Site Status Update: 01/11/10
Today Atomic Mall unveils our sparkly new
Buy page. Nicknamed the "Impulse" page, it gives shoppers an ideal launching pad to begin their product searches, with many features that make the shopping experience easier and more intuitive. Among these are the ability to see ALL categories and sub-categories within a handy collapsible menu structure on page left, as well as a new site feature called the
Window Shopper. Atomic Mall - The "Impulse" Page
With the AM Window Shopper, you can input various scanning criteria and other parameters until your displayed results are close to what you're looking for. With your group locked in, you can then further refine the scans until your perfect object of desire is displayed, ready for a quick zoom and possibly even an offer or purchase - all while remaining in one place - the cozy space afforded by the Window Shopper.
Selective content page loading means that only the portion of the page which has updated content will reload. The rest of the page does NOT require reloading for each new scan, resulting in much faster scan returns, and less frustrating shopping!
Check it out in Part 1 of Atomic Mall's new "FYI" series:

Also new on the "Impulse" page, and making its long-awaited return from the old Home page, is our new and refurbished
Seller Spotlight! Each Monday, a new Atomic Mall store will be selected for the Seller Spotlight, and will remain there for a full week. To qualify for selection, Sellers must keep their stores well-maintained, and keep excellent feedback. The various criteria for selection can be seen by clicking the "Info" link within the Seller Spotlight box.
Congratulations to
Uncle Mike's Rocket Shack for being the inaugural winner in Atomic Mall's rejuvenated Seller Spotlight feature!
The Seller Spotlight carries many of the same neat features as the Window Shopper, and can be used by shoppers, browsers and buyers to closely examine the displayed store for bargains, specialty items and all the other "must have" stuff they may have otherwise missed. It is primo, grade-A real estate on Atomic Mall, and to be selected is just like our slogan: "
kind of a BIG DEAL". :-)
So there it is -- the long awaited fix for one of the most pesky "voids" on Atomic Mall - a usable and intuitive page for shoppers looking to get their feet wet! With this update, Atomic Mall is officially at release
"1.9". The next scheduled update to bring us full circle into the much-ballyhooed "2.0" phase shall remain under wraps for now.
Happy sales,
Mike
