Plan, Measure, and Improve Your WebsiteThe tools in StoresOnline’s Research Suite are designed to provide you with the knowledge, research, and analysis needed to successfully position your website for results. Most businesses that fail to do the preparation and analysis to position themselves properly will not have strong results. It is critical to have the right analysis and keyword planning tools to help you differentiate your business from others: Reverse Search Engine — Do you know how many times Internet users search for your products on leading search engines? Do you know the keywords they use to search? Using our StoresOnline research suite, you’ll garner the specific information required to make smart decisions as you gather and prepare your Internet strategy. Keyword CloudTM — You know how your website looks to you, but how does it look to search engines? Build your website for success, so it will achieve optimal search engine rankings. This tool helps you improve your search engine standings. Keyword Analysis — Analyze any website page for keyword density and placement. Learn to optimize your keywords in the body, titles, and meta-tags. Wonder why some pages are not working as well as others? You need to be able to measure your results to determine where to make improvements. Keyword Comparative Tool — How does your website stack up to your competition? How many times do the leading sellers of your products use their target keyword in their websites? This reconnaissance tool is invaluable in helping you determine what keyword will win the battle of the search engines. Integrated Drop-shipping — Want to drop-ship someone else’s product exclusively, or along with your other products? No problem. StoresOnline Pro is seamlessly integrated with many leading industry drop-shippers. Build Your Online ImageThe tools in StoresOnline’s Design Suite help you build a website, whether this is your first, or you have a proven track record of online success. The tools in StoresOnline’s Design Suite include:
Malleable Templates™ — StoresOnline Pro allows you to drag and drop the major design elements within your storefront. Don’t like where the navigation bar is located? Simply grab it and drag it to its new location. Don’t like the standardized colors in your template? Customize them to your satisfaction. Change fonts, locations, styles, stylesheets, CSS, and even include HTML (optional) for further personalization of your website. With StoresOnline Pro, your only design limitation is your own imagination. StoresOnline Image Server — We didn’t know what this was either, until our engineers showed us how it works. With the image server, you don’t have to fuss over cropping and adjusting images using photo or graphics programs. Just upload your images to your website. The StoresOnline Image Server will take it from there, optimizing each image for quick Internet usage and cropping it to fit where you want it. When you have 100 products, it’s a big time saver! Quick Product Upload — You can build each of your product pages, one at a time, inside StoresOnline, importing each piece of information (price, description, graphic, etc.) one at a time. Or, if you have several products or even several hundred, you can import them all at once from Microsoft Excel™ or any other spreadsheet program. Integrated Data Feeds — Do you want your website to integrate with eBay, Quicken, or any number of RSS feeds? Just a few clicks and you are ready to go in StoresOnline Pro. If you use the integrated drop-shippers with StoresOnline Pro, you can even tie products and inventory management into your website. Built-in Forum and Blogs — Forums and blogs are Web 2.0 must-haves because they are the latest way to improve your website’s relevance in the search rankings. As you and your users post new content through your StoresOnline blog or forum, your search engine ranking will increase, gaining you more visitors. Publish– Web Presence with a Professional Customer ExperienceLeverage extensive shopping cart features, access levels, and publishing management tools. It can be as easy as click and go, but if you require a complete shopping experience, we are here to support robust e-commerce. Our publishing suite includes top-shelf features for the entrepreneur or small business who wants to project a larger company presence: CUSTOMER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Product variations — Do you have products with variations in color, size, styles, etc.? Simple order forms force you to create individual products for each option so a shirt that is available in 3 colors and 5 sizes would require you to generate 15 separate product pages. StoresOnline Pro allows you to add variations to your products with ease. Save time and effort. Subscription/Registration — What if your product includes a newsletter or some other communication that requires your users to register? StoresOnline Pro has you covered. Gather, manage, and maintain your customer information with our built-in registration and subscription support. Multiple Tax Support — Tax ramifications of Internet commerce are still evolving. You have to collect taxes on sales made to customers who buy from within your own state. What if your state is one that has different tax rates for each county? The tax collection for these customers can be overwhelming, but StoresOnline Pro’s sophisticated rules-based tax capabilities allow you to create as complex (or simple) a tax collection structure for your online sales as needed. Multi-Discount Support — Our StoresOnline Pro supports volume discounting, suggestive selling (for add-on options), integration to UPS shipping, digital coupons, and more. Access Levels — What if you want to provide a reseller or a drop-shipper access to your site, but you wish to limit their capabilities? We’ve got you covered. StoresOnline enables you to adjust the information available to each specific user so if you have some of your products in your warehouse, but have drop-shipping arrangements with two other companies, the correct supplier can be notified via email whenever a product is ordered. You can also use StoresOnline’s multiple price set functions to show reseller prices to those with a special access code, while the general public maintains access to MSRP pricing. Publish Support — Publishing is easy! StoresOnline Pro wants you to stay on your feet, so even while you have a site posted, you can be working on the next version of your storefront behind the scenes, while your previous version is still processing customer orders. You don’t have to publish your new version until you are ready. One click, and your new site replaces the older one, but let’s say you want to go back to an older version, then, StoresOnline keeps a record of your last three versions of your website. Make a simple call to customer service. Web 2.0 Requires Interactive Web MarketingMARKETING
