Stockton, CA ( prbd ) November 11, 2010 - California Republic Stationers, a pencil brand and retailer specializing in high-quality wooden pencils, has launched a brand new web platform at Pencils.com! In keeping with the philosophy that ( http://www.pencils.com ) pencils are an extension of a person’s freedom of expression, Pencils.com not only includes a storefront for California Republic products, but contains discussion boards, lesson plans, blogs, and lots of content to inform, entertain and allow artists and pencil fans to interact.
With a goal to be a repository for anyone interested in pencils, users are drawn to the website through the store, where they can buy the new Palomino Blackwing, the earth-friendly ForestChoice, customized imprinted pencils and many more high-quality complementary products like sharpeners and art supplies. We plan on expanding shopping functionality into advanced user-customizable options like design-your-own private label ( http://www.pencils.com ) pencils in the near future. Our storefront has advanced e-commerce capabilities, including product recommendations, simple point-of-sale interface and a smart layout for simple searching.
A few corners of Pencil.com’s online community:
The Story of Pencils: An engaging, detailed history of the pencil, a writing instrument with a long history and a large social capital. For example, did you know the average pencil can write about 45,000 words? That’s enough content to fill a novel! This section has lesson plans for students, as well as resources, quotes, and more!
Featured Artist: Pencils, especially California Republic brands, are loved by artists and writers alike. We bring regular tips and tricks from sketch artists, like how to draw realistic clouds with pencils, proper grip, and how to sharpen a chisel tip onto your pencil! We also have writers who share what inspires them, how they write, and how to practice uninhibited writing.
What’s New blog: Learn about new products, pencil projects and interesting shareables from around the Internet, including the new Palomino Blackwing, a pencil whose arrival was one of the most publicized and anticipated in modern history!
