Google Books Preview for Magento shops

Another nizzze extension from Younify for your Magento webshop. This time, an extension which will help Magento bookstore owners increase their conversion. For a customer of ours, fotografie.nl we developed a Magento extension to show the Google Book Previews on the product page.

A little history grabbed from Google’s site:

Around 2002 Google launched the Google Books project. Part of Google Books is that certain books can be viewed online. Currently over 10,000 publishers and authors from 100+ countries are participating in the Book Search Partner Program. The Library Project expands to 28 partners, including seven international library partners: Oxford University (UK), University of Complutense of Madrid (Spain), the National Library of Catalonia (Spain), University Library of Lausanne (Switzerland), Ghent University (Belgium) and Keio University (Japan).

So what does this mean? Well, if a book you sell in your Magento store has been scanned by Google, it will add this button to your Magento product page:

Books are recognized based upon the ISBN number. If a book is not available for Google Preview, the button will not show. The extension allows site visitors to get a preview of the book, thus increasing online sales and visitor satisfaction.

Some useful links:

To learn more about the Google Books project, please visit : http://books.google.com/

To see it in action, check the Canon Rebel T1I/500D book.

The extension costs 19.95€. If you want, we can install it for you for an additional charge of 55€. To order, please send an e-mail to info@younify.nl

Newsletter Subscription+ for Magento online stores

Younify’s Magento extension ‘Newsletter Subscription+’ allows Magento store owners to provide variable discounts to newsletter subscribers. By offering greater incentives and adding a ‘lottery’ element to the subscription process, store owners will be able to increase the number of newsletter subscribers.

After installing the module, store owners can determine the minimum, maximum and average discount amount they would like to give away. These admin settings will make sure that, although the discount percentage is randomly generated for each new subscriber, the discounts given will never exceed the store owners’ budget.

This is how it works:
• When a new user subscribes to the newsletter a subscription confirmation email is sent to user;
• The user will have to click the confirmation link in the e-mail. After this subscription has been confirmed another e-mail is sent to the user, containing the randomly generated discount percentage and the coupon code to redeem the discount during the checkout process;
• After the coupon code has been used, the discount rule will be inactive;
• The store owner is able to control the minimum, maximum and average discount amount via the Magento admin panel.

The extension is a great addition for any storeowner who wants to boost the number of newsletter subscribers. The ‘lottery’ element will entice more visitors to subscribe, as they will be looking for the opportunity to benefit from THE special discount.

An example:
• Store owner has set the minimum discount amount to 5%
• Store owner has set the maximum discount amount to 40%
• Store owner has set the average discount amount to 10%

Site visitor Joe, subscribes to the newsletter and receives a 20% discount on his first purchase. When the second visitor subscribes, the extension will calculate and see that the discount provided is above the average discount the store owner wants to give away. As a result it will provide an randomly chosen discount between 5% (the minimum) and 10% (the average). As a result the next visitor Jane, can (for example) receive a discount of 7%.

The price of this extensions is 19.95€. To order or if you have any questions, please contact Younify:

3D Floorplanner extension for Magento

To close the year in style we are excited to inform you about our latest extension: The 3D Floorplanner.

Younify’s 3D Floorplanner extensions connects the Magento Commerce software with online floor planner functionality from floorplanner.com through its API.

Using floorplanners’ easy interface, site visitors can quickly create and share interactive floor plans. Using various tools, such as point-and-click and drag-and-drop the visitor can put objects from the Magento store, such as a couch, a table or a chair into their own floor plan. Floor plans can be saved for later use, they can be send to friends or colleagues or they can be printed. Check the movie which can be found at the bottom of this page.

After a floor plan has been created the site visitor can move all objects directly from the floor plan to the Magento shopping cart. The other way around is also possible: if visitors have added products to their cart, they can with one mouse click move all products to a 3D Floorplan.

Younify’s 3D Floorplanner extensions adds a lot of value to any e-commerce site which sells furniture or other interior decoration. Shop owners will be able to distinguish themselves from their competition & site visitors can see exactly how the products they intend to purchase in the online store will look in their home, office or store. Allowing ‘intend’ to be converted into sales.

The 3D Floorplanner extension is of special value for Magento shopowners in the following areas: furniture, interior decoration & architecture.
