Or Black Monday, Black Tuesday, or just any day you get a traffic surge?
Two recent events in the Miva Merchant community reminded me of an issue that frankly, we don't promote too much: using Merchant Optimizer to handle traffic spikes.
Here's the story in brief. Recently two of our fellow store owners saw a a rapid spike in traffic: one due to a successful promotion, the other from a "media" incident. In both cases, the sites saw traffic levels rise to thousands of hits per minute, bringing their sites to a crawl. Potential customers where bailing left and right. Well, with some frantic and timely work from the site's developers, they where able to install our Merchant Optimizer and salvage what could have been a complete waste of potential customers. Their only regret was not having Optimizer already installed as they still lost thousands of opportunities to make a sale.
So, with that in mind, we are urging you to consider installing Merchant Optimizer BEFORE it becomes a must have. Even if you don't use it on a day to day basis, you can easily set it up to be ready to handle traffic spikes with one simple change. To make your decision easier, we've lowered the price of Merchant Optimizer to over 20% off MSRP until November 8th.
