Google Data Studio and Episerver

A few years ago Google launched Data Studio to help present and share analytics data in a more visual and easy to understand way. It's a great tool to create custom reports based on various data sources ranging from Google Analytics, Adwords, to marketing platforms and even file uploads. And of course sharing them with your team.

GOING ONLINE, IS THAT A ”QUICK ACTION”?

I have been working in the online business for five years and my experience is that it is a process that takes time and a lot of hard work. People sometimes see retail as a much more demanding business than online, but there are similarities.

Episerver Commerce - Retrieving all parent catalog nodes

From time to time I get asked; 'How can I retrieve all parent catalog nodes for a product in Episerver Commerce?' Achieving this using the current version of Episerver commerce API is a bit cumbersome. Luckily Episerver is working on a relation overhaul for the next major version of Commerce, but until then I'll provide some sample code that does the trick.

Service API for Customers, Carts and Orders released

EPiServer released Service API some time ago but it was missing an API for Customers, Carts and Order. We have now released additional Service API endpoints for this Commerce functionality.

Get your delivery strategy right

Shipping and return policies affect the conversion rate of you online store more than you think. Research show that 3 of the top 5 reasons people abandon their shopping cart is related to shipping, and it is not all about cost. 40% of customers say they abandoned the cart because the shipping and handling costs were listed to late. In this blog post I will share some best practices from our experience working with our international e-commerce clients.

Moving from EPiServer CMS to EPiServer Commerce as a Developer

Are you starting your first EPiServer Commerce project? What are the major differences between the products? What new challenges do you face in an ecommerce project vs a regular website project?

EPiServer Commerce route messing with block preview

Yesterday we discovered an issue with our block preview implementation in a project we are currently working on, running EPiServer Commerce version 8.2.1. The problem was that all blocks got previewed in the master language (english in our case). When we clicked a property the correct translation was loaded, but it was very confusing for the editors so we had to fix it.

Ingen droner i sikte

I går meldte nyhetsbyrået Bloomberg News at amerikanske myndigheter setter store begrensninger i blant annet Amazons planer om å levere varer ut ved bruk av droner. U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) har nemlig satt som krav at små droner av sikkerhetshensyn kun kan flys i synlig avstand fra operatøren, og ikke i nærheten av menneskeansamlinger.

Apple lansering 2014 - hva skjer nå?

Jeg kan ikke dy meg. Jeg må bare kommentere gårsdagens Apple lanseringer. Apple Pay gjør det jo faktisk mulig å knytte opp mot ehandel, så da er jeg på trygg grunn?

Neuromarketing: Vitenskap møter webdesign

…og tips om et verktøy som kan hjelpe deg i gang! <BR><BR> Det er mye vi ikke vet om den menneskelige hjernen og de beslutningene vi tar. Men samtidig er det mange som vet veldig mye om det, og tar i bruk virkemidlene på nett også. Du trodde kanskje det var du som bestemte deg for å kjøpe det du sist handlet på nett helt selv…?

PIM - Product Information Management

De fleste som driver med varehandel har nok opplevd det: Du har en excelfil med litt produktinfo her, en bildebank der, noe tekst på en epost, og ikke minst pris, lagerbeholdning og litt til samlet i et ERP-system (Enterprise Resource Planning) og POS-system (Point-of-Sale / checkout) med mer. Så ganger vi alt dette opp med antall produkter du har, og at du skal sende deler av infoen til forskjellige kanaler; avisannonser, nettsider, kataloger med mer. Kort fortalt; du ender opp med det vi på godt norsk kan kalle innholds-spaghetti.

Video trigger salg

Video ble mye diskutert på IRCE. Visste du at man i USA daglig bruker mer tid på smarttelefonen sin alene enn på TV ifølge Millward Brown Digital? Med PC blir TV "liten" i forhold. Og visste du at i gjennomsnitt brukes 33 minutter per dag å se på video på mobil og 22 minutter på PC (kilde: eMarketer)? Nå vet jeg ikke tallene for Norge, men ting tyder på at video på nett er populært også blant nordmenn. Men er vi flinke nok til å utnytte det? Joyus baserer seg nesten utelukkende på video. Her er deres tips.

Inntrykk fra IRCE 2014

IRCE er verdens største konferanse om e-handel, og feiret i år sitt 10års jubileum. Over 200 foredragsholdere på fire dager og nærmere 700 utstillere gjorde turen til Chicago og de 10 000 øvrige deltakere på konferansen vel verdt turen. Men det er mye å tygge på i etterkant. Her er noen av mine hovedinntrykk fra konferansen. Så langt.

Jeg behøver en nettbutikk. Hvor begynner jeg?

Ingen trekker frem løsningen når de påpeker suksesskriterier på en nettbutikk – men det er som oftest den som får skylden når den ikke fungerer. Hvordan skal DU lykkes med nettbutikken din?

Bloggintervjuet: Sportmann

Forskjellen mellom en god nettside og en god nettbutikk er enorm. Det er ikke bare å legge til en "legg i handlekurv" knapp og tro at du har gått fra en produktpresentasjon til en fullverdig nettbutikk. Det ligger mye mer arbeid bak enn som så. Men hva gjør så de som lykkes? Jeg tok en prat med Sportmann for å høre hva de gjør.

Hvordan lykkes med dine nyttårsforsetter

Velkommen til Getas nye blogg! I mitt første innlegg vil jeg gjerne ta for meg et tema som kanskje ikke vil bli så hyppig diskutert her, men siden det tross alt er nyttår, tar jeg sjansen. Godt Nytt, forresten! Hvis du ser et år tilbake, har du nå nådd de målene du satte på denne tiden i fjor? Og har du tenkt igjennom hvorfor du (ikke) har gjort det..?
