A short note to offer my sincere thanks to you and the team at Chilli for the work that you have done to produce such a fantastic website for Aviair. I know we have not been the easiest client to work with however you have certainly risen to the challenge and turned out a product that is way above what we previously had and even further above anything that our competitors currently have. The feedback we have had has been astounding and the new website has firmly put the rebranding of Aviair out into the market. We wanted to ensure that we were noticed and you have achieved that goal! So, just in case you were wondering if the late nights and many phone calls were really worth it, let me assure you that we absolutely think it was. Take a bow. We are very pleased that we selected Chilli to work with.
With 11 company owned stores across Queensland, including concept stores and an online presence, Silver Shop is a high quality jewellery retailer that specialises in sterling silver pieces. We have worked with Chilli for many years, initially on our branding and strategic marketing planning.Since we have worked with them on various creative design projects including advertising campaigns (primarily using gloss lifestyle magazines) and in store collateral, along with our website.The quality of the design has always been high and it has helped us pitch our business at the quality end of the market whilst retaining our personality. The consistency of design across all our tools has also enabled us to effectively roll out campaigns across all our stores for maximum effect.Quality photography and graphic design has always been, and will continue to be, crucial to the appeal to our female audience and Chilli helps us achieve this.I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Darren and the Chilli team.
I would just like to take the time to express my gratitude and appreciation for the excellent rebranding and website design you undertook for COMLINK. Thanks for an excellent result and we look forward to continuing our very positive partnership with Chilli and moving into a very exciting future.
