August 2007 Newsletter

Welcome

Painful words to read but we must say it - LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS – and less than 90 days until Cyber Monday - November 26th. What is Cyber Monday? Cyber Monday kicks off the busiest season for most online stores.

And hold on because you have only just begun to get busy. Your busiest days could be the weekend of the 15th and the 22nd of December when online shoppers have given up on the brick and mortar stores. As online shoppers get closer to Christmas, they tire of the malls, the crowds, and the parking lots. They have completed their research, know they want to buy and how much they are willing to pay. They are now ready to buy – online – and while at work !!!

So will you be ready? Do you provide informative content for your shoppers? Does your site convey a professional, secure and user friendly store so shoppers push the “Buy” button instead of the “Back” button to another site?

Online shoppers make many “No” decisions and only one “Buy” decision. So make sure everything on your site leads your customer to the right choice. Check out our Top 15 Enhancements For Conversion Rates.

If you have the Yahoo! Merchant Account Starter Package, things just got better for you! Yahoo! has now added coupons to their Starter Package.

FREE Classes - 1 Choice 4 Class

We have started our online course called Yahoo! Store Editor 101. The main focus of this course is to help you move around within the Yahoo! Store Editor. Subjects covered include adding products, adding sections, and moving things around, etc. The class is short and sweet and we are now offering this course free of charge to our customers. All that we ask is that at the end of your course, provide us with some feedback. Was the course easy or too hard? Did we explain things in ways that made sense or were you lost? Let us know how we did! We are asking you to grade us! Send your comments to support@1c4y.com

What is REALLY exciting is that store owners can use the course for teaching new employees! Instead of spending days trying to teach them how to use the store while also trying to take orders, get out orders, and everything else you have to do....You can give them the URL and have them complete the course by themselves. We hope to save you hours of time it would take to train them.

The class URL is http://www.1choice4ystoreclass.com
