Monthly Inspiration: January 2010 January 1st, 2010 By

Mara in BurberryCan you believe it?  Not only is it the start of a new year, but also the start of a new decade.  Now, I’ve never been one to reminisce or make resolutions every January 1.  In fact, I’ve often been known to quote my grandmother, a well-known social columnist in the 1960s, saying that “New Year’s is for amateurs.”  I’ve never needed a reason to pamper myself or start working out or try something new.  However, I’m feeling a little sentimental this year for some reason, and the idea of setting a few resolutions seems quite appealing.

Chatting with some friends around the beso office, a lot of us seem to be on the same page.  In our personal lives, we’re all looking to start eating better and work out more.  I will personally be picking up a few nutritional cookbooks and will be seeking inspiration in some new lululemon athletica gear.  We all want to embrace life with a new passion and not be afraid to push our own limitations.

Professionally, we’ll still be pushing ahead with our own collective mission of delivering all of the brands and stores you love on beso (with the best prices, of course).  We recently added the favorites feature to the site, and the feedback has been excellent.  I hope you’ll take the time to check it out.  Now tell me, what are some of your resolutions?

How do you beso lucky?  With beso.com!

Happy shopping,

Mara

Creating Personalized Searches: Saving Favorites November 4th, 2009 By

As a beso user, you have the ability to view customized product results based on all of your favorite brands and stores. This is a simple, two-step process where you tell us what you like, and then you apply it to any search or category experience.

Here’s how:

1. How do I ‘favorite’ stuff while browsing beso?

  • You can favorite three things: brands, stores and products.
  • Whenever you see see a little icon, like this heart just click it. The heart will turn purple, and now we know it’s one of your favorites: favorited
  • The hearts are available throughout the site: on individual product offer pages, on brand and merchant storefronts, and on all of the carousels when you navigate to our store and brand views.  For example:
    Favoriting on carousels

    Favoriting on carousels

  • Didn’t mean to click it?  Simply click the heart again to remove it from your favorites.

2. How do I pick all my favorites all at once?

  • Go to your Favorites tab from the ‘My beso’ link on the global navigation. It looks like this:

My beso

My beso

  • From the Favorites tab, select ”edit and add more favorites” to pick more favorites.
  • This will send you to our Store & Brand Directory, where you can select hearts to your heart’s content!

3. I told you my Favorites, but why should it matter to me?

  • Anytime you use the refinement pod on a search results page, you’ll find a section that includes your favorites within that search result or category.
  • Simply select the favorites you wish to refine by, either individually or by clicking  ”Select all favorites”.
  • Select any other brands or stores in our Popular section or alphabetized list.
  • Hit the Refine Now button and view your customized results.

Here’s what the refinement pod looks like for someone who likes these stores:

Choose your Brands

Choose your Brands

  • Additionally, once you are logged in, the Recently Viewed section of ‘My beso’ will keep track of what you’ve checked out most recently, and the Favorites tab maintains all your saved favorites!
  • Your saved favorites allow you to quickly find the all-in-one storefronts for your favorite stores and brands, such as the brand page for 7 for All Mankind. Just click on the brand or store name.
  • If you opt into our email newsletter when signing up, we’ll soon send you email alerts about sales, deals and new releases based on your favorite brand and store preferences.

The more you share your preferences, the more personalized and customized experience we will be delivering back to you. So sign up for an account today, pick your favorites and discover the unique power of the beso site experience!
