Partsking needed a mobile solution that would allow repair technicians in the field to quickly search and purchase laundry parts while onsite. Having the Apps for both major Smartphones allows Partsking customers quicker ordering and actually saves time for the technicians.

We used the Movyloshop Mobile Web Store solution to build the mobile web site for Partsking. We built the store with over 30,000 products. Once we had the store completed we were able to upload the image and description for Android App and the iPhone Apps.

Android Apps are usually approved in 48 hours and the iPhone App was available in 11 days.

Guitars in the Classroom is a non profit that promotes music education in public school from K to High School by teaching teachers to integrate music in their lessons. Guitars in the Classroom elisted DSI Development to build a mobile store that could be used at trade show and training events. 

Guitars in the Classroom wanted to be able to sell their instuctional books and other training materials through a mobile store. We built them a mobile store in one day that allows them to sell the music books at an at a national conference. We then created a poster that had specific QR Codes that took customers to products. This allowed customers to buy books and pay via credit card or PayPal then pick up their purchase at the booth.

The best part is that the staff manning the booth has more time to speak with customers instead of manually writing up sales and manually verifying credit card purchases.

The Movyloshop mobile store solution for Guitars in the Classroom is integrated with Constant Contact and this allows direct marketing from the mobile store to their email lists in Constant Contact.

September starts the beginning of school and the time for PTA organizations to start their membership drives. With rising costs Hearst PTA was looking at a way to be more "Green" by going paperless, saving printing and paper costs let alone reducing the waste going home with students.

Mobile Commerce was the solution Hearst PTA needed to achieve their "Green" goals. DSI Development built Hearst PTA a complete mobile store in a day. From the beginning they were able to sell their various membership levels, school legacy bricks and school clothing. Transactions were handled through PayPal and the PayPal gateway also allowed customers to use their credit cards as well with out Hearst needing a dedicated merchant account.

The Hearst PTA used various QR Codes that were printed on posters and placed through out the school campus. These QR Codes allow parents and supporters to be directed to specific products on the Hearst PTA mobile store and made purchasing via mobile extremely easy.  Every new product or item placed on the mobile store gets a QR Code which makes new fund raising options much easier and keeps Hearst PTA "Green". 

If your PTA, Non Profit or Business wants a mobile commerce solution contact DSI Development and we will provide your Non Profit or Business a mobile store in one day.

1. Can be number one within hours of opening a SEM account if you are willing to bid for that top spot. 
2. Pick specific keyword phrases: 
3. Can customize the web site’s ads with a specific title and description for each keyword phrase. 
4. Test market a product or service or do a short term online promotion without waiting for a search engine to index the new product or service. 
5. Many users will click on paid listings because they trust that a web site that is willing to pay for their business may be more legitimate and have more to offer. 
6. Create specific landing pages for specific keywords. 
7. No web site optimization needed? Yahoo and MSN do not require landing pages or the web site to be optimized. As of summer 2006, Google began using a new spider to check the quality and content of landing pages and match the keywords with those landing pages. Web sites that are optimized for the products or services that they are bidding on will be receiving a better price per click than a web site that is not optimized. So an advertiser could be number one and pay less per click than number 3 simply because the web site is better optimized. 

1. PPC can be very costly. Some advertisers are willing to pay as much as $100 per click or more for some keyword phrases. 
2. PPC is a bid process so the company with deeper pockets can afford more phrases and can drive competition from the top spots 
3. May require daily management to remain competitive and to make sure that your site is staying in the position you want. 
4. Possible click spamming can occur where companies hire people to click on web sites to waste competitor’s money and drive up click values. Some PPC providers are attempting to stop this practice but in reality it is hard to stop click spamming. Google has settled a class action lawsuit for $90 million dollars and Yahoo is currently under fire for click fraud. 
5. As much as 75% percent of search engines users will not click on PPC ads instead on trusting the organic results. This is just an average figure. Some markets enjoy a higher percentage of PPC users than other markets. (Search engine users tend to trust the PPC results for the real estate industry with this industry enjoying a PPC click thru rate of 40% in some markets). 
6. As may as 85% of the clicks may never spend more that 5 seconds on your landing page which means that 85% of the clicks are wasted. 

Since SEM advertising is growing the value of search engines and it is one of the top areas of profitability for search engines, SEM advertising will not be going away anytime soon but instead will continue to be a dominating factor for the major search engines. Since Internet users are becoming more educated and understand that SEM advertising can provide exactly what they may be looking for savvy Internet users will click on SEM results. Some research has shown that 25% of Internet users will click on a paid ad. SEM can be good or bad and the results of your campaign is based on how well it is managed and how much money you are willing to spend. 

Easy, all they have to do is claim the listing by changing the phone number and then redirect the traffic that would have been steered to your business to theirs. Still cannot believe this can happen? Well it can, it does and in New Zealand and women was prosecuted for stealing the listings of her florist shop competitors. Yes Competitors. She hijacked several listings and had the information pointing to her websites and businesses. She faced 7 years for fraud and was convicted to some time served and many hours of community service.

The fact of the matter is every business needs to claim and optimize their local listings. These listing have replaced the phone book and they are the very listings that feed all of the GPS maps in cars. These are also the same listing people use while searching for businesses on their cellular phones. If you don’t claim it some one else will and they are stealing your business.

