    WSM presentation at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week

    Presentation at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week in Las Vegas

    As part of the Aftermarket Briefings, I rolled out a 2017 Roadmap to eCommerce Success, how to get started, building on what’s working well, participating in niche and local eCommerce, and building a successful eCatalog. 

    Watch the full video here.

    Here are four takeaways:

      • Find your sweet spot or niche then nurture your ideal customers
      • Products are commodities, you must provide real value
      • Solve pre-purchase problems to build high converting brand loyalty
      • Build an army of loyal customers that trust your brand, maximize lifetime value

    April 2017 New eCommerce Website Release – Royalty Core

    Royalty Core came to us for an overhaul of a 6 year old site and to increase online revenue. Currently 50% of sales come from online and it is not responsive. They retained us for the data work and design capabilities as well as the YMM functionality. We launched their site 110 days from signing.

    Product Enhancements

     

    Payflow TLS 1.2 Endpoint Ppgrade

    Security and safety are top priorities for PayPal, but being a good partner to you is equally important. We announced last year our plans to strengthen our Payflow integration as part of a broader infrastructure security initiative. We’re now sharing more details with you.

    In preparation for the upgrade, you’ll be able to test your integration in the Payflow Pilot environment after February 15, 2017. We strongly encourage you to adjust your configuration and test your integration prior to the Payflow Production upgrade currently scheduled starting after June 30, 2017.
