MEGAMART


Did you know you can search all web widgets online stores via www.megamart.co.nz ?
Megamart offers the perfect gift search, where you can search by price, age or gender, which makes gift shopping a breeze.  Avoid the department stores this year, and purchase your gifts online from small businesses like your own.
 
If you have an online store with us, make sure you have updated your product information to appear in the correct categories. It is better to specify an age, otherwise your products will be excluded from the gift search.
 
Over 3000 unique visitors search megamart every month. 

SAVING THE TREES


You will note that we send our invoices by email.  We do this because it saves the trees by saving a ream of copy paper, a giant box of envelopes, 20% of our laser printer toner and $150 worth of postage stamps every month.
 
Depending on the quality of your email backups, you should not need to print out this invoice either. Saving all your digital invoices into a folder, where adequate backups are kept should be satisfactory for tax purposes. If you do decide to keep a print out for your own records, you do not need to send us any remittance copies. Just write your UID code and main website address on the back of your cheque, and post it to us. Better yet, you can save an envelope and postage stamp yourself by using the credit card or online banking payment option. Just login to your internet banking, add our bank account number as a payee, then include your UID in any payment reference.
 
You can also save yourself alot of administration time by setting up an automatic payment, or paying us annually, using our discounted annual hosting plans.

QUICK TIPS

Four how-to tips:

  • Hide A Product: Edit under Shopping Cart Product.  Change "Priority Listing" to Hidden. 
  •  Alter photos: This cannot be done from within WebWidgets.  You need to edit photo size/layout etc before uploading into WebWidgets.  Do this within the picture editing programme on your computer.  Photo resizing tutorial here: http://www.web-widgets.net/photo_resizing.html 
  • Change font throughout website: Click on "Design Settings", "fine tune colours, fonts and images", "change advanced styles here" and type your chosen font into the third white box.  Click "Add".  
  • Remove Under Construction banner: Click "Publish Changes" to remove this banner from your newly live website.
