In this podcast episode, hosts Jesse and RichE dive deep into the crucial process of selecting the perfect domain name for your online presence.

Tune in to the podcast as they discuss an exciting new Ecwid feature that allows you to get your dream domain name right from the Ecwid admin.

Why a Domain Name Is Important

A strong domain name is crucial for online business success. It represents your brand and aids customers in remembering and finding you online.

Buying an Online Store Domain with Ecwid

The hosts recognize the challenge of setting up a domain, especially for beginners, given the complexities of DNS records and registrar backends.

That's why the new Ecwid feature of buying a custom domain directly from the Ecwid admin is a game-changer. Business owners can easily purchase and connect their own domain to their online store with just a few clicks.

Tips for Choosing a Domain Name

The podcast hosts suggest aiming for a short, memorable name that is descriptive of your brand, preferably ending with .com.

You may need to consider alternatives, such as adding a location or product-related keyword if your desired name is taken.

Listen to the full podcast episode for more tips on choosing a domain name and the importance of having a unique online presence.

Selling online is no longer limited to just your own website. The landscape has evolved, and now it's crucial to have a presence on various platforms, including marketplaces and social media.

To shed light on this topic, we have invited a special guest, Mayon from Channable, who is an expert in the field of multichannel selling.

Streamline Product Feeds with Channable

Product feed management is at the core of Channable. This involves optimizing and transforming product data to ensure it is ready for platforms like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and more.

With Channable, sellers can easily manage their feeds and adapt their product information according to each platform's requirements.

Simplify Your Amazon Selling Journey

For first-time Amazon sellers, the process of launching an Amazon store can be overwhelming.

Channable simplifies this by allowing sellers to manage basic features within their existing Ecwid store while more complex specifics can be filled in directly within Channable.

From Amazon to Niche Platforms

Amazon is a massive marketplace that covers a wide range of product categories, but there are also smaller niche marketplaces specializing in specific industries.

Platforms like Decathlon, Leroy Merlin, and Wayfair are mentioned as noteworthy options.

Fulfillment and Shipping Strategies Across Continents

The discussion then shifts to business owners trying to break into new markets, such as North American merchants targeting Europe.

Fulfillment becomes a significant consideration, and Amazon's fulfillment network is often leveraged by European merchants selling in the US.

Connect Your Ecwid Store to Channable

The Ecwid and Channable integration provides you with a seamless experience in managing orders, fulfillment, and stock synchronization across different platforms.

In today's fiercely competitive business landscape, delivering exceptional customer service is absolutely crucial for achieving success.

That's why we had a chat with Kaia Madalińska from Text (formerly LiveChat) to get some valuable insights into the latest features in the customer service industry that help business owners deliver top-notch customer support.

From Live Chat to Text

Live Chat, a trusted customer service platform for over 20 years, recently rebranded to Text. This change signifies their evolution from a single-product company to a comprehensive suite of products such as a live chat, chatbot, help desk, knowledge base, and open widget. It is expected to enable businesses to provide even better customer service.

The Importance of Multi-Channel Support

Text offers seamless integration with popular channels like Instagram, WhatsApp for business, and Facebook for business. This integration allows businesses to consolidate all customer messages in one place, eliminating the need to switch between different tabs or apps.

Enhancing Ecommerce with Greetings and Personalization
For ecommerce businesses, Text offers a range of features designed to enhance the shopping experience and drive sales. One standout feature is greetings, which empower businesses to personalize interactions with website visitors.

Proactive Chats with Shoppers

Kaia introduces the "traffic section," which provides real-time data about website visitors, including pages visited, time spent, and interests. This data can be used to personalize interactions with visitors.

Enhancing Emal Marketing

Kaia highlights that Mailchimp integration offered by Text is one of the most popular email marketing software integrations available. The integration allows businesses to harness the lead-generating power of Text by enabling customers to subscribe to campaigns and newsletters while filling out the pre-chat survey.

Text for Ecwid Stores

If you run an Ecwid store, you can quickly connect it to Text to provide customer service and proactively promote your products and services to site visitors.
