EVERYTHING4MDS. COM REPORTS Exponential Expansion: 75% Annual Sales INCREASE & 25% Growth of Healthcare E-Commerce Customer Base
(PRWEB) March 1, 2002
Marina del Rey, Calif. –– With industry research showing that among doctors with access to the Internet, more than 80% go online every day, Everything4MDs (www. E4MDs) reports a dramatic 75% sales increase for 2001 over the previous year and 25% increase in its customer base. Today, more 50,000 physicians access the site for significant savings on a complete range of medical and offices supplies and access to healthcare information technology products and solutions.
“Our existing customer base is extremely satisfied with product offerings, pricing and customer service – evidenced by an increase of 39% in purchases by our existing customer base over last year,” Robert Hess, PhD and CEO of Everything4MDs. “Our business pipeline is robust and operations continue to flourish.” To access an online interview with Dr. Hess, visit www. cpronline. com/hess. htm (http://www. cpronline. com/hess. htm )
Hess attributes this strong record of company growth to implementation of key business strategies. “We have launched a business channel partnership program that is proving valuable in connecting E4MDs with physician offices throughout the country that are already Internet-enabled. These partnerships and alliances are driving the e-procurement model and substantially increasing our presence at the physician desktop.”
He points out the company continues to focus on the physician marketplace, serving practices and clinics of all sizes. “E4MDs has longstanding, established relationships with Independent Practice Associations, Physician Hospital Organizations, medical societies and large groups – providing a strong business platform for expansion with these types of umbrella organizations. Our marketing and public relations programs continue to generate strong interest from these larger entities as well as ongoing attention among smaller practices with 1-10 doctors in all specialties.”
Going forward, Hess projects further development of the sound business model, fueled by upgraded Web site technology that will enable the company to implement marketing programs in concert with product manufacturers, healthcare information technology vendors, hardware/software companies and others.
“With the significant increase in our client base and our electronic connectivity to physician offices, E4MDs is an attractive business partner in the e-healthcare marketplace,” says Dr. Hess. “In the past six months, for example, we have seen a dramatic growth in online ordering vs. FAX and paper-based processing. E-procurement is an attractive option that is gaining momentum.”
