Add content easily
It's a simple matter to add pages to your shop containing information in addition to product details. For example, if you want to talk about the company's history, working partners, quality control, etc.
You can also write articles that are related to products. For example, if you have a wine shop you might want to write about the Bordeaux region. With a couple of clicks you can conclude it by linking in some relevant wines. These will then be automatically displayed (image, price, etc.) from your product catalogue.
Measure the impact of your advertising
Let's say you have just spent 200 dollars advertising your web shop? Did it generate extra traffic, or even better, increased sales? OpenBizBox lets you see the effects of your Internet advertising, for example, from your Google advertisements or your latest newsletter.
Easy to update products
This module makes it easy to enter new products, descriptions, prices, inventory statuses, etc., from an existing product list - for example, from an accounting package or spreadsheet.
The module can also be used to keep inventory statuses and prices up to date and to export product information from the web shop, for import into an accounting package or spreadsheet.
Special prices for selected customers
For example, if you sell to both wholesale and retail customers, or if you want regular customers to be offered certain products at a special price - this can be accommodated.
You can create an unlimited number of price groups.
Gets customers into your online store
One of the most effective ways to gain new customers on the Internet is via the search engines.
However, very few online stores can be read by search engines. We have studied how search engines operate, and made it possible for them to register the products in web shops based on OpenBizBox.
The result is that many of our customers experience a big increase in sales.
Your own design
A unique design gives your online store a stronger profile and makes your store look more professional than your competitors'.
With OpenBizBox for your online store you are free to have any design you want. You can easily insert your logo and change the colors. If you want more radical changes you can just contact us or a web designer.
