Bright Stores Newsletter January 2009

We’ve just returned from a wildly successful PPAI Expo in Las Vegas, where we launched our completely new look, website and product offering!  We were thrilled to have the opportunity to meet many of you in person and appreciate you taking the time to stop by our booth.  We are certainly feeling the excitement of a new year, as many of you are kicking off new company store programs with your clients.  As your technology partner, our goal in 2009 is to help you “Bring Your Company Stores to Life!” 

New Brightstores Website Resources:

We invite you to check out our new website at www.brightstores.com.  Here, you will find details on our new products, pricing, 6 new demo stores, online tours and many more resources to help you effectively market and sell more stores!  We will be updating our site over the next few weeks with even more useful information and tools.  Furthermore, we will soon be posting a schedule of our upcoming Webinar Series, which we plan to kick off in February.  In this series, we will be covering topics from our BrightStores University, including “Qualifying & Selling Company Stores, Running Successful Company Stores, and Bringing your Stores to Life!”   Specific dates and time will soon be posted under the “Resources” section on our website.

2009 Company Store Products & Pricing:

BrightStores is now offering 3 different levels of company stores:  Basic, Pro and Expert Stores.  Our Basic Stores start as low as $49/mo and can also be purchased in a “Classic Package,” for $0 License Fee and $99/mo for up to 15 Basic Company Stores.  As always, we offer the most robust, flexible and scalable system in the marketplace.  You can easily scale up from a Basic store to a Pro or Expert store as more advanced features and functionality are necessary.  We hope to be your one provider for ALL your company store needs.

On Demand Training Videos:

The Brighstores On Demand Training Videos are now live!  You can now click through any page of our “Company Store Manager,” and get immediate help on answering all of your company store questions.  You’ll notice a new video icon on the top of each page, which will automatically flag the appropriate training video for the page you are on.  This is just another resource for you to help make the process of administering your stores even easier. 

As always, we welcome your feedback and we look forward to hearing from you on how these new products and tools are working for you AND what more you would like to see from BrightStores in the coming year.
