\"From<\/a>If you are a Web Developer, you may have noticed that Eaglemat.com is built on the Magento ecommerce software platform.\u00a0 This platform was chosen because it is robust yet capable of being customized to provide a rich and user-friendly online shopping experience.<\/p>\n

Best of all, Magento software source code is free and readily available to the public.\u00a0 This open source<\/em> software enables skilled programmers from around the world to access and build upon the original source code.\u00a0 Programmers then share these custom extensions<\/em> with the open source community, creating a collaborative environment that drives innovative software improvements and distribution.<\/p>\n

In an effort to better serve customers on Eaglemat.com, Eagle Mat CIO Jon Blumberg attended the Magento Developers Conference in Miami to learn more about the future of the dynamic software company.\u00a0 Flying from Maryland to Miami, Blumberg recalls having encountered many of Eagle Mat\u2019s most popular commercial floor mat<\/a> products.<\/p>\n

Airports and Anti-Fatigue Mats<\/h2>\n

The first commercial floor mat installation Blumberg noticed was at the Washington Dulles International Airport.\u00a0 After checking in, he made his way to the long line at the airport security checkpoint.\u00a0 After nearly 30 minutes in line, Blumberg finally approached the metal detectors and began unpacking his carryon.\u00a0 Then, he noticed something:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TSA agents at our airport stand on anti-fatigue mats<\/strong>,\u201d he explains.\u00a0 \u201cIt makes perfect sense.\u00a0 TSA agents are responsible for the safety of the travelers entering the airport concourse every day.\u00a0 They cannot afford to suffer with muscle fatigue, agitation, or a lack of mental focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anti-fatigue mats<\/a> are the \u201csquishy\u201d mats you see at not only airport security checkpoints, but also in a variety of other commercial buildings.\u00a0 These mats are often used behind the service counters at banks and hotels, as well as along assembly lines in production facilities.\u00a0 They flex underfoot and stimulate the muscle fibers of the feet, legs, and lower back.\u00a0 Forward-thinking businesses understand that anti-fatigue mats have a direct impact on employee comfort, job satisfaction, focus, and productivity.<\/p>\n

Hotels and Entrance Runners<\/h2>\n

Next, Blumberg noticed an elegant Berber Supreme Entrance Mat<\/a> extending outward from the entrance of his hotel.\u00a0 Berber Supreme Entrance Mats<\/strong> are one of the highest quality mats on the market.\u00a0 They feature a distinct Berber<\/em> pattern, consisting of staggered nubs<\/em> that are made of a coarse and resilient combination of polypropylene fibers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBerber mats<\/strong> are incredibly popular because they are aggressive in their ability to clean yet elegant in appearance,\u201d Blumberg explains.\u00a0 \u201cThe hotel did a fabulous job of coordinating a 12\u2019 long charcoal colored Berber mat with the dark marble statues in their entry way.\u00a0 It looked very, very sharp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Company Events and Logo Mats<\/h2>\n

Finally, Blumberg took notice of a logo mat<\/a> at the entryway at the Magento Developers Conference (pictured above).<\/p>\n

\u201cI was happy to see a Magento<\/em> logo mat<\/strong> at the entry way to the conference room,\u201d Blumberg remembers.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve Blogged about how effective Marketing with Logo Mats<\/a> can be, and it was exciting to see such a large multinational company using a logo mat to reinforce their brand image.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logo mats<\/strong> are a creative and cost effective means of reinforcing a brand or company slogan with customers.\u00a0 Today, advances is digital printing technologies have made possible the creation of intricate logo mats<\/strong> available in a nearly limitless variety of eye-catching colors.\u00a0 High end products like the Waterhog Logo Mat<\/a> feature an even more advanced logo creation process, whereby an artist uses a razor-cut inlay process to lift and embed a logo into the surface of the mat.\u00a0 The end result creates one of the most crisp and durable logo mats on the market.<\/p>\n
