Making your online store more profitable

Tracking_Customers_2.jpg

A message from our CEO, Steve Moen

Where are your customers headed?

Keeping pace with customers on their path to purchase requires some advanced navigation skills. What was once a straight line is now a windy road with pitstops at brick-and-mortar locations, social media sites, online stores and mobile apps. The secret to staying on their trail, however, is in understanding them even better than before. Fortunately, new and improving technology is emerging everyday to help make that possible.

A message from our CEO, Steve Moen

Don't delay! Act fast! Time is running out!

Phrases like these all take advantage of the same convention: humans are three times more concerned to lose out on something than to gain something. Referred to as loss aversion, smart marketers take advantage of it all the time. But those aren't the only human quirks that marketers make the most of.

Leveraging the rule of reciprocity

The rule of reciprocity describes a human response to a positive action as one that is equally positive. For marketers, it can come in the form of a free sample or eBook.

The psychology behind free shipping

When shoppers hear the word free, their ears perk up a bit. And believe it or not, their wallets are often prone to open up a little bit more, too.

Making your online store more profitable

A message from our CEO, Steve Moen

With so many disparate definitions, does the cloud really have a silver lining?

When you Google “the cloud,” more than 1 billion results are revealed. When you ask a group of individuals what the cloud means to them, their answers might be just as varied. For some, the term is nothing more than a catch-all phrase created by marketers trying to generalize any IT activities that aren’t hosted in-house. The cloud can also be as simple as a metaphor for the Internet or any host of platforms that don’t depend on any physicality. For others, it's just a way to stay buzz-word compliant.

No matter how you refer to it, the cloud is being implemented in various ways to reduce operational costs associated with in-house servers and the personnel required to manage them. For this newsletter, we’re focusing our cloud conversations around subscription-based services like SaaS or IaaS, which can be leveraged to extend the capabilities of an IT team.

New_Year_Celebration.jpg

A message from our CEO, Steve Moen

That's a wrap, folks!

With 2013 at our backs, we look to the New Year to bring us new opportunities to grow our businesses. By taking what we've learned over the course of the past 12 months, we can better tackle what's ahead. Taking the idea of lessons learned into current context, it's interesting to think that what was once considered "reflecting on the past to improve the future" can now be thought of as analytics-based decision making.


Analytics for eCommerce marketers

Retailers that use analytics create a competitive advantage for their organizations. From improving the customer experience to increasing employee collaboration, mining big data produces big results.

A message from our CEO, Steve Moen

Mobile by the millions

If we've heard it once, we've heard it a thousand times: mobile's momentum isn't about to slow down. Or is it? Despite reports citing the ongoing uptick in smartphone adoption, market saturation is inevitable. Some firms are forecasting that saturation in the United States could come as early as November 2015.

The mobile story to follow, therefore, is that smartphone prevalence in daily lives is just now getting interesting. Furthermore, tablet adoption is on the rise. As of June 2013, there were 69 million U.S. users powering up their Apple iPads, Galaxy Tabs and Microsoft Surfaces, leaving a large percentage of the population still anxious to get on the tablet bandwagon.
