This is Why Grow Your Business Online Grant Winners Choose Uplifter
Below, we detail 7 reasons why Uplifter is the perfect tool for Grow Your Business Online Grant winners to sell programs and services online.
1) A trusted e-commerce solution:
Uplifter has been delivering e-commerce solutions for activity businesses for over a decade. This means that grant winners who choose Uplifter will get a solution that’s trusted and optimized. By serving over 1.5 Million participants across Canada, the USA and Europe, Uplifter’s system has been consistently streamlined for faster, smoother registration sales, invoicing and administration.
2) An easy-to-use solution for complex operations:
We know that people who receive the Grow Your Business Online Grant are busy, and their businesses have lots of moving parts. If they just needed a basic ecommerce solution, they would have set one up already. But, let’s face it, running a successful business is complex. That’s why grant winners need e-commerce software that covers all of their business complexities in an efficient and easy-to-use way. Uplifter does just that.
Note: It’s important to differentiate between easy-to-use software and basic software. Basic software can only handle basic e-commerce. This software may actually be built around other features like waivers, with registration added as an after-thought. That won’t cut it.
Service based business owners need a complex registration and management solution that can meet all of their needs with an easy user experience.
With Uplifter, you get all the required complexity in an easy-to-use package.
This means your customers will be able to easily register and purchase products, while your business can handle all the complexity of your day-to-day. When Grow Your Business Online Grant winners choose Uplifter, they get a system that meets their complex needs and helps them grow.
3) Get an all-in-one website with your Grow Your Business Online Grant:
Consolidate your business needs with one intelligent system that includes an all-in-one website. Uplifter provides Grow Your Business Online Grant winners with a fully-customizable, mobile-friendly website alongside their e-commerce software. No need to try and integrate your e-commerce software with a third party website, Uplifter provides a seamless and comprehensive solution.
An All-in-one website isn’t just convenient for business owners, it also provides a superior user experience.
Users won’t be worried about clicking a link on your website and being taken to a completely different looking registration page. And, they won’t be faced with an awkward looking third-party iFrame integration.
With Uplifter, the e-commerce checkout experience is a breeze and it matches your website. This means your users will have higher levels of confidence in your transactions. As an added bonus, you can use your own unique domain, customize your SEO, match your branding with exact colours, and much more.
4) Enjoy advanced built-in automations:
In today’s fast moving digital landscape you have to future-proof your business. Uplifter is packed with built-in automations and provides endless free upgrades so that Grow Your Business Online Grant winners can stay ahead of the curve.
Enjoy automated features including waitlists and waitlist notifications, waivers, discounts, drop-ins, invoicing, financial and membership reports, membership and subscription fees, overdue payment reminders, scheduling, class and season cloning, and much more.
5) Empower your users for convenience and time-savings:
Administrators love Uplifter for the massive time savings our software provides. Whether our customers are saving 24-hours per week, cutting registration time and costs by 75%, or transforming the registration from a 10 hour to 10 minute process, Uplifter can completely change the game.
In addition to dozens of time-saving automations, Uplifter can empower customers with self-serve features.
With Uplifter, it’s easy to flip a switch and allow customers to un-enroll themselves so they can quickly switch programs on their own. No need to make them wait for an administrator’s help. And no need to add another task to your admin team’s task-list.
Plus, Uplifter is designed with self-serve profiles and family accounts. These tools allow customers to change and update their own information, easily make payments from their account, see their child’s latest skill evaluations, and more.
6) Priced for your long-term business success:
Uplifter is built to grow your business. However, you don’t need to grow your business to afford Uplifter. Other software providers may stretch your budget and leave you hoping for growth so you can manage their fees, but that’s not how we operate.
We offer month-to-month payments with no contracts required. Plus, there are no setup or cancelation fees. If your business wants, you can even automatically pass our low transaction fees to your customers as part of their checkout.
Uplifter has designed our pricing for your sustainable success. We offer you an unlimited contacts database. That means your monthly fees will not increase when your business grows, and you won’t be trapped in a contract waiting to get out.
Ultimately, we’re proud to say that our customers stay with us because they love our software and support.
7) Use the Grow Your Business Online Grant to pre-pay for e-commerce software:
Upifter strives to provide flexibility in our software and our payments too. We understand that business owners who receive Grow Your Business Online Grants may need to spend the grant in full, up front. Unlike many software providers, Uplifter caters to this need.
If you have questions about pre-payment and invoicing or any other needs, please schedule a call or reach out to us at info@uplifterinc.com.
We’re always happy to help!
