Conversion Splash plugin for Joomla 1.5 - Convert Your Visitors Print

What is the primary goal of your website?

 

Want to increase your sales by 40%?

Want to double your conversion rates?

Want to grow your mailing list by 800%?

Want more signups to your Joomla website?

 

Here's the deal.

People are LEAVING your website.

That's to be expected, right?

But here's what sucks...

They're leaving WITHOUT TAKING ACTION!

 

You work so hard to market your website to get the visitors to show up, so why not try everything possible to get them converted into a customer, registered member, a mailing list subscriber?

 

Did you ever wish that you could have a second chance at making a sale?

 

The Conversion Splash plugin for Joomla 1.5 will give you that SECOND CHANCE!

 

Here's how it works and it is SO SIMPLE!

 

This tiny, yet powerful little plugin script allows you to gain a second chance to convert your website visitors.

 

  1. You get a visitor to your site.
  2. That visitor reads some content and looses interest.
  3. That potential customer closes the browser window to leave your site.
  4. When that happens the potential customer gets a popup window with your custom text in it asking them to click the OK button.
  5. Then the potential customer is redirected to your "upsell page" where you get a second chance to convert that visitor into a customer, registered member, mailing list subscriber, or all three.

 

Turn Your Exit Traffic into Pure Cold Hard CASH

Wednesday, 18 February 2009
We have some policy changes that we need to make clear regarding our support.

1. We will only support websites that are running the LATEST versions of Joomla 1.0 and 1.5. So whatever the current release is for these 2 versions is what we will support. You should ALWAYS be running the latest version of Joomla anyway for security reasons. PERIOD!

2. We will only support websites that are running PHP5 as PHP4 is not even supported by Joomla since version 1.5.7 was released.

When posting a support ticket, please make sure you provide us all of the requested information that we are asking in the ticket form. Not providing us with your website information will only delay the support that we can provide to our customers. After all, how can we offer support if there is not any information for us to help you with?

 We are proud to release our brand new component - ELECTIONS PRO

Election Pro is the first ever electoral component for Joomla. Election Pro allows you to have an election with many positions available. You can have nominees that can sign up to run for office and other users can vote as to who gets elected to a certain position.

 

compat_15_native.png compat_10.gif


Overview


Election Pro is much more than just a poll or rating software. If you are a company or non-profit association, etc and you hold  yearly or occasional elections then this is the extention for you.

 

Election Pro works great for electing people into positions for:

 

Company Board of Directors

Committees

School boards

Associations

And anything else you would need to vote a person into a position.

 

  • Increase voter turnout – typically by 50 to 100 per cent
  • Run a smooth unchallenged election
    Highly secure, accurate, no risk of repeat voting
    Secure anonymous voting or use transparent voting when appropriate

 

 

Save time, money and effort

Run high security online elections and avoid all the cost, effort and expense of printing, posting and counting paper ballots. People can vote from anywhere and the result is immediate.

 

 


Feature List

 

Configuration Settings

Send an email to a preset email address when the election has ended

Custom date format settings for your location

Record vote by user ID, IP address or both

Send notification to users at the end of election

Allow the users to nominate more then one person for a position

Show result for winners only or for all nominees

 

Customizable language file

Edit the language file directly from within the Election Pro control panel

 

Custom automated email templates

 Easily customize the emails that are automatically sent from Election Pro

Nominee email is automatically sent out to the user that has been nominated for a position in your election. This email will allow the nominee to either accept or decline the chance to participate for that position in the election.

 

Results email is the email that will be sent to all participants letting them know that the election has ended and that the results of the election are now available.

Special tags can be used to customize the emails to include many details of the elections

 

 Election Manager

You can have as many elections as you wish going on at one time.

Add descriptions of what your election is about.

Choose your election start and end dates.

Choose which date range you will allow people to actually vote on.

Single or multiple day voting.

Choose to allow only registered users to vote or allow the public to vote.

 

 Positions

You can have an unlimited amount of positions available for people to be elected. These positions could be for example
President
Vice Presitent

Treasurer, and so on

 

 Nominees

 Nominees and others that are running for a position can upload a photo of themselves and also provide a short bio or description of why they should be elected for the position which can be publicly viewed prior to the actual voting date. A user can be nominated for multiple positions if he chooses to run for that position.

 

Election Resilts

Election results can be displayed to the website front end or be kept private.

Elections results can show only the winners of the various positions or it can show the losers also and the percentage of vites received for each person.

We are very pleased to announce a few new versions of our products.

 

Event Registration Pro  is now released with a Joomla 1.5 native version available. This new version works with Joomla 1.5 legacy mode on or off without conflict. This new version also supports integration with Community Builder version 1.2. The 1.5 native version is not an upgrade to the previous Joomla 1.0 compatible version and is a seperate purchase. However we are offering a 50% discount to existing Registration Pro customers that wish to upgrade to this new Joomla 1.5 native version of this component. Existing customers should post a support ticket to get the coupone code.

 

Joomlearn LMS SIlver Edition is available with minor bug fixes but most importantly it now has much more enhanced security for the training files. We are currently developing a Joomla 1.5 native version of this component to be released within a few weeks.

 

Pro Desk Support Center version 1.4 has been updated in both Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 native versions to address a medium level security vulnerability. We strongly advise all customers to update to this most current version.

For a long time I've wondered why commenting on articles hasn't been a stock feature in Joomla.  For the most part, I think probably 90% of websites today use the function as an essential way to allow publishers to communicate with their audience and gain valuable feedback from them.

Yesterday Water & Stone released the first extensive survey of market share in the open source content management system market. The survey shows that three systems lead the race: WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal. The survey concludes that these three systems have opened up a large lead on the rest of the pack to become the dominant brands in the market. What remains to be seen is which of these three brands will emerge as the leader.

 

 The first extensive report written on market share in the open source CMS market. Covers 19 of the most popular systems in 50+ pages. Looks at a wide variety of both traditional and Web 2.0 metrics. Useful for anyone looking to commit to a web publishing system.
