Convenient customer browser bookmark facility.

Web sites created with advanced technology such as that used by IntelliMerchant
are generally not successfully 'bookmarked'. Recognizing the drawbacks of
this, the authors of the software created a special link which your customers can
bookmark in order to bring them back to your catalog. The presence of this
link on the shoppers page serves to gently remind/prod the customer to bookmark your
catalog.

|
Using IntelliMerchant's optional inventory module your customers won't have to call
to check on the availability of products.
|
|
|
|
|
IntelliMerchant's inventory feature permits your customers to find
out before they place an order whether or not it can be filled
immediately. In the case of unavailable products this allows
the customer to make an alternate purchase. This saves both you and
the customer time and aggravation in dealing with out-of-stock conditions.
|
|
|
|
|
IntelliMerchant will decrement inventory counts as orders are placed
preventing you from over-committing products. If you reject an order
the inventory counts are automatically incremented. Similarly,
adjustments to orders are automatically reflected in the inventory counts.
|
|
|
|
|
When a product reaches your pre-set inventory level IntelliMerchant
will email you that it is time to restock. When an out-of-stock
condition is reached your customer is informed with a message that you
set. This message can inform them of the expected delivery date of
new merchandise or that the out-of-stock condition is permanent. A
great feature for dealing with end-of-run merchandise.

|
|
Email announcement facility to customers.
|
|
|
|
|
Through IntelliMerchant's facilities you can send email messages to customers
announcing sales, new merchandise, or just to say ‘Hi. Remember us?’.
Emails are sent subject to the individual customer’s consent of course.
The customer selection mechanism provided with IntelliMerchant allows you
to target particular customers with each message. For example, you
can select customers by geographic area, their account type, their most recent
purchase date, and/or product purchased.
This is an incredibly powerful marketing tool. You can send an email
to customers who haven't purchased in a while asking them why they haven't ordered
lately. You can send an email to recent customers soliciting feedback
on the quality of the product they received. You can perform marketing
test studies by sending different emails to different customers and seeing which
generates the better response. The feedback from your customers is quicker
and more cost efficient than using the postal service.
