Posted on October 19, 2012June 6, 2017by Lisa

Saw the news that Target has already started advertising their Christmas shopping. Most people may think that was way too early (we’re not even done with Halloween or Octoberfest yet!).

However, this should be a clear sign for online business owners to get their store ready for the holiday shopping season and not wait till the last minute.

Please make sure that your store’ s SEO has been tweaked properly. If you’re unsure on how to get that done, click HERE for a reference to our SEO Wizard Green Thumbs Up article.

Pictures And Images Make a BIG Difference For Your Online Store

Posted on October 3, 2012June 6, 2017by Lisa

October is here! Halloween is just round the corner and so is Black Friday, Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. Yes, time to gear up your online store for the upcoming holiday season. Past month has been exciting with Apple launching their iPhone 5 which got everyone excited. Then there’s the never-ending saga on who’s suing who for patent infringements! Anyway, back to the main thing – Your STORE.

Other than getting your social sites all set up (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, StumbleUpon, Google+, Pinterest, etc) along with your SEO, have you ensured that your product images are of the best quality? Because you could have a terrific site with tonnes of traffic coming but if the fish ain’t biting, maybe it’s time to consider the look of your online store and product images.

Access Your Google Analytics While On The Go

Posted on June 8, 2012June 6, 2017by Lisa

Last week I mentioned about making full use of Google for your business. While it’s easy to access your Google Analytics account from our InstanteStore’s Admin panel (just link your account by clicking on the Website Statistics button), it would also require you to use either your tablet, laptop or desktop computer to do so. The Google Analytics page has not been optimized for mobile so viewing the live site format on a 4 inch screen can be a bit taxing.

Are You Making Full Use Of Google For Your Business?

Posted on May 24, 2012June 6, 2017by Lisa

Heard the news that Google’s Chrome usage finally surpassed Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser recently. Thought that it was about time. I suppose the main reason why many users are switching to Chrome is because the browser is clean cut, fast and works with all of Google’s applications across the board. Personally, I used to enjoy using IE before I came across Mozilla Firefox. Now, I prefer Chrome as it does not have all those irritating search bars and constant update request which ends up slowing everything down.

I’d heard about Pinterest for some time now but hadn’t really checked out the site until yesterday. Once I did, I immediately requested an invite! Love the pictures and images that are posted on this site as they’re a breath of fresh air compared to all the Facebook stuff that I’ve seen.
