Alexandria, Minnesota - August 9, 2006 -Tastefully Simple Inc., the original national home taste-testing company featuring easy-to-prepare gourmet foods, recently released its new website – giving visitors a virtual feast of technology’s piping-hot capabilities. TastefullySimple.com, which features ultra-easy product ordering, ingredient-driven recipe searches and interactive multimedia components, is now easier to use and offers many extras to its online clients. 

Through the innovative work of Tastefully Simple’s technology team and Minneapolis agency Wolfmotell (www.wolfmotell.com), visitors will enjoy streamlined navigation, improved organization and a site-search capability. “In designing the new site, we really focused on user friendliness,” says Jill Blashack Strahan, Tastefully Simple founder and CEO. “We want visitors to feel at home – comfortable finding exactly what they want.” With a Microsoft® e-commerce platform, orders can be placed with just a few mouse clicks or through personal accounts for ultimate ease. Additionally, the direct sales company’s site is unique in offering visitors the choice of selecting a consultant or being connected with one via a zip code-radius search. Finally, quick facts – product FAQs, nutritional or consultant contact information – can be accessed in a snap. “Functions throughout the site give instant results – instant gratification,” Blashack Strahan says. “We love that.”

Tastefully Simple’s new site caters to visitors with an appetite for information, as well as those hungry for products. With more details for those interested in starting their own business, more company information and an improved employment section, visitors can get the dish on Tastefully Simple’s history, happenings and openings. Those seeking inspiration will appreciate the site’s quotes and consultant stories sections, and enjoy the personal touch of audio and video clips from Blashack Strahan and consultants. “We’ve expanded our site in response to visitors’ requests,” Blashack Strahan says. “Our goal is to help visitors simplify and enrich their lives with our products, opportunities and philosophies.”

Tastefully Simple is a leading direct-sales company with nearly 20,000 independent consultants nationwide. The company was recently inducted into Inc. magazine’s Inc. 500 Hall of Fame with Blashack Strahan named an Inc. 500 All Star. Tastefully Simple credits much of its success to its consultants, who give opportunities for people to taste-test convenient gourmet foods, and create awareness for others interested in operating home-based Tastefully Simple businesses.
