Roy Rubin advised everyone to follow Magento on Twitter. Having visited Magento page on Twitter I’ve found the next news, “Magento 1.2 downloadable products screencast preview (available in late Dec.) http://tinyurl .com/3z72cl”. Hope this news is useful for you!

And not I’d like to use my chance and congratulate my readers and the whole Magento community with coming Christmas and New Year’s Day!

May your days be happy, heart be light
And your Christmas be joyful and bright.
I wish you all the happiness and prosperity!

Dear readers I truly appreciate your attention to my blog. Next year will bring more news on Magento and therefore more posts on my blog.

All above mentioned companies have recently switched to Magento as they plan to grow into more successful online stores. Let’s have a closer look at newborn Magento-driven online stores and find out what they are about.

Seven planet is the world’s first chain of green general stores. It is the foremost green and sustainable marketplace for consumer-based products sold within both virtual and traditional storefronts.

Bracelets.com is the world leader in bracelets offering education and a wide selection with 100% free shipping. Unlike other jewelers, bracelets.com specializes in bracelets so you can be sure that you will receive the best bracelets possible. Bracelets.com offers gold bracelets, silver bracelets, pearl bracelets and more.

Wall Bed Factory has a proud heritage of providing customers with attractive Murphy Bed solutions that can transform a little-used guest bedroom into a unique multi-purpose home office, sewing room, library or game room - and back into a guest bedroom in seconds.

As we’ve already mentioned Magento e-commerce application is a good choice for successful online store building because Magento is a SEO friendly and feature-rich solution. So it becomes obvious that the number of online stores powered by Magento is constantly growing.

As we know online shopping doesn’t imply face to face communication. Online merchant can’t ask his potential customers what prevents them from ordering at his site. He can only guess why potential customers don’t become real customers.

Every online merchant is striving for the largest conversion. Luckily there is a helpful solution. It’s Kampyle.

Kampyle allows online merchants to collect, analyze, and manage feedback submitted by their visitors. Using Kampyle online merchants listen to their clients, take their ideas into consideration and offer the best solutions for every customer. Isn’t it the right way to 100% customer satisfaction?

“How does it relate to Magento?” you may ask. The case is that Kampyle can be implemented on Magento.

Online merchants who run Magento-powered online stores may be sure that implementing Kampyle into Magento is really easy. Kampyle implementation requires copying the Kampyle code to Magento template. The code is composed of 2 sections that need to be copied.

Kampyle Team is ready to give support to anyone who needs it. It has been mentioned at Magento blog when it was announced the advantages of adding Kampyle to Magento.

Kampyle is useful for online shoppers as well as online merchants. Online shoppers can communicate their feedback on certain online stores while online merchants can improve their online stores and get a higher conversion.

The key speakers at this Webinar were Trevor Claiborne, product marketing manager for the Google Website Optimizer team; Roy Rubin, founder and CEO of Varien, the Magento company; and Yoav Kutner, Varien’s CTO. They were discussing the advantages of Google Website Optimizer and its integration with Magento.
Trevor Claiborne has explained what website testing is about. Then he has told about Website Optimizer and its main features. To be short “Google Website Optimizer is a free website testing and optimization tool to test and design via A/B and multivariate testing.”

So what are the main advantages of Google Website Optimizer? Google Website Optimizer allows you get better conversions by choosing the best appearance and functionality of your website or online store. Using Google Website Optimizer you can decide which design and functionality is the most successful for your online project. For instance you can create 2 and even more designs with different buttons, head lines, images and texts and see which of them returns with the largest conversion.

It was mentioned that people get traffic but they have troubles converting the traffic into real revenues. This is where Google Website Optimizer steps in. It allows you try different content and shows what page has the best effect on our visitors. So you can decide on the most successful design for your website or online store.
The speakers have also mentioned mistakes you should avoid while making your first test.
Trevor Claiborne has told about the most successful experiences of using Google Website Optimizer. For instance one company has got 30-percent increase just trying different buttons and text and adding new links.

If you want to learn how to get the most out of the Google Website Optimizer and Magento you can read the full version of this Webinar and even watch the video.

The only thing you guys have to remember is that the discount will only be available during Saturday, December 06, 2008. Be informed, guys, you might want to take advantage of this nice offer.
