What’s your biggest challenge in Marketing?

Happy New Year, SPO Users!

Happy New Year, SPO users! I wish all of you’ll have good lucks in 2018.

Thanks for staying with us for the year. We appreciate your opinion whether it’s negative and positive. When there are new support emails coming to my mailbox, I always feel happy because it means our users really care about SPO and we can do better to fix their problems.

Personally, I would like to thank for your support as the Customer Success Officer in 2017 (as you saw in our notification email).

In the coming year, we’re planning what features will help our store owners to get more values from SPO. If we can do a little bit better, our store owners can be beneficial to the little changes we made.

The Findings:

From our user research, we found that:

  1. Store owners care about social sharing of products or the store’s home page
  2. Store owners want to look good when visitors share their online store
  3. Store owners want visitors to generate referral traffics via social sharing.

If you find other issues more critical, please let us know by filling in the form at the bottom.

What’s next?

Currently, we are researching how we can help our store owners in SEO and Social Media Marketing. Most SPO users want more sales and more traffic.

But I would say that there is NO silver bullet.

There is no app that you can install and Boom!… more sales coming in.

What we aim is not making a silver bullet. Instead, we strive to make a painkiller to solve your hair-burning problem. Finally, it can help you to save time and increase efficiency. And you’ll be happy to pay for the solution at a reasonable cost.

New Feature Update v1.3: Create an interactive marketing Campaign in 3 minutes. Simple. Sharable. Effective

We know that many store owners are doing various promotional campaigns to turn shoppers into buyers. Today we would like to introduce a whole new marketing tactic in SPO.

The Interactive Game Campaign – The World First Gamification Marketing for E-commerce

What does Gamification mean?

Gamification has been very useful in asking users to do small tasks with game mechanism. Levels, achievements, leader board, play with friends and numerous ways are proven to be effective to get user moving. What’s better than giving them fun while they are shopping in your stores?

Think about the free coupons offered by most online stores, you are just one of them. If everyone is offering free coupons, unfortunately these coupons will be very likely to be ignored by shoppers.

So we are inventing a new interactive marketing campaign to engage visitors with game. Instead of pushing them to redeem your offer, make them earn your offer. Play hard, buy hard.

You can check our demo here: Memory Dots Demo

How it works?

Memory-dots - the first game marketing campaign we created
Memory-dots – the first game marketing campaign we created

Very simple. Few steps ahead:

  1. Now you will see in a Campaign tab in SPO. Just click on it and click Create Campaign to set up a new campaign
  2. Fill in the campaign info and upload the campaign image.
  3. Choose to set up a sales campaign or game marketing campaign. Just choose Memory Dots now. Alternatively you can choose Weekend Sales to create a flash sales page in few minutes.
  4. Fill in the coupon details
  5. Congrats! You’ve finished. Launch the campaign. You can share the link to social media or simply email it to your customers.

What should you expect?

  1. A new way to boost your coupon redemption
  2. A new way to collect email before users leave
  3. Get your campaign shared if users find it interesting
  4. Give us your honest feedback – we are offering our new features to our lovely SPO users. We are committed to grow your business together with us. If we don’t understand your needs, it’s hard to know where’s required for improvement.

And more are coming!

We’re waiting for you!

Announcing New Service, Review Your Store With Conversion Report

Since the beginning of developing SPO, we discovered that many users were having a very common problem,

No Sales:no_sales

Many store owners simply didn’t know what to do when their stores couldn’t get any sales. We discovered the problem had been happening on different platforms or forums like Shopify, Reddit, Quora or other ecommerce platforms. The problem has been repeated and repeated again.

New Features Update for v1.1: Home Page Support and Simplified Liquid Code Installation

Thanks for your support of SPO. Since releasing in Mid Dec, more than 110 Shopify stores have been trying SPO to enhance SEO and Social Performance.

We have launched Terminal App to help store owners quickly share their stores on Facebook, if they just wanna have a quick share instead of playing with liquid code.

Here are some latest features update or enhancement:

  • Enhancement:
    • Auto copy of updated product title to meta title and URL handle
    • Auto copy of updated meta title, description to Facebook Share and Twitter Cards
    • Default title, description & image of all pages are set for Facebook Share and Twitter Cards in your shop, except those product pages that you have customized. You can update it in the setting page.
  • Fixed:
    • Product listing page cannot show all store products
    • Product search cannot fetch all products

 

Action Required

To adopt the latest features, please update your liquid code immediately. We have simplified the process since many store owners reflected they had difficulties in adding liquid code snippet on their own.

  1. Refer to the previous tutorial to remove the old codes on your ‘social-meta-tags.liquid’.
  2. Refer to the new tutorial‘s step 5-7 to configure your theme again, which is much easier now.

If you are having difficulty in changing liquid code, please contact us at [email protected]

Have an opinion?

Please drop us a note via [email protected]. Let us know which function you think it’s useful for you!

Have a good business in 2017!

** Update on 20/1/2017 **

At the meantime we have switched our free trial plan to paid plan of $15.99 per month on 13/1/2017 (Friday). Some users may find the charge in a sudden. However we need to make a basic charge in order to continue improving the App and our service.

We would like to thank for your support during the beta test stage.
