September 2009
Greetings from HEROweb/MightyMerchant
Fall has arrived and with it, a change in the air and hopefully, some changes to your site as you prepare for the upcoming holidays and their unique blend of shoppers.
We all know about the Christmas rush but what about those looking to decorate their homes, plan for parties, or shop for themselves for that winter vacation?
Q4 is the time to have all your marketing ducks in a row to ensure your products are in front of this influx of online shoppers over the next three months!
Read on for a special referral offer, upcoming speaking engagements, and other tips and announcements.
Thank you for reading SiteBeat!

Our biggest Referral Offer EVER!
As we enter the last three months of '09 we would like to offer you a special bonus for sending new customers our way.
If a customer you send signs up for our site development services and keeps their site active for a minimum of two months, we'll credit your account for $250, it's that simple!
If you refer us a customer please drop us an email or call so we can be on the lookout for their call.
Comparison Shopping Feed Management / Pay-Per-Click Marketing
With Q4 upon us, now is the time to assess the various marketing avenues available online.
One of the most powerful of these channels is a Comparison Shopping Engine (CSE); a site which allows shoppers to view prices from multiple vendors for a specific product.
How do I put my products on these sites, you ask?
HEROweb/MightyMerchant can set up, continually submit, and monitor product shopping feeds for you.
We can tailor your product feeds to submit to any number of these sites, including Google Product Search, Shopping.com, Shopzilla, and NexTag.
We also offer a great Pay-Per-Click marketing service, putting your ads on page 1 of Google, Yahoo, or Bing search engines.
Give us a call today to get started.
Shari at sfskincare.com is certainly happy she did -
I have been using Mighty Merchant's marketing services for a few months now, and have really seen a big difference in sales. I have a small e-commerce business and haven't had a lot experience in marketing. Mike Brown at MightyMerchant put my mind at ease. He has really taken the time to explain the marketing campaign he developed for my business. I receive weekly reports, and he keeps me notified on our progress as well as developing future plans to have continued success. I can't recommend MightyMerchant enough, they are truly a very professional company and I have been happy with their services, I am excited about the future success of my business and happy that I have a company like MightyMerchant to take me there.
Put new life into your site
Is your site's look in need of a shot in the arm? Is there something missing that would provide some personality?
When we here at HEROweb/MightyMerchant asked these questions about our own sites, we turned to artist Ed Olson (designloftstudio.com) to create some characters that would not only give our sites "pop" but provide us with a recognizable brand presence.
Please check out the character illustration on our two websites:
http://www.mightymerchant.com
http://www.hero-web.com
After Ed created the characters, we turned to our in-house designer Kathy Smith to bring them to life on our newly designed sites. Well done Kathy!
If you're interested in taking advantage of Ed's talents or work with one of our designers to hone your message and presentation, please let us know. With the holidays coming up, some holiday- specific graphics can be a great hook for site visitors.
