ShopVisible proudly announces our latest eCommerce site launch-video game control wizard, KontrolFreek.

Competitive gamers who embrace maximum maneuverability, 360 degree agility and speed-laden accuracy will love KontrolFreek's FPS Freek aimed (no pun intended) at popular shooter games like Halo and Call of Duty. The FPS Freek "was designed and tested by professional gamers in tournaments across the Country.  The results are clear – FPS Freek enhances aiming precision and increases game performance with a minimal learning curve." Analogously, for the racer, aviator or other mobile gamer, KontrolFreek's much lauded SpeedFreek "allows gamers to relax their thumbs while keeping in constant contact with [the] controller surface. Additionally,  the SpeedFreek's supporting slide walls enable sharper movements while adding control and precision." For the gaming aficionado who love to play GranTurismo and other racing games, this new technology is sure to get your score elevated.

The KontrolFreek technology is efficient, agile, aesthetic and affordable. Their products have been tested relentlessly by expert gamers and the results have been proven: "thousands of professional and amateur gamers have already experienced the competitive advantage of KontrolFreek’s products," and you should not wait to try if for yourself.

ShopVisible Makes Craigslist Advertisements a Cinch
Posted By Emma G
6/11/2009 12:13:00 PM

ShopVisible’s integration with the major online marketplace Craigslist gives its online retailer clients a major advantage in selling products.  Clients can use the ShopVisible platform to place ads on the Craiglists website straight from the Site Manager, the same user-interface they use to manage all aspects of their business, including multi-channel sales.  This feature is just another way that ShopVisible clients benefit from the maximum exposure of products online without additional frustration and hassle.

An online retailer can create an advertisement with the ShopVisible platform to promote any number or combination of products and services.  Likewise, the schedule, content, and location of the advertisement can be manipulated and created with ease within the ShopVisible Site Manager.  Furthermore, the advertisement can be viewed both in standard and HTML format before published from the platform.  Later a retailer can use the platform to view this ad and previously placed ones again.  Essentially, an online retailer does not have to visit the Craigslist website to place or view an advertisement. 

The ShopVisible platform fully integrates with other important online channels, such as Amazon, eBay, and Overstock.  Also, the platform has compatible software with comparison websites that are frequently used by online shoppers.

Yet again, the ShopVisible platform  does the heavy lifting on technology while the online retailer enjoys the results of both increased sales and visibility by integrating with the biggest marketplaces on the web such as Craigslist.

ShopVisible's In-Site Search Tools Make For Easy Shopping
Posted By DannieB

In-site search is an essential feature for online merchants with a variety of products.  When visitors come to a retail site, they want to be able to find the items that they’re looking for fast.  The sooner they can get to the right product, the easier they will convert.  

ShopVisible’s powerful in-site search tools make the online shopping experience convenient for the consumer.  In addition to including natural language phrase and keyword matching, clients receive real time indexing and a continuous record of visitors’ searches.  Also included is the misspelled correction function, which offers spell check suggestions of up to four phrases. Not only will Google index the misspelled phrase, but it will now have a related mini sitemap of the 4 closest spellings as well.  These urls are offered to Google in a natural language (no URL variables format), which adds the extra bonus of SEO benefits.  Take a look at how this works on ShopVisible client site, Case-mate.com, that offers stylish and functional laptop, cell phone, and other cases online. 






Last but not least, ShopVisible’s In-site search is equipped with an “auto-complete” function, which is a pretty self-explanatory tool.  Type in the beginning of a search query and a list of possible key terms generates to automatically complete the desired phrase.  Shopbags.com, retailer of luggage, backpacks, and a variety of other bags, is a nice example of a ShopVisible client site that has enabled “auto-complete” for its visitors.



Do you desire to have one or all of these in-site search features?  Is your current site lacking the features needed to help you convert more customers?  If so, contact ShopVisible for a free demo of our platform and comprehensive suite of tools to help you grow your business.  

ShopVisible is an ecommerce solution headquartered in Atlanta, GA.

