Have something to sell?  Teamr has the solution!

We have a huge announcement for you.  Possibly one of the most significant advancements to the teamr system to date.  We have launched an integrated online storefront that you can add to your public website!

We were originally inspired by requests from some of our users.  When you told us how difficult some of the online stores from other providers were to set-up and work with,  we saw an opportunity.  Once you set up your first store with teamr, you will see exactly how easy it is - in less than 5 minutes you can have your store up and running.  And of course your customers will find the purchase process just as easy.

Upgrade to Premium today and give it a shot!

Premium Pro - No Ads Looks Better

Your Very Own Online Store!

Setting up your Store.  Your first online store begins on your My Account screen.  Here, you upgrade to Premium (or Premium Pro) and set up your PayPal account to handle web payment transactions.

The next step is going to the Website Manager, where you set the look and feel of your store and add content.  You'll notice here there are some additional improvements to the entire process.  The Colors/Layout page is better organized and there's a new Store tab.

The new store manager puts everything you need in one place

Under the Store tab, you can add items and categorize those items.  You can have as many categories as you like.

You can also set goals for your sales.  You can choose your goals to be public, so that they will appear on the website.  This is especially useful for accepting donations for a cause.

Set and track multiple sales goals

Finally, you can see reports about your sales.  Look at sales over any time period.  You can view all sales, each category, or each individual item.

Sales reporting is flexible and detailed

The Purchase Process.  We designed everything under the mantra of simplicity.  Click on the Store tab to view your items, add them to your shopping cart, and check out.  It's that simple.

The final result looks great and is easy to use

You can see a live example at our very first online store - http://lunacatbooks.teamr.com

Technology Update

Selling documents, music, software, e-books, and other informational / data products through your store.  Sell your own writing, data, music or software.  Here's how it works.  We will use Lars' store as an example.  You can see the final product at http://simpletraveler.teamr.com

Set your download parameters here

Set up your item like any other item in your store.  At the bottom, you'll see a new optional area for your product, as pictured above.  All you need is the URL where your file is stored and the number of times you want a purchaser to be able to download the file.  You can easily store your files in your Media section and have them downloadable here.

Once a purchase has been made, the buyer will get an email with a link that will let the buyer download that file.  The URL of the file is always hidden, so no one will have access to your source file!  One more way Teamr ensures your experience with our store is the best it can be.


A whole new way to see your Projects.  Our new Gantt chart helps make sense out of all of your projects. 

Project management never looked so good!

The project manager now shows you graphical interpretation of all your active and completed projects.  The different colored bars represent the percentage those projects are complete.  And it shows you a line representing today, so you have an idea of how much time you have left to complete each project.

Email templates.  Premium accounts can use email templates to build really nice looking emails to send to your teams and groups.  In fact, if you want to use a special group just for emailing newsletters, you can now do that in the Team Setup page.

The new email sending area on the Home page

With email templates, you can use our existing templates (we custom made 40+ sweet looking templates just for you!), or you can build your own messages and save them in your Media section as templates.  These saved templates can then be recalled at any time!

Email templates have the same access control permissions as your other Media files.  You can share your emails with your team members or visitors to your public website, and you can make them available to all of your teams, or just the team you wrote the template for.  Total flexibility - it's what you're used to with Teamr!

Email templates are only available to Premium accounts - yet another reason to splurge that $4.95/month!

Doug, our VP of Operations, has officially launched a blog site using our website builder.  It is a great place to see how your public site can look, and if you have any article suggestions or best practice ideas you want to share with others, let us know and we can post them there.  Visit the site at http://management.teamr.com and be sure to request to join the team when you get there.

We would also like you all to welcome our newest staff member, Marlyn, who will be assisting with support issues and working with our users to maximize their enjoyment of the site.  You may be hearing from her in the next few weeks so don't be afraid to tell her what you think!
