Posted on by


Valrico, FL (PRWEB) November 8, 2010

Kanes Publications is the parent company of an internet shopping site that specializes in African American related products and their website is appropriately named Its A Black Thang.com (http://www.itsablackthang.com). Kinnebrew, the self-described Hardest Working Man on the Internet created the website in the fall of 2001 and over the past nine years the company has grown into one of the largest Black-oriented shopping sites on the internet. They now offer over 8,000 unique African American related products. Their line includes: artwork, figurines, Christmas cards & decorations, and Black History memorabilia.

Its A Black Thang.com (http://www.itsablackthang.com) grossed over 400K in 2009 and is set to double that amount in 2010. Kinnebrew attributes much of their success to hard work and dedication. However, he credits President Obamas economic policies as a key component of their strategy for survival during the economic downturn. Some of the policies he cites include:

You can now experience the adrenalin rushing through your body as you race downhill, gain momentum and whiz through the air with the uncomplicated yet engaging game Shopping Cart Hero. If you want to challenge the hero in you, Shopping Cart Hero is the game meant for you. Your goal in the game is to reach the ground safely after you have had your flight in the air.

The game is fairly simple. Run while you push your shopping cart down the hill, get into it, fly through the air and then land safely on the ground. The further you fly, the further will you land and your score will be subsequently higher. Once you have scored sufficient points you can upgrade your cart. You can use the points to gain tools like racing wheels, rocket jets, superman, and so on. Use one of these to propel yourself and your cart in the air. The rocket jets are also varied, single, double and so on.

The better the jet, the more power it will have, and it will boost your flight better. The only precaution that the player needs to take is to ensure that the cart is balanced well and you land upright. If your jump goes wrong, you will crash land, killing yourself. A high score will enable you to obtain better tools that will enhance your jump and make you thereby score higher. If the player does not wish to carry out the jump alone, you can add groupies to your cart who will accompany the player in the jump.

There are no complicated moves that you need to make to jump into your cart or jump in the air and thus the game can be played by one and all. It is available in Flash format and downloads easily and quickly. The game also has accompanying sounds that put you in the right mood to play the game.

You can hear the patter of feet while you run or the boom of the rocket engine when you jump in the air. The sounds of the game augment the fun.

Shopping Cart Hero is a single player game but if you wish to get competitive you can always compare your scores with your buddies and the highest scorer will win. But do not let the simplicity of the game deceive you. Even with its minimalism, the game gets you thirsty for more. You will keep wanting to fly higher and longer and then land at a greater distance. And of course all this while you balance your cart and try and land safely. Even simple things in life have their challenges and the game proves exactly this. Shopping Cart Hero can be played online or you can download it and play it as and when you like. It is available absolutely free of cost and there are no hidden charges. All in all the game is a go getter. It is a sure shot entertainment package that is easy and engrossing.

Shopping Cart Hero is the fantastic online game .with lots of thrills and excitement.. you will love it.

Smartphones Lead to Greater Transparency in the Shopping Experience

Posted on by


Boston, MA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 09, 2011

A new report from Chadwick Martin Bailey and iModerate Research Technologies finds smartphones are becoming an indispensable tool in the shopping experience. The study of over 1400 consumers shows over half of consumers are using their smartphones to enhance their shopping experience, especially those under 35 (67%). iPhone owners top the list with over 70% reporting they use applications or the phones web browser to assist them while shopping in-store. iPhone owners are not only comparison shopping on their smartphones, 41% are also making purchases on their phone.

Given the strong growth in smartphone ownership, everyone is dependent on the in-store experience from retailers to product manufacturers each must take advantage of opportunities these devices provide for generating sales and improving the customer experience, says Jeff McKenna a senior consultant for Chadwick Martin Bailey. Along with designs for packaging, displays, and signage, we will see smartphone-based communication as a necessary element of retail planning.

The study also identifies key differences by gender. Women are more likely to use their smartphone to find discounts, while men are more likely to check online reviews. When it comes to the apps consumers use on their phones, 44% use a bar code scanning app, 38% use a discount app (e.g. LivingSocial) and 31% turn to review sites. Qualitatively, some consumers said:

I use my Smartphone to scan the barcode and check the prices online and reviews of the productsaving time and effort by purchasing the right product for me the first time around so I don’t have to return and buy again. -Female, age 18-24

I was able to shop with more confidence knowing that I was getting a fair price. – Female, age 40-44

In addition, the study also found that 23% of smartphone owners have made a purchase on their device, the majority of which (41%) take place on an iPhone. Entertainment purchases such as music, movies and TV shows top the list at 46%, banking makes up 39%, electronics 29% and online auctions 25%.

Shopping Cart Design

Posted on by
Reply

A majority of customers are so wonderstruck or bothered by the volume or products that are available online that they just don’t know what to look for, which is why the right kind of shopping cart design can make a positive difference.

What do customers typically do when they shop online? Here are some examples:

They browse through a series of products, not sure what to pick because specifications are not clear or price tag is not legible.
They search for price updates, product reviews and thumbnail sizes.
They try to click and find magnified designs.
They get bowled over by an attractive product but when they click or try to add to the cart, there are errors so they move off to another site.

Stay Away From Pushy Shopping Cart Designs

A good shopping cart design is meant to accomplish three functions.

They are:
Persuade a customer to shop from your site.
Request to add something to the cart.
Ask the customers to proceed with the checkout.

This smooth transition does not always take place. Some worst case scenarios that do happen are:

They do not provide enough room for customers to think and evaluate their buying decision.
A product selection is automatically followed by a page that tries to capture the billing details.
When a customer is directed to an unexpected page, he/she feels tricked and immediately hits the exit button.

Flexibility is important to your shopping cart design so that customers feel in control throughout the transition. From the stage of product selection till the actual check out, a customer’s preference must be appreciated.

More Tips to Evaluate Shopping Cart Design

Choosing a design involves a lot of thought. Customers love to shop at a website which is easy to comprehend, systematic and puts all the products within easy reach. Uncluttered design and aesthetic elements add to its allure. A few more tips to keep your shopping cart design are:

Don’t get too creative with your cart by naming it something exotic. Keep it simple as ‘Shopping Cart.’
Having an ‘Add to Cart’ button is important. For online customers, a ‘Buy’ button feature can be confusing, especially as it deters him/her to revise a buying decision or remove products to the cart later on. 

Pinnacle Cart Software’s latest product extends complete autonomy on product and customer relationship management. It is easy to set up, offers search engine friendly solution and is compatible with popular payment gateways.
