- Strengthen customer relationships by reducing backorders and refund
- Manage stores with ease with access to inventory health indicators, at-a-glance
Landing Pages
Do you have multiple stores with a single school, business, or organization? Our new Landing Page feature allows you to create and manage custom landing pages within the OMG app, which brings these stores together under a single URL. Additionally, you can use landing pages to manage:
- Complete branding control over banners, logos, colors & links
- Links to existing stores or external URLs
- Providing a centralized hub for all of an organization’s stores
With 4 stores on average per organization, landing pages have been popular this year. And for good reason! Our data shows that landing page stores had 107% higher sales compared to non landing page stores. In addition, stores with landing pages have amassed an average volume of $5.8K since their release. If you ask us, that’s more than enough reason to check them out. Read our Help Center Article for more information on setting up landing pages.
