How Discounts Apply to UMSS Users - May, 2008

Introduction

E-mail Print PDF

Hello:

A very busy spring here at UniformMarket! We now have over 115 uniform dealers and manufacturers using the UniformMarket Store System (UMSS). A few recent additions to our growing community of users are listed in our "new customers" section below.

We're also excited by our new partnership with Landau Uniforms. Landau has made a special licensed version of the UMSS available to their retailers that features real-time distribution center inventory and a drop-ship program – invisible to the shopper!  Look for more information on the Uniform Resource Landau Program in our June issue of the UMSS newsletter.

UniformMarket’s Highland Park, IL staff also moved this month, as I'm sure most of you have heard by now. Our new office is pictured on the left, and if you look very closely in the upper right hand corner of the building you might see us waving! We can finally spread out and get to working in less cramped quarters.

Lastly, we're excited to announce a UniformMarket Product Library (UMPL) newsletter, launching next Tuesday. It will be published every third Tuesday of the month, featuring catalogs and products that are of interest to all our customers. Look for it in your inbox next Tuesday!

Regards,

Rick Levine

What are discounts and how do they apply to me?

Did you know that the UniformMarket Store System has a Discount Module built into the system?

This module allows you to discount prices, offer coupons and set bulk pricing on one simple module.  You can set up a discount at the order level, the category level or the product level that allows you to offer discounts that don’t require entering any codes. 

For instance, you can offer a 10% discount on all polo shirts.  You would then set up a discount on the category “Polos” and all products in that category would automatically have a 10% discount while that discount is active.

You can also offer discounts that require entering coupon codes.  This is a great method to track marketing activity.  Coupons can be set to be active for specific periods of time, even future dated, so you can set up a series of coupons for limited times within the next quarter and when the future dates are hit, the coupons will be usable.  You can also set how many times a single customer can use a specific coupon.

Another feature the Discount Module allows is the creation of bulk pricing. 
Discounts
Bulk pricing uses a combination of the Discount Module and some coding in the Templates, so assistance from the programmers at UniformMarket would be needed to get started.

You can read more about the Discount Module in the Help Files in the link below:

Ready to start using Discounts, Coupons or Bulk Pricing?  Contact UniformMarket at 877-415-3300 and speak to either Anthony (ext. 206) or Jessica (ext. 203), your project managers.
