Sprechen Sie Deutsch?  Spreek jij Nederlands? We have some exciting news! The GoodBarber website is now available in German  and Dutch ! Our large community of users in Germany and the Netherland was already enjoying having their back office and apps in their respective languages, and now our website follows.  While we know that Germans and Dutch have a lot of facilities with the English language, we wanted to offer an even more pleasant user experience, so it seemed important to us that the GoodBarber website exists in both these languages. GoodBarber's website is now in 7 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Dutch.

So, since last month, we've already added new triggers and actions to offer your more solutions to run your business efficiently.  You'll find new triggers for promocodes, abandoned orders, and new triggers and actions for your product catalog.  In this article, we'll focus on the promocode triggers.  

Cyber Monday is the biggest day for online shopping and it’s right around the corner.  What used to be a day for tech and electronics is now for every eCommerce and is part of a weekend (BFCM) which marks the start of the holiday shopping season  In 2020, amid COVID -19 concerns, shoppers chose to shop online more than ever and Cyber week broke all e-Commerce records.  According to Adobe, a record $10.8 billion was spent online by the end of Cyber Monday, an increase of 15.1 %  YoY, making it the largest online shopping day in U.S. history and beating last year’s $9.4 billion record.  What’s more is smartphones accounted for 41.1 percent of revenue during the five-day period, up 7.4 % year over year. So how do you stand out in the crowd and compete with the big deals from the big brands? Think mobile-first. If you are just starting as an eCommerce with your GoodBarber Shopping, it is a great time to make your entrance on the market as more and more customers are turning to their mobile to complete their holiday shopping. Your Shopping App gives you an edge over other retailers. Retailers who have a Shopping App register 3X more conversions than their website. 

This November 14, 2021, GoodBarber celebrated its 10th anniversary, just like the release of the iPhone 4s, the birth of Siri, the birth of iCloud or the beginning of 4G in France. A lot has changed since then; the world has evolved and GoodBarber has evolved with it. In 10 years, our interfaces have changed, our applications have developed; there are more of us and our users too. It's time to look back at the creation of GoodBarber and these 10 years of adventure.  But it wasn't all built in one day. If GoodBarber is announced in 2011 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the adventure really starts 10 years earlier, in 2001, when Sebastien Simoni, the current CEO of GoodBarber launches WebzineMaker. These years of reflection, development and innovation have made it possible to create powerful, customizable applications without going through the coding stage. This philosophy has guided us throughout the creation and development of GoodBarber, in a logic of perpetual renewal. 

As an expert and app reseller, you must be ready at all times to respond to the solicitation of a potential lead, or a future contributor. Whether in a public or private setting, you should regularly have a pitch ready for any eventuality. The best is to have a proven pitch for different situations.   So the principle of the pitch is simple. The goal is to prove in a few minutes the interest and the merits of your product or service. Whether it's for your current business or for a business in creation. The original name is "Elevator pitch" to illustrate the fact that your speech must fit in a time frame as short as an elevator ride.   And the shorter the pitch, the more specific it should be. In this article, we'll try to be exhaustive, so you'll have to pick and choose from the information we give you to build (and test...) the best pitch possible.

This month we're releasing a new feature on our Classic platform, that our Shopping App clients are already familiar with: Universal Links and App Links.

These links are a quick and easy way to engage or re-engage users, improve retention and increase conversion.   You will find below the summary of the improvements and updates made during the month of September 2021:

Several years ago, advertising and marketing agencies started adding website development as the new preferred tool to promote a company's business. If there's no arguing that having a digital identity is an absolute necessity, a virtual location is becoming almost more important than a physical office, now, on top of a desktop presence, a mobile app is the new requirement. In that respect, a native mobile app counts as one of the most versatile marketing assets a business can hope for. It's the ideal medium to address clients' expectations. At the same time, thanks to app builders, it's become quite easy to create an app.

During this month of August, our teams have mainly focused on the maintenance of our platform while taking some time off to enjoy our beautiful Corsican beaches.  Why no new features for this month you may ask ? Well, without giving out any spoilers, we have a few big releases planned for the last quarter of the year ;) We wanted to make sure that everyone here was well-rested and full of energy for what's coming next! So, stay tuned... You can find below a summary of the developments and updates made for the month of August

At the WWDC 2021 on June 7th, Apple announced new features about iOS 15  that will affect important aspects of mobile apps and the Apple App Store, from an app marketing strategy and ASO perspective.  Indeed, App Store Connect will soon be offering with the Custom Product pages (CPP) new capabilities for App Store’s app product pages.

Android App Bundle will now replace APK. Learn how to migrate your Android Apps to new App Bundle format and how to publish new apps for Android 11

This month it's all about Android. Your GoodBarber Android apps are now optimized for Android 11. And this update has made a lot of noise among Android app developers.  Android apps have historically been distributed as APKs. If you are not familiar with what an .apk file is, know that it is the file that is produced as the result of the development of your app. Android Package Kit (APK) is the file format used to distribute and install apps and make them work on Android devices.  Starting this week, the APK has been replaced by the AAB format.  You will find below all the updates and improvements for the month of July 2021.

Start off right by optimizing your app store listing from the beginning. Follow these ASO tips on how to rank higher, maximize exposure, optimize your conversion, and stay up to date.
