Webloyalty Program Builds Customer Loyalty

Later this week, we will launch a program with Webloyalty designed to keep customers coming back to your store. Webloyalty.com, Inc. (http://www.webloyalty.com) provides turnkey affinity marketing programs on the Internet. Their direct marketing and customer loyalty services can improve purchase and transaction rates and generate new revenue streams.

Here's how this program works:

Immediately after checkout, Webloyalty will offer your customer a free trial of one of their money-saving membership programs, such as travel discounts and protection, shopping protection, or home computer protection. In addition, they will give your customer two $10 rebates on future purchases from your store -- a powerful incentive to come back and shop with you again and again!

Best of all, this program requires no work on your part and there is no cost to you.

Store Building Tip:
HTML for the Caption Field

Use HTML to liven up your item and section pages. Even simple tags like <i>italic</i> or <b>bold</b> add interest and catch a shopper's attention. Complex tags like <TABLE> can help you control layout in the caption area of your pages.

Warning: Because of the way Store templates are coded you must remember not to leave blank lines between text and HTML. Insert all lines one after another with no breaks or Store's page-building function will not work properly.

If you use <TABLE>, <TR>, and <TD> tags, don't forget the closing tags: </TABLE>, </TR>, and </TD>. Some older browsers will not display your page if you forget to close all these tags!

Reminder: The caption field supports limited HTML only. Do not include a full page of HTML in this field. Tags such as <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE>, and <BODY> can break certain elements of your store. Metatags should not be included in the caption -- use the "Keywords" field in Variables for metatags.

E-Commerce Set for Strong 2002 Holidays

It's September, and like retailers everywhere, you're already planning for the holidays. The good news, according to separate reports from Nielsen/NetRatings and Forrester Research cited in E-Commerce Times, is that e-commerce will continue to grow. Forrester predicts a steady 25% rate, "as online shoppers search for bargains in a languishing economy." The report from Nielsen predicts a holiday season that might remind you of 2001 -- with plenty of price-conscious shoppers.
