New Blog Home

Hi WebStore Users,

ATTENTION! My blog has a new home!! I'm happy to announce the new and improved eMarketing center powered by the Active Network. I've created a place specifically for you to go to for all things WebStore related. You'll find:

• WebStore tips, tricks and hints
• WebStore information such as Remittance Schedule, FAQs, Data Sheets, etc..
• Access to all of our FREE customizable templates to download
• Catch up on my blog!

I'm so excited b/c I know that many of our WS users were blocked from this blog site by their districts and therefore weren't able to read all my tips!

The new home of my blog will be http://emarketing.activenetwork.com/login.htm

You should all be receiving an email with your autocreated username and password so that you can log in to the site. Bookmark this page: http://emarketing.activenetwork.com/login.htm so that you can keep up with my blog and gain access to all of our FREE marketing tools to really help promote your WS at your school.

Hope you're all having a great weekend! I'm in Salt Lake City visiting some of our schools and preparing for snow tomorrow!! AHHH!

Lifetouch Yearbooks

Hi WebStore Users,

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I'm trying to find out if any of your schools use Lifetouch for your yearbook production? If you do, can you let me know - shoot me over an email :)

Thanks!

Announcements!

Hi Everyone!

I have some major announcements that I'd like to share with you of some things that I've been working on over here!! It's been a busy month over here and I'm really excited to share the progress with all of you.

1. The WebStore Wizard Bulletin - the inaugural edition of my monthly newsletter will be sent out on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd. If you don't receive it, let me know! Every month I'll be sending this out to our WebStore customers and the content is specifically geared at making the most of your store and answering some of your most frequently asked questions!

2. eMarketing Center - I'm happy to announce that we've built a place for you all to go to now to download the templated flyers and posters that we've created for you to use. The eMarketing center will also be the new home of my WebStore Wizard blog - this is GREAT...as many of you are blocked from the blogspot domain and are unable to access it anyway - this will be housed on our activenetwork servers so there will be no reason for you NOT to read this :) Some things the eMarketing center can be used for:

• WebStore templates - email, posters, flyers, web buttons
• Best Practices from other Schools
• Free marketing tips and useful information to spread the word about your WebStore

You should all be receiving an email here soon introducing you to the eMarketing Center and your pre-created username and password! WHOO HOO!

3. Donations & Advertising Webinar - Sept. 29th at 1pm PST. Click here to register!

4. WS Enhancements - They're coming!! Thanks to everyone who filled out the quick survey that I sent out. We have been able to bump up some key enhancements to the WebStore that will be released by the end of the month - Quantity Limit to 1 and MUST items are currently being worked on in the store! I'll keep you posted on the progress!!

5. Event Sales - I've had some great conversations with our users on other ways that they are using their WebStore now that fall registration is over - charity golf tournaments and big game football tickets are just a few ways that schools are continuing to make the most of their WebStores!

Hope you're all as excited as I am about what's coming up in the near future! Have a great week!

Back To School Night!

Hi WebStore Users,

Back to School night is a FABULOUS opportunity to get information out about your WebStore to parents.

Here are some things that schools are doing on this night to announce their WebStore:

• Principal is going to mention online payment option during welcome address
• Flyers will be in every classroom and in any packets that parents receive that night
• WebStore will be announced during Student News Broadcast
• During purchases - flyer will be handed out to parents along with receipts
• WebStore will be displayed on Marquee for parents to see

If you are doing something else on this night to inform parents, I want to know about it! Comment below and share your ideas.

Also - if you need a flyer created, let me know and I'll whip one up and send it over to you. All you'll have to do is make copies!
