So, I really need to get off the stick here and pay more attention to my Pineapple Sugar store on Artfire. I've been hearing really good things about traffic and usability there and I'm intrigued.
Apparently, you no longer have to register with the site to buy something from an Artfire studio. They have a new feature called "Rapid Cart" that lets buyers check out without the hassles of signing up for an account. Just click and buy! This is great feature because I've had some confused buyers with the checkout process at other sites. It even allows sellers to add their rapid cart to outside websites so buyers can click and buy from there (see below). I'm thinking this will be super helpful for me when I finally get around to getting my own site up and don't want the hassles of shopping cart when I first get the site running. Yay for e-commerce!
They also have an awesome social media and hit tracking feature- the MarketHub. It lets sellers link to their sites outside of ArtFire- website, blogs, indiepublic, myspace, facebook, etc. It lives inside the product pages on a seller's ArtFire site and actually tracks the hits each site gets from each product page. Neat! ArtFire is really doing a lot to help with analyzing site traffic and e-commerce. Definitely time to step up my game over there.
*Sigh* Just when I get my Etsy shop up and running smoothly, I decide to jump into another endeavor. That's so like me. Constantly adding more fun to the creative mix. But it keeps things interesting.
Here's my current Rapid Cart (more items coming soon):