ShopVisible Client Leiberts Featured in IR
Posted By jvm
6/8/2009 2:36:00 PM

The June 2009 issue of Internet Retailer arrived at my house yesterday morning. As I perused the pages of the eCommerce periodical, I found one of ShopVisible's top selling online clients featured in a section called "Hometown Heroes."

Leiberts Royal Green Appliance Center is highlighted in this month's IR in an article prefaced by stating that "[t]hey survived the competition of big box retailers and now they're trying to figure out how to compete in the age of the Internet. Increasingly, local retailers are selling online, with the personal touch that's kept many of them in business for generations."

Leiberts has been providing customers with exceptional service and quality products since 1955. Based in the White Plains suburbs of NY, Leiberts Director of Business Development, Rob Satran has helped the company excel and grow online with the support of the ShopVisible eCommerce solution.

IR notes that Leiberts "is trying to build its web business by allying with kitchen designers around the country who may not have ready access to stores with a wide range of appliances." Leiberts has also initiated an affiliate marketing program in which participating designers are given their own "microsite within the Leiberts domain, each with a customized selection of appliances and a 2% discount for customers." Thus far, says Satran, Leiberts has been working with about 20 different dealers in the online appliance medium.

En lieu of utilizing a PPC campaign for paid search, Satran notes that Leiberts prefers gradually growing its business through organic natural search as provided by ShopVisible. Linking social media marketing and customer generated content as a means to driving site traffic and procuring quality leads and sales online, Satran  believes it is "important to call each customer who makes a purchase online to make sure the buyer understands what she is getting and how long it will take for the item to arrive." This is just one key illustration of the ShopVisible and Leiberts effort at promoting user generated content and natural, organic search positioning.

Satran states that his company is selling "high-priced items and we want to make sure they're comfortable with what they're buying and that their expectations are in line with our ability to fulfill them..." Satran goes on to discuss his latest marketing tactic that entails not just radio advertising promotion, but more directed at online traction, the way in which in these aural advertising ideas, Leiberts mentions not its brick and mortar address but in fact their online URL.

This is online marketing and this is customer service at its best says ShopVisible.

PianoWorks Soars to Top of Search Right Out of the Gate
Posted By DannieB
5/29/2009 11:07:00 AM

ShopVisible powered client, PianoWorks, whose site launched not 10 days ago, is already appearing on page 1 of Google search results for valuable keywords related to their industry.  From “grand piano Atlanta” to “piano concert hall Atlanta” to “digital pianos Atlanta,” the top-ranking keywords have sprung up in search for all areas of PianoWorks' business and services—an amazing feat for a site so recently launched.  

One of the main reasons that PianoWorks chose to partner with ShopVisible was because of the ecommerce solution’s search-friendly platform.   Josh Lloyd, CTO of ShopVisible, built the first version of ShopVisible in 2001 with SEO in mind.  To this day, ShopVisible prides itself on helping clients boost their businesses to the top of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN.  PianoWorks, one of many ShopVisible clients reaping the benefits of high natural search results, is no exception.   

Check out PianoWork’s new site here.

ShopVisible Breaks Browser Incompatibility
Posted By JVM
5/22/2009 10:38:00 AM

Here at ShopVisible we test sites in various web browsers to ensure client satisfaction and optimal web performance for our eCommerce customers. Sure a given site looks and functions flawlessly in FireFox or Google Chrome but will it adapt to changes and incompatibilities in things like divergent versions of Internet Explorer? Is IE6 the same as IE7 or 8 even? The answer is no...And thanks to the ShopVisible QA processes, our clients experience fluid and seamless browser performance in all varying web browsers.

Recently a Practical eCommerce piece on Microsoft's new "Web SuperPreview" software examined this browsing conundrum. Armando Roggio notes that "[IE] has always been a problem as designers were forced to choose between widely accepted Internet standards and what would work in IE. The problem has been exacerbated by the complexity of designers having to maintain various generations of IE on a single computer."

