CoreCommerce Review

Posted in Shopping Cart Reviews, Web Hosting Reviews on by James Spinosa – Be the first to comment

corecommerceCoreCommerce is an ecommerce solution that has operated by Sum Effect Software since 2008 from their Franklin, Tennessee offices. Over 13,000 stores worldwide use CoreCommerce as their shopping cart management software, the majority of which are small to medium sized businesses. Noteworthy clients include Clear Channel Radio, GE, Thomas Nelson Publishers, and Michigan State.

CoreCommerce was designed to be an all inclusive hosted software package, instead of simply giving you software to install on your server you are actually receiving web hosting service through web hosting industry leader Rackspace. This means that everything you need to start your ecommerce site can be done right through CoreCommerce, including a domain name, hosting, ability to accept credit cards, design your site, write content, etc.

This software is specifically designed to make it possible for entrepreneurs and small business owners to be able to start an ecommerce store without requiring a web design background. There is definitely a learning curve, it will probably at least take a week or two to get used to it, but overall it is very straightforward to use and it is one of those things that requires minimal effort once it is up and running. The real effort will come with finding ways to market your business and ensure that you are able to ship out products efficiently. Continue review... CoreCommerce Review

iContact Review

Posted in Autoresponder Reviews on by James Spinosa – Be the first to comment

icontactiContact is the largest of the email marketing companies that I have reviewed, and by quite a large margin with over 600,000 users. They are based out of Durham, NC and have been around since 2003. The vast majority of their users are small businesses, but they also have infrastructure in place to support big companies with many active subscribers (100,000+) with their pro plans.

Any decent email marketing service will be able to offer at least 95% deliverability rates for their emails, iContact actually achieves over 99% deliverability according to Pivotal Veracity (an independent email auditing firm). They have very strong relationships with ISP white-lists, which allows them to get through the spam filters so your legitimate email for your client/customer isn’t thrown in the spam bin. Tools such as Spam-Check allow you to correct your emails before they are sent out to remove keywords or phrases that can trigger spam filters. Continue review... iContact Review

PrintRunner Review

Posted in Business Reviews on by James Spinosa – Be the first to comment

printrunnerPrintRunner, inc. is one of the biggest online printing services, and with size comes the ability to give superior print quality and affordable prices. PrintRunner, incorporated was started over 10 years ago in Southern California and now sites on a 25,000sq. ft. facility. With their large product line they strive to fulfill any printing needs through high quality, competitively priced printing services.

While local printing shops may be filled with tradition, they simply cannot match the full color quality of larger printing operations such as PrintRunner. The scale of their operation also gives them the ability to work on tight deadlines with low turnaround times, for instance you can get business cards the next business day if you are in a real pinch. You will pay significantly more for the expedited options, but in case you need them they are there.

PrintRunner Products:

  • Brochures
  • Business Cards
  • Calendars
  • Catalogs
  • CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Case Covers
  • Flyers
  • Letterhead
  • Postcards
  • Posters
  • Sales Sheets

PrintRunner Review – PrintRunner.com Coupon Codes

These are just a few of the products listed on their website. PrintRunner also offers professional design services for their printing products, if you need a custom made design they have a full design team. I always test the prices on printing websites to see how they change with quantity, and from what I can tell PrintRunner is slightly cheaper than average between all of the print services reviewed on this website for business cards and flyers but the shipping is typically slightly higher so it all evens out.

At the time of this review they currently hold an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau of L.A. PrintRunner.com has a workmanship guarantee on all products that they will be free from defects and they will reprint it or offer refund at their discretion if there is an issue with any of their products. They produce high quality products for very competitive prices, and they can get it done at the speed that is necessary for your business needs.

PrintPlace Review – PrintPlace Special Offer Code

printplacePrintPlace is based in Arlington, Texas with facilities spanning 200,000 sq. ft. giving them the ability to have fast turnaround times for their full color offset printing. Full color offset prints allow for the highest quality and the cheapest volume printing jobs, and due to the scale of their operation PrintPlace is able to provide 100% offset printing with turnaround times equal to digital printing. Gone are the days where you would have to order your business cards or brochures a couple weeks in advance of your business function.

Normally I am the type of guy that tries to keep everything local, but for my business the quote I got from the local business card shop was literally five times higher than online business card companies can offer due to the scale of their operations, and even though they need to ship it they can usually get it to your doorstep faster as well. The good thing about PrintPlace.com is that they are not only 100% based in the U.S., but all of the materials even down the packaging are made in America as well. Continue review...
