Audrey Kerwood's Ecommerce Blog : Get A Rating System On Your Store

Tue, 6 Mar 2012 16:27:31 +0000

Nathan, I think these are good points and the distinction is important, so I'm going to leave the comments if that's okay with you. Product reviews will add content to your product pages most of the time. There are some systems where a person has to be logged in to see them, those are useless in my opinion. But the ones that show the reviews to everyone are a good thing to have on-site. This rating system is more of a trust builder than a user content builder :)

Audrey Kerwood's Ecommerce Blog : Get A Rating System On Your Store

Hey James, that is an annoying issue. But I look at it from an on-site conversion aspect more than anything else. I can share all other content centered around the store through FB - blog posts, videos, promotions, etc - so I'm okay with not be able to share actual store pages. I'm instead liking how customers come to the site and see a bunch of positive ratings and instantly trust the site and get more excited about ordering. I think whatever is more important to your business should win out in this situation. I still get more traffic from organic search than social networks, so it doesn't worry me as much.

I would go with Merchant Corner Ezra. They know ShopSite better than anyone else I\\\'ve worked with and they are great people. Talk to Kyle or Eamon Rodeck. My Canvas Art Store is built using templates they created for me.

Audrey Kerwood's Ecommerce Blog : Spam Complaints, Really?

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:37:03 +0000

I agree Scott. Seems like they almost want people leaving to send SPAM complaints. I'm not suggesting they hide that button, but why does it need to be the center of attention?

Hahaha Phuong, right? It's not possible to "accidentally" subscribe with a double opt-in list so I just don't get it. But whatever, I know I'm not a spammer and the majority of my group does too so that's good enough.

Cheers to that Pam! Lazy people be damned when they mess with our businesses. Sorry to hear you're having this issue too, it's just not cool. Love to hear how the top Unsubscribe link works for you. I'd rather not do that, but if this happens again I guess I'll have to try something. Harrumph is right.

It depends which store platform you are using. Some have it built in, with some you can by it as an add on module, and some don't offer it but you can probably have it created. It is usually referred to as One Page Checkout or something along those lines. You can see examples in my stores: www.a2armory.com and www.european-wall-tapestries.com.
