Hello:
It has been a busy month here at
UniformMarket. Many new dealers have signed up to begin
using the UniformMarket Store System to manage their
online sales. See the list of sites in development on
the left below.
First this month, we are pleased to announce a
Discount Postcard Design and Printing service. UniformMarket
will maintain a fixed price schedule for all UMSS users to
order postcards. The prices include graphic design and all
printing costs for 4-color cards!
Next, Samuel Broome Uniform Accessories has made their products
available via the UniformMarket Product Library. We now have
193 products available for UMSS users to import upon request
(UMPL import rates apply).
Lastly, do you have a headache thinking about how to get
a product that changes prices based on color AND size into
your online store? The UMSS has a SKU generator! We use the
tool ourselves when we need to add products into the UMPL
or a UMSS user's site. So, this month, I try to explain how
to use the tool here in our newsletter.
Enjoy!

QUESTION:
What's an easy way to increase business?
ANSWER: Sell more to the customers who already buy from
you!
To help you spread the word about your new, improved, existing
or soon to arrive web site, UniforMarket is pleased to offer
a postcard design and printing service. Prepare a mass mailing
to customers or prospects... Use them to stuff into every
order you ship out... Pass them out to customers visiting
your store....
How does it work? We will take a quality
screen shot of your home page and put it on
the front of the card in full color. Then, you can provide
us with a custom sales message for the back side. Or, just
run an ad on the back side saying "Order Online at www.UniformCompany.com".
We have an example layout for you on this page. You can
also place your order from there.
We make it simple to order. We make it inexpensive.
Example prices, start-to-finish, designed and printed:
ALL CARDS ARE 4-COLOR, DOUBLE SIDED,
Premium 15pt. Card Stock with Glossy U/V Coating.

Yikes! How many SKUs does
this product have?! And the prices are all different? Don't worry... SKU generator is here.
We all know the products that instill the greatest fear
for uniform sales organizations... a single product that
comes in multiple colors and sizes, with price shifts for
color and oversizes.
The UniformMarket Store System has a SKU generator that
tackles this exact problem. By selecting the right options,
a product in the UMSS system can be entered very quickly
(compared to most software systems, that is).
You can follow an example from the pictures (follow link
to see bigger picture if desired). The product is available
in white, blue and pink. White will use the base price of
$26.30, but blue will increase the price by $1.00 and Pink
by $2.00. The product will come in small through 4X-large,
with 2X adding 10% to the price, 3X adding 15% and 4X adding
25% to the base price (per color).
Here are the specific steps to set generate the SKUs at
the desired prices.
USING THE SKU GENERATOR:
1. Add a new product (if you haven't already) by clicking
ADD NEW in the UMSS Admin
2. Enter all appropriate GENERAL DATA you care to:
- Remember
to also select the product options upon which your
SKUs will be built (color, alpha size, neck, sleeve, waist,
etc).
- This is where you also enter a BASE PRICE from which
all the other price adjustments will be calculated.
3. Click the CREATE SKUs tab along the top of the product
screen.
4. Select the options from each column that apply to that
product.
- If the column is COLOR, then check the boxes of
the colors the product comes in.
- If the column is ALPHA
SIZE then select the sizes the product is available
in.
5. Enter your price adjustments
- If the product is available in multiple colors and some
colors bump the price, then use the PRICE ADJUSTMENT
columns to instruct the SKU GENERATOR how to calculate
the price adjustment. You can set it to replace the entire
price, add a specific amount to the base price or add a
percentage of the base price to the price.
- If the product is available in multiple size configurations
and some sizes bump the price, then use the PRICE ADJUSTMENT
columns to instruct the SKU GENERATOR accordingly.
6. Click SHOW. This will generate a preview of all the possible
SKUs the system can generate based on your selection of options
(colors and sizes, for example). You will see the system
calculated each SKUs price for you according to your instructions.
7. Select the SKUs you actually wish to create by clicking
on select boxes in first column Or, if you want all of
them use the select all check box at the top of the column
8. Click CREATE. This is last step and the point at which
SKUs will actually be generated and moved to the GENERAL
SKUs area of the product.
Don't panic though. You can always go back, delete SKUs
and start over!
You can also schedule a training session with a UMSS production
team member (included in your monthly licensing). Email us
at support@uniformmarket.com to
schedule a training session.
Another how-to page related to the SKU GENERATOR is also
available
here.
