The latest Keyword rankings for our site is out from DzineSEO and we now know why we are getting a higher volume of traffic. In the last few months we have aimed at getting to the front page on a number of keywords and the latest DzineSEO report shows that we are there. There are a few keywords where we have made the jump and we have come up out of the blue on a number of other keywords.

Facebook Like and Tweet Button – Email Marketing

January 12th, 2011 No comments

Social Media Integrated with Email Marketing

We are now integrating the Facebook Like button and Twitter Tweet button on all of our and our clients email campaigns.  This makes it much easier to share your email campaign on Twitter and Facebook. Here is how the report works:

email-marketing-social-media

Allow your user to share your email to Facebook and Twitter

You can use the existing platform and use the quick links button to drop your Tweet and Facebook Like buttons anywhere on your email. This way your email subscribers can click on these links and share your email on Facebook or tweet about your email campaign.

Share your email on Facebook / Twitter

The next thing you can do is click on the share button from your control panel. This will bring up a popup that allows you to share your email marketing campaign on Twitter, or Facebook.  This way you are leveraging your email subscribers, Facebook fans and your twitter followers.

Email Social Sharing Report

And finally you get the report that shows how your email subscribers have shared your emails. The report gives you the total number of tweets and Facebook Likes for the campaign. Then underneath it, you can view all the users who liked/tweeted about your emails.

Drupal 7 Thoughts – Example Site

January 8th, 2011 No comments

Drupal – the open source content management solution that powers roughly 1% of all the sites on the internet has just gone live with its new major release Drupal 7.  We just did a test run of the site. Here are some of the things that we noticed:

Drupal 7 Installation

The installation was a breeze and is comparable to the famous WordPress Installation now. We had no issues with the installation and everything looked great.

Drupal 7 Admin Panel

The admin panel is very easy to navigate and is clear on how to add content (as a page or an article) on the website. The rest of the page is also very well structured. You can set up blocks from directly within Drupal which gives you more flexibility on how you want your site to look.

Drupal 7 Themes

Adding and activating themes was very easy. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of settings to change on the themes currently but with time it should improve. For our example site, we have used the Danland Theme pictured below.

We have set up an example Drupal 7 website so that you can play around with the front end.

New templates in the Email Templates Gallery

This will also mean that there will be new templates in the email templates gallery. If you haven’t had a look at the email templates gallery, please view it under portfolio. We have also got some templates that our staff built for BMW for their email marketing so we will be adding them to the gallery soon.

DIY Online Store – V2 feature list – coming soon

January 7th, 2011 No comments

DzineStore - DIY Shopping Cart - DIY Online Store

It is exciting times at dzineLabs, we are about to launch Version 2 of dzineStore. The DIY Store that allows you to have your store up and ready in minutes and start accepting orders.

If you do not know what features we have already, please view this post:
DIY Online Store – DzineStore – Updates

Here is the summary of new features coming out

 

Multiple Images for your products

One feature that all of our clients wanted was multiple images against products. With the new release, you will be able to add new images to your product and have multiple images of the product. You can also choose your featured product and have the other images show up next to your main product.

 

View and Manage your Orders through the Control Panel

Previously you would have to check your email to see what had been ordered. We have now made it easier for you by allowing you to see your orders via your control panel. Not only can you see your orders, you can mark if they have been shipped or not.

 

User Email Address

We are now allowing you ask for a customers email address before they start the checkout process.

 

Better Online Store Themes and Store Customisation

We will be allowing you to use more themes and customise the look and feel of your online store even more.  With the introduction of themes, you can not only give the store your look and feel but you can then tweak that theme to fit your exact needs.

 

Email Marketing Options

The store already has integration with Campaign Monitor but now you will be able to also send out quick updates to your customers using the Control Panel.

 

Better Social Media – Online Store integrations

We will be integrating Facebook and Twitter even more in the new iteration of the store allowing your customers to tell their friends how good your product is and how happy they are to buy it.

 

Facebook Fan Page Integration

We will be integrating the like box for your Facebook Fan Page. So that your customers who might not be ready to buy from you straight away can like your store and then come back at a later stage or when you send them updates via Facebook.

 

YouTube Video Integration

We all know how video helps you sell more, but we rarely put this to practice. Well you won’t have an excuse anymore once we have integrated YouTube videos with your products.

 

Release Dates and Pricing

The expected release date for the new version is mid February. Please subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of this new release. Of course if you sign up with the existing version of dzineStore, you will be automatically upgraded to the new version when it is out.

The pricing is the same  $1000 AUD + GST to set up plus maintenance fee per year. For more information please email us at info@dzineclub.com
