IRCE Road Trip! CV3′s Amazing Race to Internet Retailer

May 17, 2013 by Marc Bigbie

Road_TripCV3 is celebrating the beginning of summer in style — road trip style. Starting on Memorial Day we’ll pack up an RV in Orlando, Florida with our trade show booth, a bunch of swag and a strong sense of adventure. Our destination? Booth #1523 at the 2013 Internet Retailer Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

On the way we plan to see America CV3 style, by stopping at as many of our merchants’ retail stores and businesses as possible. If they’re open we’ll buy some stuff, give away some swag and jump back in the RV. If they’re closed we’ll snap a photo of their sign in the moonlight and keep going.

Content is king, why aren’t you adding it to your site regularly?

November 6, 2012 by Marc Bigbie

Let me rephrase that, FRESH content is king, for many reasons. Of course the ‘bots and spiders,’ sounds like Halloween, love to see new things on your site when they come crawling, it keeps them coming back more often, and humans are the same. If either comes to visit a few times and always finds the same stale information in the same places, they’ll both slow down their visits. The spiders still tend to remember you and come back, even if it’s not as often as you like, but the humans have a tendency to forget you until the next time they need something from your site when they hopefully remember you instead of just searching again and finding a competitor.

For eCommerce sites you can always add new products, that’s new content for sure and may even make extra money if it’s something your customers like, but what if you can’t always find or create a new product to add to your site, maybe it’s time to think outside the box and become even more useful to your customers. I’m not going to use the “B” word, even though we have many customers that have WordPress sites and do great jobs filling them with posts, it’s a lot of work, has a few drawbacks, has some costs associated with it, and if not maintained and executed properly, can do more harm than good. Fortunately CommerceV3 has a cool built in feature than can make adding content to your site as easy as adding a new product.
