Greetings from Robert Schow, VP of Customer Relations
The summer months are upon us, and with the heat come new and exciting opportunities for our merchants to increase their site-building knowledge. In this newsletter we will discuss a free merchant webinar that we will be hosting on July 17, 2008 at 3 PM MST.
Merchant Webinar
Do you feel as if you don't have all the answers you need all at once? Or feel as if you have great information at your hands but need some kind of interaction, or someone to talk to?
What is a webinar you might ask? If one were to look on the internet for the definition it would tell you a webinar is short for Web-based seminar, a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web.
Benefits of a Webinar
- A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.
- Participants are able to interact with the instructor(s) and ask questions and get answers in real time that pertain to the topic in discussion.
- Webinars offer a convenience to the participant and a low cost level if any at all (FREE), depending on the business decision of course.
- These types of online courses have a higher impact than being able to take what you have in the help button, merchant services, and even the Getting Started Packet simply reading this material.
- No travel is required.
Attending a webinar is like attending any seminar apart from the place where the event takes place. Instead of meeting in a conference room you meet in a virtual conference room on the web. Joining a meeting does not take long and is relatively fast and easy.
With the way technology is today and the added convenience Webinars bring to any given company for further instruction of a certain discussion or topic, Stores Online is proud to announce our first Customer Support Webinar which will be held on July 17, 2008 live at 3 PM MST, and we invite all active merchants that wish to receive further enlightenment in setting up your own personal websites.
Our topic of discussion will be in regards to setting up your own Ordering Rules which if you are familiar with, will calculate the shipping costs of your orders which you ship out to your consumers that visit and purchase from your website. We will have some of the best instructors in this given area of discussion.
Again we invite you to join us on July 17, 2008 at 3 PM MST live where we will discuss with you Ordering Rules and then open the last few minutes to Questions and Answers.

New StoresOnline Pro Features
New Design: Cologne and Nouveau are now available in StoresOnline Pro. Check them out by clicking on the Site tab.
Default Categories: You can now turn on and off the default category using the Set Default and Remove Default buttons. Selecting a Default Category can save you time while adding new products to your website. For example, if you know that the next 20 products that you add are going to be in your “Summer Collection” category, select that as the default category. As you add these 20 products, you won’t need manually assign each product to the “Summer Collection” category, it will be done automatically. Then, when you start adding products that belong in another category, you can switch the default category to that one. If you are adding a variety of products that are all in different categories, then you might want to click the Remove Default button so that you can assign them to their correct category one by one.
New Tutorials: There are two new tutorials available in Merchant Services: Anchor Text Linking and Pay Per Post Advertising. These are both brand new optimization and marketing techniques that are proving to be quite affective.
