The new carolee.com
site sports some fancy graphics (thankfully with a "skip
intro" option) to introduce a site dedicated to helping women find
products that fit their personality and lifestyle.
With a limited selection of merchandise, visitors are
directed to select assortments based upon lifestyle choices and personal
tastes.
Carolee.com describes itself as "A Toolbox for Life,'' offering
both advice to fix problems, and fashion "fixes''.
According to Carolee CEO, Carolee Freidlander, "Carolee.com is
about connecting and serving sophisticated, discerning women who
appreciate taste and style, quality products and integrity, with a wide
range of expert advice to help them simplify, enrich or inform their
everyday personal and professional lives."
While visitors may find this an admirable objective, they may be disappointed
in its initial execution due to a limited assortment and content.
However there is plenty of scope for Freidlander to build upon her
vision and continue to grow the site in line with her goals.
Carolee.com consists of a number of interactive departments:
Your Career: Advice from Carolee Freidlander and other
business women on what they did to succeed.
Your Wedding: Four services designed to aid the bride-to-be.
Your Style: Helps visitors define styles that fit into their
own personality based on five characteristics.
Shopping Boutique and Perfect Gifts offers a selection
of high margin gifts and accessories.
According to Freidlander "Carolee.com was conceived on the
philosophy that women 'network' with one another for the best sources,
information, products and endorsements by women they trust. Women want
to balance work with the rest of their life and be open to learning how
others have accomplished this elusive task."
