Maytex Global, a leading technology company based in central New Jersey, was founded with one goal in mind: to revolutionize the way consumers design their homes. Maytex Global’s patent-pending system uses the latest in technological advances along with our LiveRender™ software, allowing the consumer to view multiple selections in a photo-realistic setting, enhancing the purchasing experience by eliminating the dreaded guesswork involved with home decorating.  
     
  The heart of our system...
 
 
  The heart of our system lies in the acclaimed SeeItYourWay program. This is where a customer’s imagination and reality come together, producing a design experience which literally transforms home-projects from guesswork to artwork. SeeItYourWay is the only system that fully integrates customization and previewing of the full spectrum of a room’s visual products in real-life imagery. As opposed to the existing systems, which show artificial-looking CAD products, SeeItYourWay uses actual photos. Using genuine images provides our clients with a smooth and targeted marketing system that is both cost efficient and extremely effective. Customers get familiar and educated with specific products, and fall in love with the kitchen they designed. SeeItYourWay also eliminates the all-too-often scenario of a dissatisfied buyer coming back saying that the project did not come out the way they envisioned it.  
     
  Geared for today's market…  
  SeeItYourWay is the tool that more and more retailers are using to attract consumers in today’s market. We are in the process of filling our library with the products today’s consumers are buying- long-lasting, quality merchandise that is “green” and affordable. Instead of wasting time and gas traveling from store to store, SeeItYourWay does the “best deal” homework, in addition to allowing users to see the whole picture in real time. No more costly interior decorators, no more costly decorating mistakes. It’s the new technology for the new economy.  
     
  Vendor Directory...  
  As a result of SeeItYourWay’s whopping online staying power- averaging more than 12 minutes per visit- SeeItYourWay's Vendor Directory packs a powerful advertising punch. With a separate directory for each category featured on the site, it directs users to the vendors located within a certain distance to their zip-code. The directory consists of retailers selling kitchen cabinetry, hardware, counters, tiles, hardwood flooring, appliances, lighting, window treatments, sinks and faucets, furniture, and countertop accents. Being a referral program, vendors in the directory don’t necessarily have to sell the exact products we feature. Vendors also have the option to “purchase” a specific Buy button so that when users in their zip-code click on that item’s Buy button, they will be directed to that vendor’s store, website, or link directly to that item on the vendor's website.
 
 
     
  Cross-Advertising...  
  Advertisers may also gain publicity and branding via an optional custom “Design My Kitchen” link that will be placed on their websites, or in their showroom kiosks or computer. The concept is simple- homebuilders and renovators designing a kitchen aren’t only looking for cabinets, but are typically also looking for flooring, backsplash tiles, appliances, etc. So if you are a cabinet vendor, your store will show up while they are shopping for tiles by a local tile retailer, and the name of that local tile retailer will show up on the site while users are choosing cabinets. This can be controlled by the vendor, so as not to infringe upon their own interests by showing competing vendors.  
     
  Virtual Design Center...  
  Besides private-labeling customized sites for manufacturers and retailers, SeeItYourWay is also being explored as a stand-alone model by vendors of multiple products where in-store kiosks will allow customization and previewing of a room’s settings, and advertise a more comprehensive mix of a store’s products. By placing large screens in their showrooms, vendors can offer their buyers the ability to coordinate their room in high-quality, while allowing the consumers to feel and see the actual swatches themselves. Instead of salespeople having to act aggressively, the products speak for themselves, wowing buyers by showing their aesthetic qualities in a custom-made arrangement, created by the buyers themselves. And while a customer perhaps came to a store or site just to choose and preview a tile, once he sees the window treatment we coordinated with that specific tile- shown in the room together with the tile- he might purchase that too. (And the lighting fixture, and the paint, and... We call this the “It All Started With a Doormat” concept.) Contractors who have our Personal Design Center on their laptop when meeting with clients eliminate much of the guessing and have a happier client, especially when saving rooms in advance customized for that client.  
     
  Chock full of features...  
  The SeeItYourWay program comes with many exciting features. Our basic system allows for previewing of cabinet styles, shapes, colors and glaze, knobs, popular and unique countertops, ranges, microwave ovens, oven hoods, dishwashers, backsplash tiles, liners, decorative tiles, grout, hardwood and tile flooring, sinks, faucets, lighting fixtures, window treatments, barstools, small appliances, and countertop accents. More items, categories, layouts, and rooms are being added all the time. Some of our basic features include:

Alternate Views. Customers have the ability change the view or design of certain products. They can rotate floors or backsplash tiles 45 degrees and change the tile pattern from standard grid layout to brick-joint, change counter shape, close window shades, and more.

Saved Rooms. Customers have the ability to save as many room combinations as they wish. Once saved, they can be accessed by any vendor’s kiosk or computer, so that costumers can actually feel and touch the selections they chose at home.

Printing and E-mailing of Saved Rooms. Saved rooms can be e-mailed and printed in high-resolution. Click on the much-talked-about “Enlarge” button to view selections in high quality, and then zoom in to see the detail of any product. Additionally, an order-sheet of selections can be printed for reference.

Product Detail Information. Manufacturers inform SeeItYourWay which information they want included to show for each product. Product information for each item is then made easily accessible to customers.

Designer Room Style Presets. Many consumers would like a starting point designing their room. CK Design Suggestions is a great place to start. Users click on this button and select the image that most accurately reflects their personal style (Classic, Country, Traditional, etc.). Here they’ll find designer Cheryl Kamenetsky’s choice design combinations, which can be tweaked further to a customer’s exact taste. They will also be able to arrange an appointment to meet a designer for a one-on-one consultation. Click here if you are a designer and wish to join the SeeItYourWay network.

“Quote This Kitchen” Feature. After users design their kitchen, they can simply click on the e-mail link of the Exclusive Vendor, or of any Preferred Vendor. An editable e-mail is sent to the vendor with a high-resolution image of the room the buyer designed attached. The text will state that the user is looking into something similar to the attached image. This gives vendors the opportunity to reach out to interested potential buyers in their area and engage them to enter their store.

Buy Button. When clicking on a specific item, a vendor can “purchase” its Buy button so that when users in their zip-code click on that item’s Buy button, they will be directed to that vendor’s store. It will show the store’s logo, address, phone number, and link to their website and e-mail. It can either link directly to that product on the company’s website, or to the company’s homepage.

Selection Palette Placement. Manufacturers can have their items placed higher on the selection palette, and can have SeeItYourWay attach banners to a swatch stating something like Designer’s Choice, New for 2009!, “Green”, etc..
 
 
 
The future…

Other features becoming available include a Comparison Slideshow, where users will be able to see the sometimes-subtle differences between all their selections with extreme clarity as each saved scene fades from one to the next. Additionally, Voice Sales Pitching will be offered, where a voice-over of a salesman pitching the benefits of that particular selection will be heard when users click on select manufacturer-sponsored swatches. A host of additional exciting and creative ideas are in the pipeline at SeeItYourWay.
