Around the Workstand

Happy Tuesday!

• Look out for our email about some exciting news coming soon!
• We talk a lot about marketing, good content, etc but there are suggested steps that make a difference so let’s look at those so we don’t inadvertently encourage you to get ahead of yourself.
  • Commerce-enabled website in place and dialed
  • Website actively managed - updated regularly, information helpful to your customers
    • This is when the content we so often speak of first comes in
  • Help your customers shop the way they want for the products they care about
  • Stay top of mind for your customers - automated email campaigns based on purchases
  • Market to your existing customers - promotional email marketing campaigns
  • Take advantage of free shopping functionality from Google
  • Allocate monthly budget for paid ads
• NBDA webinar encouraging retailers to use ecommerce and technology - Specialty Bicycle Retail Study Webinar
  • Statement from a presenter, "See your website as another salesperson, makes the cost seem much more affordable. Part of your sales force. Website needs to be as current and up-to-date as your salespeople. What do you need to move? What's new? What is most profitable?"
• Tech Tip: Payment Methods - more is better for consumers
  • WePay, PayPal, and Klarna work well together
