“As we examined the Christian e-commerce marketplace, DeeperCalling stands out as a quality provider of Christian retail websites built from the ground up with highly flexible e-commerce functionality and a vast selection of Christian merchandise. We think this relationship will help us grow our Christian e-commerce business,” said David Evans, Salem’s President of Interactive and Publishing.
As part of the agreement, DeeperCalling Media will develop customized e-commerce websites for Salem including a Christian book store and a church supplies store. In addition, Salem has made a strategic investment in DeeperCalling Media to help finance its continued expansion.
