#6. Magento Is Awarded “Best Shop System” By T3n Community

In November, T3n, Germany’s leading print magazine revolving around e-Business, open source and web technologies, recently awarded Magento “Best Shop System” award at the ConventionCamp internet conference award ceremony in Hanover, Germany. For eight weeks readers of the magazine voted on the most innovative and pioneering products, projects and services, casting over 60,000 votes, 20,000 nominations within 18 categories. Magento was one of ten finalists in the “Best Shop System” category. Congratulations!

In May, Magento Answers was launched by Magento developers. It is a one-stop source of information for all of your Magento Questions. Now you can ask a question and can get a qualified answer you need.

#3 Magento Connect Became More User-Friendly!

In October, Magento Connect 2.0 was updated to make it easier for merchants to connect with more developers. It provides Magento merchants with a seamless experience to discover and take advantage of core, community and commercial extensions. Magento Connect is the most visible way to get your work out to users.

#2 Magento Go Was Introduced At Imagine eCommerce Conference

In February, SaaS service designed hosted software-as-a-service solution that provides small and growing merchants with the tools to help them succeed online. Many retailers are really satisfied with it and run prosperous business.

#1  June, 12 + X.commerce Was Announced

In June, eBay announced the creation of X.commerce (on the same day they announced their plans to acquire Magento!) X.commerce brings together the power of eBay, PayPal, Magento, and other eBay Inc. partners to create the future of technology-powered buying and selling.

This news rapidly became #1 all over e-commerce. John Donahoe, President and Chief Executive Officer, eBay Inc., said :

“Technology-driven innovation is blurring the lines between online and offline commerce, changing the way consumers shop, and enabling retailers of all sizes to benefit from the latest innovations from the developer community”.

We wish X-Commerce group being successful in driving global commerce innovation for retailers and consumers next year!

Moreover, this year was full of events. So, the merchants had opportunity to be the participants in many Magento conferences. Let’s remember:

Hope that all these events passed with benefits for you and you got a lot of positive emotions!

What concerns MageWorx, we have ambitious plans for 2012 year: to launch new services, release new extensions and a lot of updates, broaden our community and to do our best in improving our customer service the other 366 days of the year! Thank you for your support!

May you achieve success in every facets of life and all your heartfelt wishes comes true. Wishing you the coming year to bring more features, more extensions, more events for Magento world and prosperous business for you!

With respect, your MageWorx.

Yes, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have passed. Most people get satisfied with the deals they’ve bought. And retailers are counting benefits…

But are they really the biggest online shopping days of the year? Well, no. You should be aware of, at least, two more great shopping days – Green Monday and Brown Monday, which are not so familiar in comparison with Black Friday and Cyber Monday but nevertheless…

Green Monday is an online retail industry term similar to Cyber Monday. The term was coined by eBay to describe their best sales day in December, traditionally the 2nd Monday of December.

“It isn’t Black Friday and it isn’t Cyber Monday,”

says eBay spokesperson Wendy Sept. “Green Monday is the day that people actually go online and buy”. It marks the deadline for online shopper’s, the last chance to order items without paying for shipping. Surely, it’s basically the “trigger day” when people realize: “I’d better do my purchases today to make sure they will be delivered on time for Christmas”. Let’s focus on some numbers. According to comScore statistics of previous year, it was reported that “Green Monday” sales for 2010 were up 12% over 2009 figures, making it the second heaviest online spending day behind Cyber Monday.

And what can we say about another color holiday – Brown Monday? It’s last Monday before Christmas. It’s the time when merchants post their most aggressive discounts and for customers it’s mad dash to get presents for Christmas. This day you can do your last-minute free shipping with guaranteed holiday delivery.

Don’t miss and keep in mind these two days:

Green Monday: December, 12

Brown Monday: December, 19

Actually, why the color theme becomes so popular for main shopping days definitions? Suppose, it’s like a standard media-commercial complex for promotion. Retailers just choose the set of similar days before Christmas (Mondays) for getting the profits. Mass media makes a rush about it. And that’s all that people need.

And what do you think: is it just a row of associations or a kind of magic bullet thinking?

* Don’t forget to check MageWorx website on Green and Brown Mondays

Cyber Monday is a time for breaking online holiday shopping season. It’s really the harvest day for online retailers. Let’s view the statistics of the last year holiday season in comparison with 2009 that was conducted by comScore.

This survey showed that 212 million shoppers visited stores and websites over the holiday weekend – that’s an increase of over 17 million from 2009. Cyber Monday reached $1.028 billion in online spending, up 16 percent versus a year ago, representing the heaviest online spending day in history and the first to surpass the billion-dollar threshold.

Impressive statistics, isn’t it? This year is going to be no worse!
