Greetings from teamr and Synchronous Technologies
Volume 4 :: Edition 3 :: 16 Mar 2009



 





Fresh breezes, more sun, and upgrades!

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner!  Among other things, that means a lot of time in the car driving friends and family to soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, gymnastics, camp outs, and endless other character building endeavors…not to mention your own activities.  Good thing gas is down from $4 a gallon!  And it's also a good thing you have discovered our software. 

We are committed to making your life easier.  With that in mind, we have added all kinds of new features that make managing with your group faster, smoother, and more efficient!  Want to sell custom logoed gear for your group or club?  We have the solution!  Check out the technology update for more details.

And we want you to know that we are not a faceless company that doesn't listen to our users…quite the opposite.  We are here to answer your questions and help you maximize your experience.  Contact us and let us help.  We've also added our company page to Facebook.  Next time you log in, search for "Teamr" and become a fan!

Technology Update

Sell your own gear.  Through our partnership with Prep Sportswear, you can now sell T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, pants, and all kinds of cool gear through your website.  Just go to the Website Manager and on the Layout page, you'll see a new area called "Sportswear / Gear".  Click on that to set up your Gear store - it's super fast and super easy!


Just fill in your store details on the Website Manager
and see exactly how your gear will look

Marketplace / Directory.
  You finally have a place to post your site to all of our 25,000+ (and growing users)!  Do you have a scouting product that you think scouting troops all over the world could use?  With our new Marketplace you can get it in front of all MyScoutLink users just by entering a few keywords.  Reach the exact market segment you  are targeting and get your product in front of the right people.

From the Home page click on the Teamr Marketplace link and see what is out there right now. 


Check out all the stores that are currently part of the marketplace

Tracking abandoned carts.  When running any kind of business, information is the key to success.  You need to know how many people visit your site, how many people purchase your product, and how much these people spend.  Teamr tells you all this and more.  Now you can even keep track of the visitors to your online store who added items to their shopping carts, but then didn't purchase anything. 


From the Store tab on the Website Manager, choose Reports to view
sales information including abandoned carts

They were interested in your product, but didn't go through with the deal…why not?  Maybe your shipping was too expensive, or maybe it was something else.  We give you all the information you need to run your online business effectively.

Clean contacts.  We spent so much time making it easy to import and add contacts that we almost forgot people would actually want to remove them!  If you have a lot of contacts in your account, you may want to be able to clean out that list so it's easier to manage.  We made a little function that makes it a simple, two-step process.  If you have over 20 contacts in your account, you will see a new broom icon in the top right - this will allow you to mass-remove people who are not on any teams.



Look for the broom icon to quickly clean up your contacts list

Click on the Clean icon and you will see a list with all the contacts that are not on any of your teams.  Check the box next to each one you want to remove, click Delete, and they are gone!  Nothing to it.

On the Burner

  • Widgets!  Pretty soon you will be able to view your Teamr events in a window on your Facebook or Google homepage.  It's a simple process and helps keep you up to speed on upcoming events.
  • All Day & Multiple Day Events.  We've heard a lot about this feature and we are in the process of making it happen.  No longer will you have to assign times to an event or create additional events to cover multiple days. 

You have 3 kids, 2 cars, and 4 soccer games this Saturday...

Manage your roster, track stats, assign positions.  It's all here.  And not only can you manage your team, but now you can sell custom gear with your team name and colors.

teamr Sites:

Be sure to tell your friends about teamr's sites. Everyone knows someone that could benefit from our free tools!

  Eliminate the Ads from Your Website and Email Messages:
We think we do a pretty good job of keeping our advertising out of the way, but we also understand there are times when you don't want it there at all.

Upgrade to Premium Pro and you never have to see an ad again!  Plus, emails are much easier to work with once you are using the whole width of your screen.

Follow us on Facebook and at our own Teamr Website

Search for "teamr" on Facebook to find our company site or visit our very own site at http://management.teamr.com and be sure to request to join when you get there.

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!
