| ShopSmart brings a unique approach to doing
business online! |
| |
| Does the Internet make sense for your business?
A good question with a pretty simple answer. It makes sense to be online only
if it makes more sales, improves profit, cuts costs, simplifies operations,
increases awareness, shortens the sales cycle and/or improves customer
relationships. |
| |
| As a premier designer and developer of Internet
storefronts—see our store Awesome
Ewe, with over 18,000 products online — our strength is in developing
the backbone for doing online commerce in real time. This includes: obtaining
merchant accounts for new businesses; Internet businesses; mail order and
telephone order businesses; setting up credit card processing for real time
Internet sales; and providing the best shopping cart software for processing
your sales. |
| |
| Merchant accounts and credit card processing
|
| |
| ShopSmart Online can get your business started
with a merchant account and on your way to accepting all major credit cards
within days. For existing businesses with merchant accounts, ShopSmart can
process your online sales, and for new businesses with no accounts, the company
can provide you with both Canadian and U.S. dollar accounts. |
| |
| ShopSmart's Merchant Solutions Program makes
getting a merchant account quick and easy. Why is it better than all the rest?
ShopSmart maintains a premier relationship with a variety of financial
institutions (both Canadian and American), ensuring that you receive a merchant
account plan that best fits your business needs and situation. |
| |
| Web sites designed to handle every e-commerce
need |
| |
| Up until now, e-commerce software has been
fashioned after the warehouse store. Product stacked to the ceiling (huge
databases, showing the product 50 deep) with little opportunity to develop a
relationship with the client (let alone get their name, address, phone number
and e-mail address). |
| |
| ShopSmart web sites are fashioned after
traditional stores (elaborate displays and better product presentation). They
incorporate the approach of a direct marketer to developing a relationship with
the client (a catalogue, toll- free assistance, Click4Help, Web2Call, contests,
direct mail and e-mail newsletters). And finally, the checkout is the same as a
real store — tally the products and process the credit card, quickly,
easily and securely. |
| |
| Building better customer relationships through
communication |
| |
| E-mail is revolutionizing the way we communicate
today. Anyone can turn a home or office computer into a list server, delivering
thousands of individually addressed e-mails every hour. For volume, speed,
reliability, and cost, e-mail has become the obvious choice for one-on-one,
customized marketing and customer service.
E-mail Newsletters have become
the most strategic tool for driving web site traffic, facilitating
transactions, attracting new customers and retaining existing clients. |
| |
| ShopSmart provides seven services that improve
customer response: |
| |
| Toll-free Numbers with no contracts, set-up or
monthly fees; |
Long-distance Services with the lowest
anytime/anywhere
rates in Canada; |
Click4Help allows site visitors to
instantaneously communicate
with you using text chat or voice over Internet; |
Push Pages to visitors' browsers instantly send
users to the page
with the information they are looking for; |
Web2Call initiates a call from the user's PC,
over the Internet,
ending up as a phone call to you; |
With Fax2Email you have a private personal fax
number where
faxes are forwarded to your e-mail. |
E-mail Newsletters have become the most
strategic tool for
driving web site
traffic, facilitating transactions, attracting new
customers and
retaining existing clients. List Manager is truly
a remarkable
product suite that will fully automate the process. |

| |
| ShopSmart has developed a mail order/e-commerce
suite that has all the bells and whistles found at
Victoria's Secret,
Lands End,
L.L. Bean, Gap, Sears,
Macy's and
J.C. Penny. This suite equals the big
players in terms of quality and ease of use, but it is differentiated by the
fact that it is economical to deploy and scalable for anything from a
one-person operation to a 100-person operation. |
| |
| ShopSmart can design your total e-commerce
solution or work with you or your web designer to add the shopping cart,
merchant services, credit card processing and communications suite to your
existing web site. |
