Best Practices
Gift cards in your catalog
Make sure your catalog has everything they want! Add a gift card to your online catalog. We have a few different versions, import one from our library and edit to include your store's gift card image. Be sure to add a Balance on Hand (BOH) quantity so they display as in stock!
Review your website traffic
This is the time of year to review your traffic to see what your shoppers were most interested in over the summer. Check your built-in traffic analytics, under Report Manager > Traffic or go to your Google Analytics. Where are your site visitors located? What pages were most popular? What words were used in a Site Search? Use the data to help you determine what to promote more. Anything missing near the top that you expected to be there? Let's work on your site to make sure you're dialed in! Contact
support@smartetailing.com for help, or
consider our marketing services to get help.
Curate your brands
SmartEtailing currently partners with 25 US and 8 Canadian suppliers and brands, allowing their products to display on your website if they are in the supplier warehouse. Review and update your settings under Supplier/Brand Manager > Supplier Sync to make sure you are showing customers the most possible items you can get for them.
Product & Development Updates
Website Templates Retiring December 1st
All SmartEtailing websites
must be migrated to one of our mobile-friendly website templates by December 1st. With so many people viewing your website from their phone, it's more important than ever to be on a template that looks great no matter what device your customers use. Many of the updates we've made to the SmartEtailing platform are only available on a responsive template. Don't get left behind!
We offer supported migration options, starting at just $500. Any template that is not mobile friendly will be unavailable at the end of this year.

Content Updates
California's Proposition 65
As of August 30, California's Proposition 65 ("Prop 65") regulations have changed, which means we now need to warn the end consumer about cancer and birth defects in every product in the online catalog. The SmartEtailing Content Team is adding a "Feature" to all product detail pages that fall under Prop 65, as seen in this awning. We are working to obtain this data from every brand we interact with, but we know some products may slip through the cracks, which is where we're relying on your help. Please fill out the form on this page to alert the Content Team to products in the SmartEtailing catalog that don't currently comply.
