Gift Certificate and Coupon Programs V. 4.0 (ASP & Cold Fusion)

Have you ever wished you could promote your online store like the brick and mortar stores do with the types of promotional coupons found in newspapers. Well now you can! We have modeled our new expanded Gift Certificate and Coupon Program after offline coupon programs. This new Program lets you:

a. Set up coupons that require the purchase of a certain number of items from specified categories, groups or products before the customer is eligible for the discount and set the products eligible for the benefits of the coupon by categories, groups or products.
b. Set a discount on (i) every second item in the basket, (ii) the second item of every pair in the basket, or (iii) the highest priced item in the basket.
c. Set up volume discount coupons that provide a scale of discounts dependent upon the amount purchased.
d. Set free shipping based on either the purchase of the required items or without restriction

 Store Affiliates Module

Would you like the ability to market to different groups of consumers using multiple stores but with the ease and cost of maintaining only one store? Well we have the answer! Our Store Affiliates Module provides you with the ability to:
a) Set up multiple web sites within one store with each store maintaining its own domain name and look and feel by utilizing customized headers and footers to distinctly brand each site thereby allowing you to reach different markets.
b) Set up stores using one shared product database which gives you the ability to update all the stores by adding, updating and/or deleting products one time!
c) Update or add functionality to one store and have it automatically shared with all the stores.

You can do all of this while maintaining a different pricing structure for each site! Just think about the possibilities, a music site for example can create individual stores for an artist or genre of music all while sharing the functionality and fulfillment system of the main site.

See an example of the software being used on Spill911.com. The same database is being for both Spill911.com, Stormwater911.com, and Janitorial911.com

My Account Module

 

 

Customer service is key in the retail world! Would you like to be able to provide to your customers the personal service they are looking for? Well now you can with our “My Account” Module.
The “My Account” Module provides you and your customers with the ability to easily keep track of their account information, tracking information and order history. Customers are assigned and automatically sent via e-mail, upon registration or checkout, their own unique usernames and passwords. Using our “My Account” Module the customer is then able to:
 
a) Retrieve and update all of his/her personal information including address, telephone, e-mail, username and password.
b) Track his/her orders (the system will also incorporate the Federal Express and UPS tracking systems).
c) View a history of everything he/she ever ordered from the site.
  This system also includes a Lost Password Page to help customers retrieve his/her forgotten password.
For an example of the “My Account” System log in to http://www.spill911.com http://www.spill911.com using username: demo and password: demo.

Wish List Module

  Repeat customers are your best source of income. How would you like a program that brings customers back to your site as well as directing new visitors to your site - all without additional advertising costs? Well now you can with our Wish List/Shopping List System.
   
  Wish List
 

Our Wish List system allows visitors to be able to immediately create Wish Lists upon arriving at the Site by associating their wish list with their own e-mail address and password. Customers can then send an e-mail to their friends and family with a url back to the site so they can view the customer’s wish list. Customers can designate their wish list as private thereby preventing others from seeing it. Whenever anyone views the list it will provide a page from which the products will be easily purchased. Only the customer will be able to edit his/her wish list by logging in using his/her username and password.

 

See an example of the software being used on Cartoys.com. Registered users have the ability to send their list to any recipient by email.

   
  Shopping List
 

The Shopping List feature allows customers to create and store multiple shopping lists and easily edit these lists at any time. The customer can purchase individual items from the list or by simply clicking one button purchase all the items on the list. Each list can also be set up with Purchase Reminders allowing the customer to be notified via e-mail when it is time to reorder. These Purchase Reminders can be set at a frequency of the customer’s choosing.

To see a demonstration of the Shopping List feature go to http://www.spill911.com, enter the “My Account” Section using username: demo and password: demo and click on “Administer Shopping Lists”.

   
 

Email Blast Program

 

Our E-mail Blast Program gives you the ability to market your site through newsletters sent via e-mail. As with all the programs we have created, our new E-mail Blast program provides you with features that have quickly become industry “standards”. However, as with all the programs we create, this one has an Edge!

Standard Features: The E-mail Blast Program allows you to create newsletter subjects to be presented to visitors to the site who will then be invited to sign up to receive the newsletters. When a visitor signs up for the newsletter, he/she will be added to the database and registered to receive that newsletter. Using a wysiwyg editor in the administration menu you will be able to compose a newsletter and send it to all subscribers at one time. The system also allows visitors to unsubscribe.

The Edge!: The E-mail Blast Program also allows you to send e-mails to any customer who ever purchased an item from the store. You can choose to send a newsletter to either the visitors who have signed up to receive newsletters, to customers who have purchased items from the store or to both. And these are not your only choices! When you choose to send a newsletter to previous customers you can customize the list of customers to send to using the following choices:

 
a) Categories of items previously purchased;
b) Time frame of last purchase;
c) Specific product previously purchased;
d) State of Customers;
e) Zip Code or even within a radius of Zip Code or customers;
  You can also test the list and set a date and time for the newsletter to be sent.

Html Page Generator

 

Our customers were having a difficult time trying to market their sites on search engines. Most database driven sites are not easily picked up by search engines. We have created the solution! Our HTML Generator lets you easily create a static website using data read from your AbleCommerce database. The “product pages” include “Buy” buttons linking the static page directly to the AbleCommerce Store.The application allows you to select categories or product groups and then consequently export static "product pages" for submission to a search engine. These pages are linked to each together to facilitate spidering by search engines. Anytime products are updated you can re-export these pages to the site without manually having to update each page.

If you are interested in demonstration of the application please contact Foresite for more information.

 

 Multi-Language Module

 

Would you like to be able to expand your customer base to include the world? Well now you can! We have recently developed a Multi-Language Module that allows a single AbleCommerce store to operate in multiple languages!

Our Multi-Language Module allows a single AbleCommerce store to operate in multiple languages. The Module includes password protected menus where translators are able to translate all text within the site, including product information, static text and web page information, into whichever languages you choose. The languages may include Unicode language sets such as Chinese and Japanese as well as Western European language sets such as English, Spanish, Russian, Greek, etc. Visitors coming to the site are able to select from a drop down menu which language they wish to view the site in. The entire site is then displayed in the selected language! For an example of a site using our Language Module see WesternWarehouse.com where they already have the site operating in English, Japanese and Spanish.
