Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:22:26 GMT

Leslie R Tipping Ltd., a leading UK supplier of funeral supplies to the funeral trade has made it even easier and more convenient for its customers to buy funeral supplies with the introduction of card payments.

The business is now able to accept card payments for its goods either by a completely secure link on the internet, in person or over the telephone. This gives customers complete control over their payments and the flexibility to decide on their payment method whilst them saving time and administration.

Managing Director of Leslie R Tipping Ltd, James Tipping said “Having had our website containing all of our 2000+ products for over 2 years now, it is naturally the next phase in our company’s development to take another next step into streamlining processes and e-commerce by offering customers the speed, ease and convenience of paying for their goods by debit or credit card. This now means that existing customers can pay their invoices without having to write out cheques and new customers can pay instantly when their order is placed so the time it takes them to receive their goods is reduced. We see this as a win-win situation where there is less admin involved on both sides but peace of mind is enhanced.

This new element to our service, I feel contributes to our aim to be the first choice for funeral directors throughout the UK by supplying superb products and friendly high quality service.”

Leslie R Tipping Launch Online Ordering

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:37:57 GMT

Following the successful launch of their catalogue website www.lrtipping.co.uk in September, Leslie R. Tipping Ltd., a leading supplier to the funeral trade is delighted to announce the launch of its online ordering facility, the first of its kind in the funeral trade.

Existing and new customers can now visit the company website and request a unique username and password. They can use these login details to access the website, view prices and order goods online from a range consisting of over 2,000 products.

Managing Director of Leslie R Tipping, James Tipping commented “We have been working in partnership with the funeral trade for nearly 70 years. Recently we have seen a growing trend of funeral directors looking towards the internet to promote themselves and we felt the time was right to embrace the web ourselves and incorporate the benefits into our business allowing us to give funeral directors access to 24/7 online procurement.

The benefit of our site is the ease with which funeral directors can search and source either a specific product or utilise the user friendly catalogue in compiling a list of their more general day-to-day requirements. Detailed images and descriptions for every product will assist the funeral director in deciding the most appropriate products for their funeral homes and the services they provide. Not only that, but they can browse our range and order whenever they wish. We understand that funeral directing is a 24/7 service and we would like to give our customers the flexibility of ordering at a time that is convenient to them, so that they are not constrained by the more typical office hours.

We launched the online ordering facility on the 29th October and we have been delighted with the several hundred requests for registration and the fantastic feedback received. Although we have this huge product range online it is by no means definitive. We are a specialist gown/interior/frilling manufacturer and can offer a bespoke service if a funeral director cannot find what they are looking for, likewise if there is an item that you cannot see on the website we will gladly research the product and find and source a solution. We see the site as being a work in progress and look forward to continuing to improve the products and service we offer either online or by the more traditional means.”

Managing Director of Leslie R. Tipping Limited, James Tipping commented: “We are very proud to offer the funeral trade this comprehensive showcase of all our products. Our family company have been trading for over 60 years and we have successfully built up a strong client base across the UK servicing their requirements by offering a good range of products.

However, we felt that the time and opportunity was right for us to take the funeral supplies market into another dimension and offer existing and new customers a product range of such scope as to facilitate and fully satisfy their procurement process. This new range and web presence has taken some 2 years of planning and development to date, but we remain fully committed to further enhancing our customers' buying experience and will continue to be active in our pursuit of being the market leading funeral requisites supplier.

We hope that customers will enjoy the benefit of our extended range and will continue to order in whatever medium they are most comfortable with whether that be phone, post, fax, email or through our new online facility.”
