Launched in early May of this year, FreeCause’s new mall content management system, ShopCMS, hit an important early milestone by driving over $3 million dollars in sales for U.S. and international retailers in just it’s first 90 days in operation. The new software allows clients to build state-of-the-art online malls in less than an hour and feature popular shopping tools such as Deal of the Day promotions, Billboard Slideshows, and loyalty systems that award shoppers points or cash back.
Among the many features making this system unique in the marketplace, that ability for clients to build fully functional malls within social media environments (currently: Facebook, MySpace and Bebo) allows them to instantly monetize any existing applications they may have. In fact, the key to our system’s early success and high adoption rates has been the substantial existing userbase offered by social networks (sometimes numbered in the millions) as opposed to the “old” way of launching an online mall which is to launch and then drive customers there through expensive SEO tactics.
More to come!

No visit to the Left Coast would be complete without a stop at Commission Junction’s headquarters in sunny Santa Barbara, CA. Although weary after over 75 meetings with retailers and account managers from the Google tradeshow and CJ San Francisco office, the FreeCause team powered ahead and held a series of three 1-hour-long meetings with CJ’s top account managers. These were indeed worth the jet lag since the group represented some huge retailers such as HP, Dell Small Business and Apple.
This round of meetings sets the stage for one of the top events in the affiliate marketing industry, CJ University, which is a three-day event set in Santa Barbara every September which draws over 700 high-level marketing attendees. See you there!
