Arrow Films Website
Arrow Films is a leading Independent distributor of world cinema, cult, arthouse, horror and classic films established in 1991.
The primary need for Arrow films was to invest in a new website that would be capable of showcasing the extensive range of film products they have available to purchase; classic cult films in DVD and Blu-Ray formats, film handbooks and other merchandise. With such a large and diverse product group it was important that PSP developed a really clear, easy to navigate website which presented the products in the most attractive way for the customer.
Requirements
Following on from the initial discussions with Arrow films, the following specific requirements were identified and incorporated into the design and build of the new website.
- New website that would display and showcase in detail, their extensive range of films and merchandise available to purchase from their website.
- Evolving content Arrow can self-administer both quickly and easily ensuring the latest special offers, news articles and latest cinema releases can all be added to the site in-house.
- Customer driven account content where the customer can create an account, create their own personal wish lists, subscribe to newsletters make purchases, check the balance of their reward points and ultimately make purchases or pre-order goods.
- Separate reporting and administration back end to the website where at any time of day or night the appointed administration team members can run reports, update stock levels, and add new items of merchandise, administer costs and postage.
Solution
Arrow Film's new website is an asset to their distribution business with its bright, easy to use interface and full E-Commerce functionality. Customers can purchase products, earning rewards on their purchases and have their purchases sent anywhere around the world. Customers can also browse an evolving events page displaying information on current and upcoming events of particular special interest to film fans.
The addition of a film review area gives customers the opportunity to select a film and see details relating to the cast and crew members, plot description, extra details and associated trailer to see a snapshot of what is to come. The film review section is ever-growing and expanding into a comprehensive resource of film paraphernalia.
All these content areas combined make for a great browsing and purchasing experience for the customer.

"When the time came for us to update our eCommerce solution for Arrow Films due to an ever-growing D2C business, we looked for a company who could help us architect, design and build us a whole new CMS system from scratch. PSP seemed to fit the bill perfectly, offering a full-suite in-house service that seemed to fully match our needs for a scaleable, future-proof website with full back-end reporting functionality. Throughout the early stages, PSP were extremely thorough and diligent, collaborating with us closely to identify our full needs, and their initial design solutions and comprehensive spec were great. From spec sign-off, development was clean and efficient, but what has really impressed is their go-live care which has been supreme. A new website launch is always a testing time but we have been incredibly grateful to PSP who ensured that they were on hand with full 24/7 care during the initial stages of the new site launch. Their response times, professional approach and efficiency at dealing with any minor issue was hugely appreciated during our Christmas Sale, and we look forward to working closely with them as we look to further develop and enhance www.arrowfilms.com through 2018.
