Inboxes are quickly becoming a new wasteland, filled with unsolicited, impersonal, useless, and often offensive messages. As a result, consumers have had to find new ways of coping with the suspicious deluge. Alias addresses and spam filters have become standard defense-mechanisms, while the definition of spam has evolved beyond not having permission, to not delivering relevance.
Yet many marketers continue to treat email as a “cheap” contact strategy for chest pounding and mass promotions. Rather than building trust, this impersonal carpet-bomb approach erodes hard-earned trust by branding the company as a “spammer” more interested in economies of scale than deepening relationships.
So what does it take to compete - and win - in this hostile environment? Join Stephan Spencer, founder of Netconcepts (parent company of GravityMail) for an information packed presentation.

Development Doesn’t Have to be Rocket Science

This is a subsite of Cabelas.com. Netconcepts was commisioned to create a site that was both useable and search engine friendly. With a database of thousands of products, the h1, page title and meta tags are generated dynamically.This helps significantly with increasing visibility and page rank in search engines like google. A database driven website traditionally has long urls with stop characters like “?” which prevent the site from being spidered. A simple naming system for each product page has avoided this enabling the entire site to be spidered with short urls also being friendly to bookmarking.
Netconcepts also provides the branded subsites of Corporate outfitters like Stihl Corporate Outfitters and www.dunns.com.

This site is unusual for an ecommerce site in that every product is a one off. The client updates the site by adding images and descriptions through an administration interface, and with stock being added daily the process needed to be easy to use. The client uploads a large image for each product which is automatically sized into large medium and thumbnails.
This site still performs well in search engines considering it has thousands of products changing daily. Makes good use of Netconcepts’ gravityMail email marketing software which comes as part of our ecommerce solution.

Remember 20th century e-commerce? Perhaps you’d rather forget. The days when people threw money at any e-business idea that sounded vaguely plausible are long gone, but they shouldn’t be forgotten. Some of those famously ill-fated ideas had merit, but the execution let them down.
