SiteBeat: October 2009

Greetings from HEROweb/MightyMerchant

November is just days away but it's not too early for the team here at HEROweb/MightyMerchant to begin offering some Christmas-like deals to our family of clients.

The holiday season can be a hectic time and we want to ensure that your eCommerce business runs smoothly (and profitably!).

As such, read on for new offers and of course helpful tips and other special announcements.

And as always, thank you for reading SiteBeat!

New Vehicle Wrap!

Our biggest Referral Offer continues

Announced just last month, don't forget about our latest referral offer:

If a customer you send signs up for our site development services and maintain an active site for a minimum of two months, we'll credit your account for $250. It's that simple!

If you refer us a customer please let us know in advance so we may be on the lookout for their call.

Site Update Service

While one of the many benefits of working with HEROweb/MightyMerchant is the MightyMerchant platform and its incredibly powerful site management system, we understand that many of you may be too busy to make all the necessary continuous updates to your site.

If this is the position you find yourself in, you'll be pleased to hear that we are announcing a new Site Updating service!

For only $30/hour, almost half our normal design rate, we can make text or image updates; changes normally made by users through their respective site manager.

So the next time you are short of time and have some changes that have to be made, give us a call to lend a hand!

And speaking of site changes, check out the new MightyMerchant Blog design.

Promote Your Products on Google's Shopping Engine

Everyone's heard of Google but you may not have noticed that Google has its own shopping engine, called Google Product Search.

As one of the most shopped sites on the web, Google Product Search is a great place to list your site's products!

Also, by submitting your products there and landing in the top three spots for a popular search, your product may then appear on the front page of Google.com.

For example, check out the shopping results for Hacky Sacks here on Google.com.

Want to advertise your site's products in Google Product Search? Contact us today to find out how.

Fraudulent Order Reminder

With increased traffic and sales volume during the holiday season, now more than ever is the time to watch for the possibility of fraudulent orders.

One telltale sign of a possible occurrence is a larger-than-normal order amount with different bill-to and ship-to addresses.

Check out one of our previous articles for more information and how to avoid falling prey to these rare but potentially damaging order instances
