The Lamp Stand Fragrance Lamps and Oils - Meeting Customers Halfway in a Down Economy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 3, 2009 --

Springfield, MO – TheLampStand.com has quickly become one of the largest Fragrance Lamp and Candle e-commerce websites on the internet. Started as a home based business in 2006 as a means of paying off a school loan, the owners of The Lamp Stand never dreamed of the growth their business would see in only a few short years. The Lamp Stand started with an inventory of only 10-12 different Fragrance Lamps (also known as Effusion Lamps) and no candle lines at all. Today, the store offers one of the largest Fragrance Lamp retail inventories in the world and a massive selection of top brand name Scented Candles and Reed Diffusers. Top selling lines include WoodWick Candles, Yankee Candles, Beanpod Candles, La Tee Da Fragrance Lamp Products, Scentimental Scents products, Ne Qwa Art and many more. The Lamp Stand even offers their own line of USA made Fragrance Lamp Oil called Scentimental Scents. The company also sells its own brand of Fragrance Lamps called Isabella Lamps.

A few of the critical principals that have led to the overnight success of the business include the following. The first principal is Discount Pricing. The Lamp Stand owners feel that people shop on the internet primarily to get a deal. While some store owners strive to make as much profit as possible on an item, at The Lamp Stand volume is the name of the business. Sell as many items as possible at great prices and everyone involved is blessed. Especially considering the current economy, The Lamp Stand owners have slashed prices to keep product affordable for their customers. They may not make as much profit as they could, but their long list of happy customers is always growing longer and longer.

Secondly, Free Shipping Offers have been one of the keys to success for The Lamp Stand. One of the biggest downfalls to online shopping is the cost of shipping. This is true for both the customer and the retailer. Unfortunately, every product purchased has to be shipped and that cost is usually pretty high for the consumer. One of the company’s goals has been to consistently offer Free Shipping or reduced rate shipping on as many orders as possible. Currently, any order over $45 receives a flat shipping rate of only $3.95 and orders of $75 or more ship for FREE. These offers keep customers from feeling like they are loosing all of their online shopping savings to the dreaded shipping rates you find at many online stores.

A third principal that keeps The Lamp Stand going strong is their commitment to exceptional customer service. From the top down at The Lamp Stand, there is a commitment to the old fashioned way of doing business where the customer is always right and keeping a customer is more important than making an extra dime on a sale. Since its beginning in 2006, the store has always had a 99% excellent store rating with all customer reviews.

A final principal that The Lamp Stand follows is Giving Back. The Lamp Stand currently has a list of non-profit humanitarian and mission’s organizations that are supported each month from the profits of the business. These include support for impoverished orphans in Haiti, drilling water wells in Africa, and more. They truly believe that one of the biggest keys to growing a business is to give all you can whenever you can in all the ways you can.

As The Lamp Stand team prepares for Christmas, they are expecting record sales even in the midst of a difficult economic environment. More so now than ever, people are going to be trying to stretch a dollar as much as possible this holiday season. The Lamp Stand has been working hard to purchase closeout items and negotiate the best deals with manufacturers to be able to offer the absolute lowest prices on the web for fine fragrance lamps, candles and gifts this season.
