Scratch and Save from Solid Cactus is a feature for Yahoo! stores that will certainly entice your online shoppers. An interactive coupon is styled to match your store and is placed in a prominent location on your item page. Shoppers click and drag a dime across the virtual surface, revealing a random coupon code which can be used upon checkout for extra savings. And, as a store owner, it’s easy for you to set up and manage the coupons codes used for this feature. You can use Scratch and Save all the time, or just activate it for special sales and promotions. Scratch and Save is a perfect tool to work with e-mail marketing or social media campaigns, too as you can generate some buzz about this new feature. Simply put, Scratch and Save increases conversion rates and improves the customer experience with a unique, memorable, and entertaining way to shop.

Idea! Scratch & Save works great when coupled with an e-mail marketing campaign to promote a “mystery discount.“
When times are tough, customers are looking to save money any way they can. Increase your conversions during these trying times with the innovative Recession Buster Pricing feature from Solid Cactus. Recession Buster Pricing shows you understand the needs of your customers. You’ve already got the customer on your site and interested in your products; but, if they aren’t sold on your price, Recession Buster Pricing allows you to remain competitive and still capture that sale.
This feature displays a “make an offer” icon on your item pages that allows your visitors to submit a bid on the item. Since you have the ability to set acceptable price points in percentages for each item, when your customer’s bid falls within your threshold, the bid will automatically be accepted and the item will be added to the cart. If the price is rejected, users can bid again. You have full control over the feature, setting the number of tries your customers have to place an offer. Recession Buster Pricing is win-win. You capture the sale and the customer gets the price they were looking for.
Want more control? Solid Cactus offers a Quote Form version of this feature, where instead of automatically approving quotes you receive an e-mail with your customer’s bid and contact information. You can then accept, decline, or counter-offer offline with the customer.
Both features can be turned on or off so you can use the feature when you want.
Quick shopping features like Snap Shop from Solid Cactus are changing the way people shop online. Taking a cue from top retailer, Gap Inc., which implemented a similar feature on its four eCommerce entities, Solid Cactus pioneered Snap Shop for Yahoo! Store. With Snap Shop, you can eliminate clicks by allowing customers to shop right from the section page. When an item is hovered over, an icon appears with a message such as “view details.” When clicked, a pop-in window appears showcasing all the product information, pricing, additional images, and an add-to-cart button — all in a neatly-organized tabbed display styled to match your store. Users can select a quantity, options, and add to cart right from the Snap Shop window. Users can also view cart or go to full item page. Users can also compare items side by side, as multiple windows can be opened at once. Snap Shop increases conversions by providing a fun, convenient, and easy shopping experience.
Are your products easy to find? Do your users have to click multiple times to drill down to the page they are looking for? If your products are hard to find, you risk visitors becoming frustrated and worse, leaving your store. If your Yahoo! Store has many sections with multiple subsections, Mega Drop Down offers you an organized solution to help your visitors get to the pages they are looking for in less clicks.
Like our traditional cascading menu, with Mega Drop Down users mouse over your navigation to reveal a fly-out menu that provides a peek into the sections and subsections. But, we’ve taken it to a new level with Mega Drop Down. With this feature, you can show top-tier sections and their corresponding subsections (and even sub-sub sections) all in one window, allowing users find exactly what they need in no time. And rather than one long column, you can customize the amount and width of columns, as well as add an icon image and abstract text for each section.
Improve navigation and functionality
Organize the pages of your store without adding clicks
Solid Cactus’ Product Scroller allows you to minimize clutter and keep your featured products above the fold by displaying products in a unique way. Rather than take up valuable real estate with several rows of items, your shoppers can instead use arrows to slide back and forth through your featured items from one row. This feature creates a memorable shopping experience and provides a quick and convenient way to browse. Just like regular homepage featured items, price and sale price is shown within the Scroller and users can click on any product to go to the detail page for more information or make a purchase. You can use Product Scroller to highlight featured items, sale items, and more.
Build excitement and create urgency by adding Solid Cactus’ Holiday Countdown to your eCommerce store. This feature provides a countdown in hours, days, minutes, and seconds to the end of holiday shopping season, a special sale, a free shipping offer, or other time-sensitive promotion. Located prominently in your shell, the countdown will appear throughout the duration of a visitor’s shopping experience, enticing them to make a purchase now, before the sale is over.
And, this feature isn’t just for Christmas: you can activate it throughout the years and change the graphic and promotional message for other occasions like back to school, Halloween, Mother’s Day, or a even a general sale. Get creative and get customers to buy… now.
Ever walk right toward the clearance rack or value bins at your local department store? Bargain shoppers sure do. Promote your sales with the innovative Dynamic Sales Page from Solid Cactus.
