"The Internet’s Small Business Solution Center"
WebNow Debuts Powerful E-Commerce Solutions
On-line store capabilities increase profitability for WebNow.com small businesses clients.
KIHEI, MAUI, HI- June 1, 1999- WebNow.com, the Internet’s small business solution center, announced today the addition of powerful e-commerce capabilities to its product offerings.
"WebNow.com gets small business e-commerce ready quickly and easily," states WebNow president Joe Gleason. "Our simple step by step process follows the same point and click method as the rest of our popular features, allowing merchants to build a fully functioning web storefront in just a few minutes."
The system is set up to provide safe and prompt transactions in an attractive layout. The features are very well thought out for the business owner wanting to build a complete on-line store, or for those that just want to promote and sell a few products at a time. Products categories can be customized with a description for each category and each product. Shop owners can also modify prices to accommodate different shipping methods, state taxes, quantity, and weight of the order. Items placed in customers' shopping carts stay there until explicitly purchased or removed, even if weeks go by while they make up their mind. Best of all, any of the elements (text, pricing, shipping options, etc.) can easily be changed at any time.
WebNow e-commerce gives the merchant the power to customize communication with their customers. Text can be entered in special information templates to call attention to certain products, announce a sale, give purchasing tips or other information. A personalized message can also be automatically sent once an order is placed, and again when an item is shipped. As soon as an e-commerce member logs on to WebNow.com, they will be alerted if there are orders pending in their on-line store. Detailed reporting shows how many potential customers have been to the site, on which days, and which pages were visited.

"Billions are being spent globally in on-line purchases," continues Gleason. "WebNow provides the essential tools for our members to tap into this lucrative market while staying in complete control of their own site."
