Client Success Updates 

ADA Compliance

As you work on your website, ADA is always something you need to be aware of. Simple things can make a big difference to your site visitors, and things like alternative text are also helpful for search engine optimization. Read this blog post for more tips on ADA compliance or check out our newest blog post for how ADA applies to your website.

Limiting fraud on your website

Online sales went through the roof for most bike shop retailers over the last few months. Along with more online orders, comes more potential for fraud. Be sure to check our 'Fraud Alerts' at the top of your open order screen for trends we are seeing. For all orders you receive, do your due-diligence. Here are our Tips for Limiting Fraud. Reviewing incoming orders for potential fraud can help provide you the best protection (and best profit margin).

Orders for in-store pick up should always be carefully reviewed. Ask for the customer's ID and card to confirm the last 4 digits. Picking up a bike? Get their picture using #newbikeday as your reason. If they don't have the card or ID, do not give them the ordered products.

It may be hard to believe that the holiday season is around the corner, but it will be here before we know it. Now is the perfect time to get your website ready for the holiday season. Check out our 2020 Holiday Playbook for the tips & tricks to prepare your website.
