Check it out - We partnered with Zude to launch the Hayden Panettiere’s Closet at shopit.com/hayden. So far we’ve had close to $1000 in sales go through the store for Hayden’s save the whales again cause – not a bad start for a store we just launched! In addition to all of this, there is a promotion for people to go to Hayden’s homepage, click on her Fanbase and register for a Zude account; users will automatically be placed in a raffle for a bunch of autographed items from Hayden and The Whaleman Foundation. It’s a good cause!

‘Shopit Widget Promotes Me-Commerce’

The L.A. Tech community was alive and kicking at Rubicon’s “Thursdays In The Mix” event. The guest list ranged from start-ups to investors - with a little Rum to get things rolling. Rhett McNulty, Shopit’s COO, dazzled by the camera (or the rum?) gives his elevator pitch: 

The page to view the latest video commercials added by you, our users, has undergone major improvements. You can now browse lots more videos from more stores more clearly. The search also helps you find commercials by keyword, which proves useful when you have a good idea of what you’re trying to find.

We took a tip from Mashable and did a better job of linking each commercial to its store. We also added a display area for that store’s top 3 available items. If you want to draw attention to items you’re selling, adding a commercial is now an even better way to drive visitors to your store!

The video player itself also got a face lift. We will add more functionality improvements to it within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
