Following on from the Guernsey Post website re-design Oi has now completed the new,  fully content managed,  Guernsey Stamps e-commerce site…

The new Guernsey Stamps site features better usability and a much clearer checkout process.

All of the stamps have a custom built zoom feature, allowing users to zoom in on stamps sheets and view individual stamps clearly.

The new site includes express ordering for bulk orders allowing frequent stamp purchasers to easily click through placing a large order on one scrolling page, without having to navigate through to different pages for various products.

There is also a custom built polling page on which website visitors can vote on their favourite stamps. This serves as a fun an engaging tool for stamps aficionados and a great data capture mechanism for Guernsey Stamps.

Well, working on this cool new website from Guernsey Post’s Philatelic Bureau was lots of fun for those involved at Oi. The e-commerce website is part of a campaign to promote its new Penny the Postie children’s book – a great present for young children…

The website has a really nice illustrated design feel, simple navigation, nicely structured e-commerce system and some other subtle touches of Flash with the occasional wink and wave from the adventurous Penny as the wind blows through her hair

The Oi digital team are launching a new e-commerce microsite for Guernsey Philatelic promoting its new Penny the Postie children’s book – a great present for young children…

The new website, design and built by Oi, has a nice, subtle touch of Flash and will be coming soon at www.pennythepostie.com

The Offshore International digital team have won a pitch to develop a bespoke web programme that will enable Guernsey Post bulk mailers to connect online and generate electronic dockets…

Guernsey Post identified a need for this solution in their ongoing strategy to save costs. Oi will be creating a bespoke e-docketing postal system, which will change Guernsey Post’s current paper docket process into a streamlined electronic system allowing bulk mailing customers and Guernsey Post to accurately track and manage postal dockets through a secure login area on www.guernseypost.com. Improved efficiencies and cost savings will be achieved once the project goes live in April.

A further part of the project includes integrating a Down Stream Access system, which connects post sent from Guernsey to the UK with the Royal Mail postal network.

We’re really pleased to have won these major projects, which further demonstrate our track record of building advanced digital solutions for clients.

Guernsey Post has launched a new website designed and built by Offshore International Digital.

The new look www.guernseypost.com has a simpler design so users can easily find information on postal, business, retail, money or philatelic services and incorporates an advanced content management system for easy maintenance, postage calculator, postcode finders, mail tracker, to name a few features.

When Guernsey Post needed to communicate future changes to their postal rates promptly and effectively they knew who to approach.  In a very short time frame we developed concepts and designs for a microsite that educates consumers about the structural changes to postal rates as of April 2010.

Pricing in Proportion or PiP as it’s affectionately known means postal rates are calculated on the dimensions of an item as well as its weight.

Offshore International Digital developed animated media explaining the changes as well as a postage calculator which highlights the differences between current rates and the new rates and also provides guidance as to what consumers can do to reduce postal charges.

This major win will see Offshore International Digital re-designing and building a leading-edge online solution including online postage, product sales and customer services which will become an essential sales and marketing portal in the near future.

Dominic Bennett, Offshore International Digital Managing Director, said: “We are excited by this project which helps increase our reputation as a leading supplier of large scale online solutions. We are looking forward to building a long and successful relationship with the team at Guernsey Post as they continue to evolve their business.”

The Guernsey Post came to Offshore International Advertising for a one off job that turned into another job and then another. Originally commissioned to produce a direct mail item to promote their stamps, Offshore International were then asked to produce some internal communication displays to help the Guernsey Post keep the staff informed of upcoming changes…

These took the form of large format drop-downs in the building, designs for up-grading the colour schemes of some sections and communication boards and posters to motivate the staff to join in discussions with management to make the Post Office a better and more efficient place to work.
