New Video Training Center

Just a quick note: We’ve upgraded our Video Training Center and it’s pretty nifty! All our videos are now hosted through YouTube so you can view them on any device. We’ve also added new searching and filtering features so you can find the topic you want quickly. 

The new video center also includes an index if you prefer to view your videos in a big list. Check it out the next time you need to brush up on your company store skills!

Loyalty Marketing with Reorder Reminders now available

Re-order reminders. Followup emails. Surveys. Stay in touch with your customers and create repeat business with our new Loyalty Marketing feature:

Loyalty marketing email (re-order reminder)

Loyalty marketing emails allow you to schedule a sequence of automated emails after an important event (either registration or placing an order). Some examples of loyalty marketing emails:

1. Asking a customer for feedback or a review after they’ve received an order.
2. Reminding a customer that it’s time to re-order – even six months or a year after the order
3. Following up with a user after initial registration to see if they need help with product selection.

Loyalty marketing is easy to use; just pick the trigger (order or registration); the delay (hours or days); and create your message. You can even show the customer what they ordered the first time!

Loyalty marketing management screen

Loyalty marketing is available in your store today – just look for Loyalty Marketing in your dashboard menu. Need help setting up a campaign? Just drop us a line and we’ll be happy to help!

Order Snapshot and Approval Thresholds

We’ll keep this one brief: We’ve just added a groovy order overview to your dashboard when you log in to manage your company store. Whether your store is high-volume or just gets a few orders per week, we think you’ll love this feature.

storeBlox CS Order Snapshot dashboard The new Order Snapshot shows you the ten most recent orders in your store. Now you don’t need to dig into Order Management to get a quick overview of your most recent orders. You can see order amounts, names and emails at a glance.

If you’re ready to take action on an order, just click “Go to Order Management” and you’ll be taken directly to manage your orders.

Approval Threshold

Also live this week in your store is a new approval feature: Approval Threshold. storeBlox CS has always had some of the most powerful order approval and routing features in the industry, including the ability to route individuals or groups to specific approvers and even trigger approvals by payment methods.

Approval Threshold expands on this by enabling you to set a dollar value to require approval. Anything below the threshold will be processed as normal, but orders that exceed the threshold will be routed to an approver. That way small purchases can proceed without approval delay, but big orders will be routed for review.

You can set different threshold amounts for different payment methods (other than credit cards, which never require approval). Approval Threshold is live in your store today in the Payments tab.
