  HotSite
   

This SalesCart edition HotSite is Wind Dancers  

www.wind-dancers.com
Rating:

Appropriately named for what they sell, Wind Dancers specializes in Kites, Windsocks, Flags and related accessories. This store is the perfect e-commerce model for anyone to follow. A simple navigation that allows easy access to the different product categories in the site. Going through the product pages is easy and when ready to place an order the visitor will be able to do so with the power of SalesCart PRO version 1.0.  We like this Website because often times most E-commerce shops will be very hard to navigate through and that eventually will lead to a loss of sale. The "get to the point" interface results in more sales and with the power of SalesCart PRO that point is easier to make.

SalesCart has a new plug-in that eases the shipping configuration by 80%. Instead of worrying if you have the correct shipping rates or if you are loosing money on shipping, you can institute a new way of thinking by purchasing the Shipping Service plug-in. This new shipping plug-in allows you to download the most current shipping rates from the three top providers, including the USPS and FedEx. This plug-in provides you with the peace of mind that your shipping rates are accurate and up to date.  At the same time, offering your clients shipping options from the most popular providers.

SalesCart launched a new tool that allows SalesCart merchants to research their own issues via a sophisticated and searchable on-line knowledgebase.   This new, SalesCart Support Knowledgebase, is geared towards helping the merchant quickly gather information on a problem they are having allowing them to search for a word or phrase that describes their problem. The best part of this option is that it is available for as long as you need it. SalesCart Engineers are adding to this database on a weekly basis and hope to grow it by double fold within a month. This mechanism is great for merchants that work after business hours or on weekends. You will now have the ability to troubleshoot your own problems quickly and efficiently. Support is an area at ComCity that is vastly important. ComCity strives to provide the best support available on-line. We value our customers and want to make sure they have a positive SalesCart experience. You can check out this new support mechanism on-line at http://support.salescart.com.

  That's it for this edition.

We look forward to telling you about the newest things next time.  We look forward to your continued participation next year.  Until then. 

 

Have A Happy New Year!
