In many cases, costs and deployment times have been dramatically reduced as a result of OrderDynamics integrating leading eCommerce technologies into its on-demand platform.

OrderDynamics is helping retailers deploy smoother and more cost effective site launches without having to make any compromises. As a result, retailers now have an eCommerce platform capable of meeting all of their current and future needs without having to worry about missing critical deadlines or exceeding sensitive budgets,” said Mr. Berkovitz.

IRWD 2012 - Recap of the Show!
The OrderDynamics Team would like to thank everyone who attended the 2012 Internet Retailer Design and Usability Conference (IRWD) this week in Orlando, Florida. IRWD 2012 was a bit bigger this year, but the event still created the same great venue for networking opportunities with partners, retailers, and analysts that it's known for. The three-day event heavily emphasized design and optimization tactics for retailers to drive increased sales and more engaging online experiences.
This year's Conference featured a really dynamic atmosphere. There was a great energy and buzz that flowed throughout the exhibition hall and into the presentation sessions in all three days of Conference. Everyone we spoke with carried an amazing sense of enthusiasm and passion. Nearly every retailer we spoke to has big plans for re-platforming or new integrations that will significantly enhance user experiences. 2012 will undoubtedly be a big year in the eCommerce industry. We really look forward to seeing some of these projects come to life!
The Keynote and featured Speakers were extremely strong in both content and delivery this year, as well. It's also worth noting the private website consultations were a big hit among Conference attendees.
Like most other eCommerce Conferences, we enjoyed learning about some fantastic new vendors and online marketing services from AddShoppers and UserTesting. AddShoppers offers retailers a free platform that incentivizes consumers to share "liked" products within various social networks in exchange for discounts, while UserTesting has created an on-demand service for retailers to watch videos of consumers navigating through their websites and check-outs - complete with audio and video records!
With two Conferences already completed this year, 2012 will prove to be OrderDynamics busiest year to date. We have some exciting event announcements coming in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for those.
We will be reaching out to all interested parties over the next two weeks. You may also contact us directly: Michael Turcsanyi solutions@orderdynamics.com.
In the meantime, we invite you to visit our website at www.orderdynamics.com to learn more about our On-Demand eCommerce Platform.
Sincerely,
The OrderDynamics Team

OrderDynamics Merchants Outpace eCommerce Holidays Sales by 57%
JANUARY 31, 2012 – TORONTO, ON – As the dust settles from the 2011 holiday season, e-retailers are slowly catching their collective breath from a very busy Q4. Various reports from the National Retail Federation and comScore - to name a few - indicate sales for the 2011 holiday period saw substantial growth over 2010, and boasted a noteworthy spike after a period of already higher than normal sales leading up to the holidays.
Many consider the Black Friday/Cyber Monday long weekend as the unofficial kick-off to holiday shopping, however reports from comScore suggest significant online shopping increases happening as early as the beginning of November. Retail sales grew 15% to $35 billion in 2011 over 2010 for online transactions occurring between November 1 and December 26 - a sign that online shoppers are increasingly open to an earlier start to the holiday shopping season.
Cyber Monday, however, remains the single largest online shopping day of the year with a 22% increase over its 2010 performance. Overall, OrderDynamics merchants saw a 93% boost in orders compared to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend of 2010, with the biggest increases for their Canadian merchants. Black Friday and Cyber Monday will undoubtedly also become a major online shopping period outside of the US.
OrderDynamics merchants generated a combined increase of 72% in 2011 sales over those of 2010 for the same November to Christmas period, leveraging the dynamic nature of the OrderDynamics On-Demand SaaS Platform. “The OrderDynamics platform and toolset makes it easy for retailers to capitalize on increased web traffic with its advanced online promotions engine, enhanced backend website control, and additional client services based on industry best practices,” said Michael Benadiba, CEO of OrderDynamics Corporation. “The platform is easily able to accommodate even extreme spikes in website traffic to minimize downtime and ensure the best possible online shopping experience.”
Mr. Benadiba attributes the growth in eCommerce not only to savvy online shoppers and general convenience, but also to the Dynamic Merchandising tools available to merchants using their On-Demand eCommerce technology. He added, “OrderDynamics makes it easy for online retailers to optimize their websites for ultimate usability and to deliver a superior online experience during peak seasons”.
