Bookshake is proud to be 100% New Zealand owned & operated daily deals website for New Zealand's most popular books.

Bookshake is not just another online bookstore, its home to some of the most lusted after authors from around the globe and more importantly New Zealand. You will be sure to find the perfect book for yourself or someone else. Bookshake not only offer books for standard online purchase, they also offer 4 books every day as daily deals at incredibly low prices.

The journey
Bookshake originally came to us in 2010 with a view to carry over 1 million titles online. They required a smart eCommerce website that could interface with the World's largest online book inventory system held in the UK. So we rolled up our sleevs and got stuck in.

We developed an online eCommerce website capable of mapping the UK database in a way that allowed Bookshake to dynamically feed off it by pulling out book related titles, images, descriptions, ISBN codes, author descriptions etc to use on their own website.

Staying true to the original scope, we decided to make even stronger enhancements to the system that allowed for even more automation, and less administration. This included developing functions that could speak directly between the two databases, and populate the bookshake database automatically. The result was seamless product feeds with minimal administration intervention.

From the customers point of view
The Bookshake eCommerce system also recognizes and rewards Bookshake's customers by offering reward points. Bookshake is also able to upsell books throughout the checkout process encouraging bigger conversion by offering last minute deals. Authors are linked into all books allowing Bookshake's customers to filter by author name. Modal shopping cart windows display everytime the user clicks add to cart. We utilised the modal shopping cart window to inject upselling techniques with an aim of increasing Bookshake's bottom line. The upselling function calculates the users shopping cart total and displays the dollar difference needed to achieve free shipping. Add to wishlist functions allow Bookshake's customers to store a gift list that they can send to friends and family.

What is THE primary goal for YOUR website? ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE more sales? OR gather more LEADS?

Most business owners understand the need for a website, but all too few understand what a website is really supposed to do. Your website is a delivery vehicle for your message, just like newspaper ads, postcards, telemarketing or direct-mail packages. And like those other devices, the Internet has its own checklist of requirements you must follow to make any campaign a success.

The design of a website is very important however there are other areas that have greater influence on your bottom line.

Beautifully designed websites do add value, there is no argument here. What’s important is how the designs are implemented to achieve maximum sales. This is where scoping the role of your website vs. your key business straegies becomes very important. Our free consultation service is designed to help you achieve this important step in developingyour business online.

A beautiful site will get your visitors in the right mood for buying your product however you can destroy this very quickly by adopting ineffective techniques that are all to common on the internet today.

IS YOUR OFFER COMPELLING? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IS YOUR OFFER IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS?

Whatever else your website does, it must contain a compelling offer that persuades visitors to identify themselves to you as a likely buyer. While direct-response marketers and copywriters have known about this lead-capture approach for decades,few mainstream businesses even know about this strategy.

Of course,this means you can out market and out maneuver virtually every one of your competitors simply by making a specific offer to visitors who visit your site.

Not only that, but there’s a lot of future revenue in a carefully built list of names like this, but most companies either don’t have a list or don’t market effectively to the list they’ve built.

BESPOKE DEVELOPMENT VS TEMPLATED DEVELOPMENT, what’s the difference? does it really matter?

The benefits really come down to your business strategy. Templated systems come with the added benefit of price cost saving. If you’re looking for a foot in the eCommerce World as a means of testing then templated systems will work very well for you.

Bespoke systems are here for businesses that have unique business concepts, branding that need to be employed into eCommerce software online.

SEO ALONE WILL NOT BRING YOU REVENUE, IT DOES HOWEVER GENERATE TRAFFIC.

You could spends thousand’s on SEO and not realise the true earning potential of all that traffic until you engage a professional development firm like Eazyshop.

Of course, once you understand what a home-page offer, data-capture mechanism and lead-conversion system can do for your company—it makes sense to put all this in place to take advantage of SEO.
