Canadian Land Border Duty Free Store Recent Activities
DFS Ventures Inc. (Emerson Duty Free) – Manitoba – New Online Shopping and Pick-Up Initiative:
 A new and exciting initiative for the Canadian duty free industry has just been implemented and initiated by DFS Ventures (Emerson Duty Free Shop) in Emerson, Manitoba.
What is the new initiative? DFS Ventures has developed a web store and highway delivery system for their customers. This was initially thought of as a way to deal with access problems due to border line-ups, but it is also part of their ongoing experiments to find new and innovative ways to attract the new generation of travellers. The soft launch of the website went live on Thursday, July 30th, with the hard launch expected sometime in the month of August 2009.
To review their new website, go to: www.emersondutyfree.com
Customers to Emerson Duty Free can now order their favourite duty free items online at any time prior to their trip, and Emerson Duty Free will deliver their purchases directly to their vehicle, without the customer having to leave their car. The customer simply goes to the Emerson Duty Free Pre-Delivery Trailer parked alongside the highway just south of Canada Customs and the Emerson staff will bring the order to the car.
For information on advertising your products on the Emerson site, please contact Rob Prince at DFS Ventures. Rob and his team will be working with their marketing partners to establish links and “hit words” so people surfing the net will easily find them. They will also be doing ongoing media spots and print advertising as they approach the September long weekend. They also have a bag stuffer "webstore bag stuffer" that is announcing the site to their existing customers.
