ShopVisible Makes Craigslist Advertisements a Cinch
|

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.

PianoWorks Soars to Top of Search Right Out of the Gate
|
|
|
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.

ShopVisible Breaks Browser Incompatibility
|

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.

eCommerce101: Choosing a Solution Provider
|
| By JVM |

Choosing an eCommerce provider can be tricky. We at ShopVisible want to make this endeavor a pleasant one for eCommerce merchants and other online vendors of goods and services.
I read a few articles and blogs on this process and after doing so, am not fully convinced of the current suggestions on the web and their oversimplification of eCommerce, SEO and platform hosting solutions.
In "Discover How to Find the Best Ecommerce Software," one writer alludes to trying as many eCommerce solutions as possible to dwindle the list down to your top bets. ShopVisible knows that this type of overarching and ill-refined solution research will leave the prospect tired, confused and unsure of their own business aims. A reader notes that "to be the best, ecommerce software should be a package of all the useful features that the modern day business needs to become a well established wholesaler or retailer." ShopVisible knows that up-to-date e-businesses like shopBags, Sport-Smart and Bambeco must not just keep up with eCommerce standards but in fact reinvent them and do so daily.
Dana Everett writes that "the e-business could be a team of marketing managers, dropshippers, computer hardware vendors, medicine dealers, or they may be cloth or jewelery merchants. Good ecommerce software should contain all the necessary features that will make it highly equipped to tackle the management of any type of business." ShopVisible is not only cognizant of this point but employs it daily. Our clients service myriad industries: travel, green and eco-friendly, apparel, home and decor and more... We also are constantly evolving, aiming to make the selling and marketing lives of our clients more visible to them and more visible to the web audience they are seeking to immerse themselves in.
SideNote: One of the articles related to this topic hypes up a rather ubiquitous web presence in the field of eCommerce. We at ShopVisible would like to challenge our readers and our competitors to make a genuine comparison for themselves regarding the super-laudatory words of this one critic concerning eCommerce competition: "One of the top ranking software packages is ***. This is a type of eCommerce software which, according to many business people [???, how about some true eCommerce merchants?] is the most effective solution for the modern business and is sometimes considered the best eCommerce software. ***is powered by a series of features well worth mentioning...most effective marketing tools and ROI tracking system...unlimited product catalog and unlimited categories and sub categories, live shipping rate integration system, quantity discounting facility, POS interface with barcode scanning...integrated 5-tier affiliate system, phone order system, automated drop shipping facility, advanced inventory management system...newsletter tracking mechanism..."
I challenge this author and any other eCommerce review out there to check out Atlanta-GA eCommerce solution, ShopVisible. Not only do we offer the above praised functions and features but we are constantly evolving and expanding our door into new niche services and with new design: both template and custom, for all your eCommerce needs.
