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.

August 11, 2012 by Blake Ellis

For some ecommerce companies, the impending holiday season can feel more like a foreign invasion than a golden sales opportunity.

Between the frantic buyers, the fear of site crashes and the incessant call for free shipping (not to mention the threat of blizzards and ice storms), even the most committed seasonal seller might be tempted to stay in bed and pull up the covers.

But just a few timely tips can help turn this year’s holiday push into a long, delightful sleigh ride (or at least a short, exciting trip on a Flexible Flyer)…

The 2012 Multichannel Merchant Awards are Afoot!

August 2, 2012 by KWOxnard
This year’s MCM Awards are underway, and we encourage all of you to apply.
The awards focus on a case study of a particular cross-channel (catalog, email, social media, sweepstakes/giveaways, etc.) campaign that you undertook this past year–e.g. which channels you used, how effective they were and especially, how they helped your sales. As you get ready for the holiday selling season, we know your plate is pretty full right now.  But awards like this can be extremely helpful for many reasons.
First, you get noticed by the editors of Multichannel Merchant, the premier online and print publication for eCommerce retailers just like you. Second, it’s a great opportunity for you to take stock of your online marketing efforts to see what’s working (and what’s not).  Third, if you win, or even if you come close, the free publicity you’ll receive would be priceless–literally!  Free media is where it’s at when it comes to PR, so it can’t hurt to send in an entry.
If you need any help from us crafting your application, please let us know.  And of course, if you’d like to mention how CommerceV3 and CV3 Timberline are enhancing your multichannel approach, that would be lovely! Here’s what MCM vis a vis regarding your application: “Your entry should be a case study (PDF preferred) that documents what steps you took to make your campaign cross-channel. It does not need to include revenues generated as a result of the campaign, but should let the MCM Awards judges know what the goal of the campaign was, and how multiple channels were used in conjunction to successfully reach that goal.”Here are the categories in which you can enter:

The MCM Awards 2012 will be broken down into 6 new categories, allowing for Gold, Silver and Bronze winners:
  • B-to-C Smaller-Size Company (with an annual revenue range of $0 to $10 million

  • B-to-C Mid-Size Company (with an annual revenue of $10 million to $75 million)

  • B-to-C Large-Size Company (with an annual revenue of $70 million or above)

  • B-to-B Smaller-Size Company (with an annual revenue range of $0 to $10 million)

  • B-to-B Mid-Size Company (with an annual revenue of $10 million to $75 million)

  • B-to-B Large-Size Company (with an annual revenue of $75 million or above)
