Cool Gel Mat chooses Merchant Warrior

Summer is coming! And with that in mind we are happy to announce one of our most recent clients –  Cool Gelmat.

Introducing the Cool Gelmat,a special cooling mat that will provide users who struggle with heat issues with comfort and relief especially during the warmer months when many people find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

“Anyone trying to keep cool during summer will find relief with the Cool Gelmat, without the electricity bill,” says Nicky Buckley.

How does the Cool Gel Mat work?

The unique heat absorbing gel eliminates excess body heat allowing you to experience cooling relief for up to 2 hours, thus encouraging a comfortable night’s sleep and the opportunity to cool the body and fall asleep more easily.

The Cool Gelmat requires no electricity to stay cool or to recover its cooling ability, so you can enjoy instant relief again and again without ongoing power costs.

Cool Gelmat ambassador Nicky Buckley said the product is great for the whole family, especially during the warmer months; with rising electricity costs many families are wary of how much they switch on the air conditioner.

“Anyone trying to keep cool during summer will find relief with the Cool Gelmat, without the electricity bill,” Nicky said.

“It can be used not only when lying in bed, but also sitting on the couch, at the office, while travelling, or even while doing exercise such as yoga or Pilates.”

“The Cool Gelmat is quite outstanding. Anyone undergoing oncology treatment such as radiation therapy or experiencing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis may benefit from the Cool Gelmats cooling relief.”

What else do I need to know?

The Cool Gelmat comes in three sizes to accommodate different mattresses and a range of uses. These sizes include pillow size to target smaller areas like the head or feet, up to its largest size, which can fit two across on a king size bed.

Cool Gelmat’s manufacturing process is patented which means it is the only one that always stays flat and never goes lumpy – ensuring years of hassle-free cooling relief.

The Cool Gelmat is currently available from Chemmart, National Pharmacies, Pharmores Pharmacies, Bedshed, Snooze, Forty Winks, Sleep Doctor, Dreamland Bedding and Bedroom, Beds’R’us, Home Express, Sleeping Giant, Regal Mattress.

MW Supports Cart66

MW Integrated with Cart66 – FINALLY!

It has definitely been a long time coming and an integration that has been requested by so many Australian merchants. Cart66 is an eCommerce plugin for the popular blogging software wordpress that enables merchants to “sell electronics, digital downloads, videos, music, web hosting, legal services, collect membership fees, and more.”Cart66

Over the past few months we have had an overwhelming number of requests to have the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway integrated with the Cart66 plugin. The lack of support for an Australian payment processing option made the extremely flexible and popular Cart66 plugin unusable for many Australian merchants.

We feel extremely lucky to have been contacted by Dante Chichizola @dchichizola a senior web developer from Macintype Design who registered his interest in integrating the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway into the Cart66 plugin.

Thanks to the efforts of Dante an Australian payment option finally exists for the Cart66 plugin! The plugin can be found at the Merchant Warrior Developer Zone or by clicking here.

We will be contacting the great team at Cart66 to have the plugin available with the professional version of the plugin. We understand they are extremely busy but do hope we manage to get this merged into their development cycle in time for their next release.

GIMME THAT!

Gimme Shopping Search AustraliaThe BEST way to shop online

Merchant Warrior is proud to support one of its clients in their new venture into the online shopping space. We believe that this is a great service that will not only benefit consumers but also benefit our merchants that are looking for greater exposure.

What is Gimme.Com.Au?

Gimme Shopping is an exciting new Australian shopping search and comparison service. The biggest problem for shoppers when using current shopping search sites is that they display results based on how much stores are paying them, not necessarily the best or cheapest results.  This means that shoppers are misled into thinking the products displayed at the top of search results are better, when in fact they are simply the stores who pay the most for a click.

While misleading search results should be a concern for shoppers, there are issues for online stores as well. Major shopping search services use a Pay Per Click (PPC) model to charge stores who list with them. This means that online stores pay for traffic in the form of clicks, even when the clicks are from a competitor checking prices or a customer simply doing research which don’t generate a sale.

Gimme Shopping’s unique model solves these problems.  At Gimme Shopping our results are pure and based only on matches to relevant product information such as product names and descriptions. Gimme Shopping prefers to use a Pay Per Sale (PPS) model whereby commission is only paid on verified sales, and at a rate set by the online store.  This is a much fairer model, and is risk free for online stores who don’t want to pay for traffic with no guarantee of results.

The Gimme Shopping performance based model certainly seems to have hit a chord with online stores with over 1000 stores partnering with Gimme in the first 6 months providing shoppers with easy access to millions of products across a huge range of categories including Electronics, Digital Cameras, Fashion, Wine and Home & Garden.

Visit Gimme Shopping to get the best results for products from a huge range of Australian online stores.  Research products before you buy and compare products and prices from Australia’s largest and fastest growing online shopping network.
