On-Line Shopping On-track During Gloomy Economy
We believe the current economic conditions will have a lesser effect on online shopping than on traditional shopping.

Even if the gloomy economy keeps consumers locked indoors, they won't be deterred from shopping online, where increasingly savvy retailers expect to see sales soar 45 percent this year, a study released Wednesday by Shop.org and The Boston Consulting Group Inc. (BCG) said. Shop.org is an association of electronic retailers.  What safer way to shop than from the comfort of your home on your personal computer.  Learn more here: http://www.idg.net/ic_527210_4914_1-2914.html 

Language Matters to Consumers
According to Steve McClure, an Analyst for IDC, there is a commonly held, naïve business assumption that English is the language for international commerce, and that providing documentation, websites, and other types of content in English is sufficient to participate in today's global economy. Nothing could be further from the truth. IDC believes that not only is the global economy a multilingual economy, but that a company that implements a well-designed localization strategy can tap a significantly larger potential market for its products and services.   Learn more at: http://www.idg.net/crd_idgsearch_669898.html?sc=

  Tips and Tricks
   

The goal of this section is to offer clients tips and tricks to operate an efficient E-commerce site.

This month we will focus on order and product management. Order management is probably the most important portion of your site, and often not utilized to its fullest. SalesCart, out of the box, offers a Microsoft Access database that houses and collects all orders placed on a SalesCart site through the Link-Wise™ check out system. The orders database is connected to the merchant's web site and is owned and operated by the merchant. SalesCart offers a plug-in called the On-Line Order Retrieval System that takes your order management to the next necessary step -- on-line management through a browser interface. The plug-in makes retrieving your orders as easy as opening up a browser. The plug-in allows you to also print out shipping labels, create receipts or purchase order numbers as well as pull up and print out orders. More information on the On-Line Order Retrieval System can be found at: http://www.salescart.com/products/online.asp

Product management is also important to both the merchant and the consumer. The merchant should be able to add products easily and in the most time appreciative method, through a browser interface. The consumer should be able to easily search for products and navigate through the product catalog. The Product Management System is a plug-in that helps you create a product database that will provides you with a solution both merchants and consumers need. Through a browser interface, the merchant can add products in real-time to the Microsoft Access products database. The plug-in helps the merchant set up the product searches and search result pages. The merchant can then offer consumers an efficient way to search and navigate through product pages. A win - win situation! To learn more about the Product Management System, listed as the Dynamic Database plug-in, you can go to: http://www.salescart.com/products/dynamic_db.asp

  That's it for this edition.

We look forward to telling you about the newest things next time..
