March Newsletter 2010

The first quarter of 2010 is nearly over. BrightStores continues to move forward with better features, better functionality and an all around better Company Store experience for all users. Our team has been working hard to upgrade our platform with advanced functionality and flexibility to our already robust system. So far this year, we have been concentrating on our BundleBuy technology as well as product customization options. Keep your eyes open for future exciting system additions as well!

We had a wildly successful Webinar series last month that covered many aspects of our new BundleBuy technology. We went over the basics of BundleBuy and how it's used. This included relevant case studies and examples to offer a visual display of BundleBuy in action. We also covered how to successfully market BundleBuy. Distributors signed up in record numbers to learn all about how this revolutionary new tool can increase revenue and streamline ordering. If you missed out on this informative educational series, don't worry, we recorded the webinars for you!

Custom Product Options/Queries

You may now set up customizable fields and queries at the product level. This new Expert Store feature will allow you to set up an unlimited number of fields or queries for products.  Use it to gather user replies via drop down menu options or text replies. Set it up to gather detailed color options for a pen, such as barrel color, cap color, etc. or set up fields to gather business card data where users may enter name, address, phone number, etc. The possibilities are many, and that's because we've built this new feature to be flexible, so you may use it to gather the exact information that you need for a product.

Product Page Logo Display

Does your store offer Logos Choice for users? If so, you may now configure the store to display the selected logo. So, when a user selects a logo from their drop down choices, that specific logo image will show up under logo choice, on the product page. This Expert Store feature is one more method that you can use to offer customers the ability to clearly see what they are ordering. Turn this feature on in the Store Edit tab, at the bottom of Expert features.

More Advanced Expert Store updates...

To make building and managing your store easier, you may now upload Group information. Group names, ID's, discounts and address book data may be easily uploaded into the Company Store Manager. Also, Extended Custom Data fields may be set up at the group level. You may use the data from these fields as the Custom Product Options. So, if you want to offer a specific group of users product options that are not available to everyone, you can!