While Microsoft has created an "Expression WebSuperPreview for IE" in order to function as a "visual debugging tool that makes it easier to migrate your web sites from [IE6] to [IE 7 or 8]," the ShopVisible design team can also strategically run through websites testing and troubleshooting these browsing inaccuracies.

The problem with browser disjunction: "Most web browsers are quick to push updates to the masses...But IE is released in a herky jerky fashion, with one generation of IE baring little or no resemblance to its predecessor." There are still web users out there using IE versions 5.5-8, meaning a "designer must code for at least three different [IE] browser that behave nothing alike." Most machines cannot support multiple versions of IE but the ShopVisible team does...We test, retest and succeed. The Microsoft package, "SuperPreview," solves this problem by permitting techies and designers to simultaneously view pages in IE 6, 7, and 8.

Built In Shipping Label Generation
Posted By DannieB
5/18/2009 11:41:00 AM

Shipping is one of the more difficult aspects of owning an online business.  Whether you ship products in-house, ship from a fulfillment center, or you use drop-shippers, the process of getting an order to a customer from the moment it is received is as complicated as it is extensive.  Multiply that order by hundreds, and the potential for problems increases at every step of the way.  That’s why many merchants in the market for a new ecommerce platform make sure to team up with a provider that has the kind of sophisticated shipping technology to make things easy and efficient.  ShopVisible is one of those providers.  This week’s blog entries are dedicated to highlighting ShopVisible’s unbeatable shipping system for every client’s needs.

Today’s Feature: Built in Label Generation

While it might seem like an afterthought, having the technology to print shipping labels easily is quite important to many online merchants.   Most ecommerce providers do not have label-printing capabilities built into their platform.  They typically integrate with a third party software packages like TrueShip or require the merchant to go through the shipping carriers like FedEx or UPS themselves.  

ShopVisible has built in technology to allow for label printing directly from the client’s Site Manager, which is the same user-interface the client uses to manage every aspect of his business including marketing, IT, back office, accounting, inventory, and of course shipping.   Automatic label generation saves the client time and hassle of managing separate software or involving another step in the process of shipping.

ShopVisible’s label generation technology includes a batch printing system, which allows clients to set up printing options so that they don’t have to hit the print button every time there is a new order or item going out.   A wide variety of options can be created to suit the client’s preferences.  For example, a client can create an option to pull all order labels every thirty minutes or he can decide to print sporadically, and create an option that will automatically pull any news labels since the last batch was printed.  

ShopVisible’s built-in application also creates a local archive of shipping label PDFs in case a client makes an error and needs to print a label more than once.  This handy archive is a great way to automatically back up information, and it saves the client a lot of clicking around in the website to find and reprint old labels.

Finally, ShopVisible supports label generation for thermal printing if needed.  

If you’re an online merchant who has experienced frustrations with your platform’s shipping tools, it may be time to switch providers.  Read more about ShopVisible’s shipping technology and check back on this blog for more information on special features that come with our standard platform.

ShopVisible is an ecommerce solution based in Atlanta, GA.

ShopVisible Offers A/B Testing as a Professional Service to Clients
Posted By DannieB
5/15/2009 12:35:00 PM

The owners of www.healthytrim.com, a storefront powered by ShopVisible that sells a natural weight loss supplement, came to the ShopVisible development team with a task.  While their site was experiencing tremendous success since their launch, they wanted to see if they could achieve an even greater conversion rate by changing one aspect of their homepage.  

As it stood, the green arrow-pointing visitors to the “order now” button offered no information on price.  Healthétrim wanted to add the price of a 30-day subscription clearly on the green arrow, then compare the two homepages to see which rendered the most conversions.

ShopVisible helped healthétrim create an A/B testing program around this request.  The ecommerce solution’s developers created a new homepage highlighting “30 Day Supply only $54.99” on the green arrow graphic.   Then, they hooked up both homepages to the Google Website Optimizer, a new tool that can run a wide variety of reports on design experiments.  Now, half of the people that visit www.healthytrim.com see the original homepage, and half see the new homepage with a price listing.
