Have something to sell? Teamr has the solution!
We have a huge announcement for you. Possibly one of the most significant advancements to the teamr system to date. We have launched an integrated online storefront that you can add to your public website!
We were originally inspired by requests from some of our users. When you told us how difficult some of the online stores from other providers were to set-up and work with, we saw an opportunity. Once you set up your first
store with teamr, you will see exactly how easy it is - in less than 5 minutes you can have your store up and running. And of course your customers will find the purchase process just as easy.
Upgrade to Premium today and give it a shot!
In This Issue
We've been working on lots of things (it's even hard for us to keep track sometimes), but this newsletter will focus on our two landmark improvements - Premium Pro and the Storefront.
Technology Update
* Eliminate Ads with Premium Pro
* Set up your own Storefront
On The Burner
* See what we are working on for next month.
Premium Pro - No Ads Looks Better
You understand that we need ad revenue to stay up and running, and we understand that there are times when you don't want them there. Up until now all we could do was keep them as unobtrusive as possible, but
now we are able to offer you another level of service that allows you to completely eliminate ads from both the website and email and SMS messages.
We call it Premium Pro and it is ideal for users who are looking to manage their contacts list in a more professional looking manner. All the custom emails you want, built with our HTML editor, and sent without any ads! Whether
you use the system for managing your contacts and sending email newsletters, promoting your new product or service, or reaching fundraising candidates this is a perfect solution.
Pricing is based on the number of contacts in your account and follows this straightforward pricing schedule:

Your Very Own Online Store!
Setting up your Store. Your first online store begins on your My Account screen. Here, you upgrade to Premium (or Premium Pro) and set up your PayPal account to handle web payment transactions.
The next step is going to the Website Manager, where you set the look and feel of your store and add content. You'll notice here there are some additional improvements to the entire process. The Colors/Layout page is better
organized and there's a new Store tab.
The new store manager puts everything you need in one place
Under the Store tab, you can add items and categorize those items. You can have as many categories as you like.
You can also set goals for your sales. You can choose your goals to be public, so that they will appear on the website. This is especially useful for accepting donations for a cause.
Set and track multiple sales goals
Finally, you can see reports about your sales. Look at sales over any time period. You can view all sales, each category, or each individual item.
Sales reporting is flexible and detailed
We designed everything under the mantra of simplicity. Click on the Store tab to view your items, add them to your shopping cart, and check out. It's that simple.
The final result looks great and is easy to use
You can see a live example at our very first online store -

We're going to
create a new search function for your team, so if you want our 20,000+
users to be able to find your team, they can do so.

Join the Teamr Inner Circle
Doug, our VP of Operations, has officially launched a blog site using our website builder. It is a great place to see how your public site can look, and if you have any article suggestions or best
practice ideas you want to share with others, let us know and we can post them there. Visit the site at
http://management.teamr.com and be sure to request to join the team when you get there.
Note: due to a problem with our "Request to Join the Team" function, this wasn't working for a couple weeks. If you tried to join the team recently, it may not have worked, so please go back to that
site and request it again. Sorry for the inconvenience (we are human, after all).
Know someone who could use teamr?
Forward this email to a friend or colleague who might be interested in using a state-of-the-art team management software platform.
As always, we appreciate any
feedback you have and hope that you are enjoying teamr and our family of sites! Stay tuned for more upgrades coming soon!
A history of previous upgrade announcements is available on our
Technology History page.
Until next time,
Lars, Doug and Rocky
Founders,
Synchronous Technologies Group Inc.