If you see "Are you Business Owner?" then you need to begin the steps to claiming that listing. Every business in America has the opportunity for free listings on all of the major search engines including Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Your business and its success or failures may very well depend on the simple act of claiming your business listings. Because if you don’t someone will and you will have your business stolen from right in front of you.

Don't want to go through the time consuming work of claiming all these listings? Then let us do it for you with our local listing optimization service.

Alas I found a solution that I began to test and promote to my clients. I found an easy to use mobile web store creator called MovyloShop. I began by creating a demo store for one of my clients. In 20 minutes I had been able to show a client a few products in an optimized mobile store. They loved it and so I proposed a challenge to myself.

Could I build, launch and create a mobile e-commerce store with an AdWords ad campaign in 1 hour? Yes launch a store and market it in one hour. I an not talking about adding a couple of products but over 125 products with descriptions, images, weights and inventory, create the shipping table and set up the various store pages and set up the payment system as well. Then to top it off create a new Google AdWords account with a $75 free coupon (I added $25 for an even $100) and set up PPC advertising for mobile only. ALL THIS IN 1 HOUR! No Way Right?

Start the Clock…..

I set my billing timer up (yes this is a client project) and began. I have some experience with the MovyloShop system already and I knew the steps in creating a store. But as you will see that was not where most of my time was spent or yours for that matter.

First: I knew I wanted to promote the entire line of Kaenon Polarized Sunglasses for Point Loma Outfitting. There were 132 models with several categories, descriptions and images. Step one was to export the data I needed from their current shopping cart at PointLomaOutfitting.com. Once I extracted all of the Kaenon Sunglasses I had to clean the excel file so that I would upload only the current product that we could ship with in 24 hours. After getting that step done I looked up and 14 minutes had past. NO WAY 1 HOUR WAS GOING TO WORK.

Second: I went to Movyloshop to begin setting up the store. I choose the name kaenon and it was available and then after a couple of seconds a store creator wizard pops up asking you to add a new product. Since I had a file that I was planning on uploading, I passed on using the store creator this time. (I did use it the first time when I set up the demo for my client). I went first to the store tab. Here I knew I wanted to upload the products in bulk. I clicked on the download template button and opened up the excel file and copied the product information that I had for each cell. Here is where I made a 9 minute mistake. I did not follow the convention of the categories as laid out in the downloaded template and added my categories with comma separators. MovyloShop does not parse the commas and as such I ended up with funky category names.

I uploaded the file the first time and it took 2 minutes. Then I saw my mistake with the categories and had to re-fix the download file right and re upload it. This process took the extra 9 minutes that I could have saved. At this point the time is now 31 MINUTES! YIKES! No way I can finish right. Just keep going, I was not about to fail.

Third: After the products were good and the categories were good, I went to the preferences tab and began to create the look and feel of the store. I started by updating the page information of the Store Contents and setting up the store preferences pages. Since most of this info was already on their main web site I only have to cut and paste the info. This only took a quick couple of minutes. The shipping tables can be the hardest to program but here I wanted standard, 2 day and overnight. This made it easy to set up with only three shipping options.

Then I chose a theme and began to edit the colors. Since I had colors to go by I just used the same colors for the mobile version. I decided to create a logo from one of their logos I already had so I did a quick logo and uploaded and tested the look in the preview button. I also added photos to the category folders giving the site a upgraded look. The preview button gives you a live look at the web site. Also when you create your name, in this case Kaenon, you have a working store front: in this case kaenon.movylopshop.com. So I can see the store on the preview or my phone if I wanted. I looked up now and WOW 53 Minutes have passed and I need to set up the payment system. (Did I really need to make a Graphic Logo?)

Four: Went to store tab click on billing, checked the credit card box to add the PayPal login email and hit save. Still 53 Minutes.. That was easy!

Five: Reviewed my store and saw I can add product, go to check out and purchase thru PayPal.

If you already have a mobile store you can use MS to create impulse promotions and multiple landing pages for any product

Now to set up AdWords. I found a free coupon Web Site Magazine, created a new account in Google for this site. I created the AdWords account and began to set up the Campaign, Billing info and everything that it takes to get AdWords up and running. I used kaenon.movyloshop.com since I did not have a specific domain set up for this yet but I was on a Mission. 58 Minutes and counting. Oh by the way the store is done and running. In less than an hour. But I needed to finish AdWords set up. At 59 minutes and 33 seconds the credit card was charged and the campaign sat in pending until the AdWords team could approve the ad campaign.
Note: The ads were running 30 minutes later. I could have used a current account and had the campaign created much quicker.

So let’s review. I managed to take a non existing mobile e-commerce store and launch it with 132 products, all with descriptions and images, and set up a mobile only marketing campaign. I DID IT! But more importantly I was able to prove that in hour any business can begin selling to millions of potential customers who are shopping in increasing numbers every day on their mobile phones.

I do need to do a few more things like assign a .mobi domain to the site and I can upload the clients customer data and begin a SMS and email marketing campaign right from the back end. Also I can update the store page info to cater to the mobile user and since there are only a few pages, I will want to spruce up the info, But the goal of building and marketing a mobile web site in hour and achieving that goal seems so unreal, yet it is possible for any business to have a mobi web site in less than an hour.

Now that’s Technology!
