Rugby. It’s like football, but different.
Recently we had the privilege of creating and designing the Rugby World Cup 2015 Live Auction. Doing so has caused us to become quite the aficionados. The Rugby World Cup 2015 tournament was hosted in London, UK and is administered by World Rugby – Rugby’s international governing body. New Zealand walked away with the William Webb Ellis Cup for the third time.
Snow and partner, Commerce Dynamics, launched the site on time and on budget just in time for the main event. The site hosted the eCommerce program in GBP currency and localized for shipping and tax systems. The RWC 2015 Auction site was widely popular with over 1000 orders generated thus far. Not only do we feature a live auction, we have also incorporated fixed price (buy now) items and personalized items as well.
Ireland Team Signed Rugby World Cup 2015 Home Replica Jersey generated the most sales on the site.
The Signed Official Rugby World Cup 2015 Match Used Ball #2, South Africa v Japan was the item sold that had the highest price (so far).
