Why People Love UKFast

Regis UK is a flagship division of Regis Corporation, the largest salon company in the world. Regis owns and operates over 350 salons in the United Kingdom, including brands such as Regis, Supercuts and Sassoon Salon. The company also has a large retail presence, selling a selection of well-known hair care products and electrical goods online and in-store.

Up until 18 months ago Regis UK only sold its products in-store. Development of an eCommerce platform meant Regis needed a hosting partner that fully understood Magento and could provide a Magento-optimised platform on which to host its service. In the build-up to the biggest weekend in eCommerce, Cyber Weekend, Regis needed to ensure its website was performing to the highest standard for optimum sales performance.

After transferring its eCommerce platform over to a UKFast Magento-optimised server, Regis has seen rapid growth; the selling of products online and in-store now accounts for half of its revenue. UKFast carried out a Magento pod server audit which ensured optimum sales performance during Cyber weekend; the result was sales figures were double that of last year.
