Heather that is a really nice website. Looks great! Did Donna set it
up for you? She is the absolute best web design person I have ever
dealt with, she is very talented. Donna designed my templates.
The wish list is a gift registry, to me they are the exact same
thing, but with different names. The ideal wishlist should include a
function where you can email your wish list / gift registry to your
friends. Given that you are in a business where gift registrys
are very popular (baby showers) this portion of your site is extremely
important and something I would focus and capitalize on.
If
I had a business that would profit on baby showers, bridal showers,
etc. I would make up mailable registry certificates (postcard style)
where the URL of the Gift Registry is typed in. These can then be
mailed out to your customers and they can in turn mail those out to
their friends along with shower invitations, as a matter of fact you
can sell the shower invites with the gift registry URL on it. Keep in
mind, most showers are planned by a friend of the person who is getting
married, having a baby, etc. So, the planner will usually go for
something like this if the work is already done for them. You can
provide the entire service, all they would have to do is mail you a
list of the people invited to the shower and you can take it from
there. Just a thought.
Murdock, that is a great idea. I
have never seen a list for repetetive purchases. This is certainly
applicable in some types of businesses. While the registry could double
for something like that, it would be ideal to have a shopping list
where you can add your Favorites. This favorites list would have the
product and the Add to Cart button next to it. Hell, you can even
program a sequence for products that you would have auto-shipped on a
monthly, biweekly, weekly, or bimonthly basis. This wouldn't be what I
would call a traditional retail e commerce feature, but if you have
wholesale customers, such a feature would be a really cool thing to
have.
