1. Target Mail integrates Virtuemart and Community Builder!
Your users check out through the regular Virtuemart process. They use the regular Virtuemart form to create a Joomla account, or even choose not. Either way is no problem. Target Mail can then be used to add your shoppers to the Community Builder tables so that your shoppers are now full site members! This can work for shoppers who register, and for shoppers who don't. The shipping address and email information are transferred from Virtuemart to the user's CB profile automatically via a CRON job or you can choose to import Virtuemart shoppers manually to CB.
Look - the primary goal of your site is to sell merchandise. Having a community to support that goal is a great way to do business in the Web 2.0 space. But - Virtuemart/CB integration that forces users to leave the checkout process to register in CB will hurt your bottom line! Target Mail keeps the Virtuemart checkout process intact, and let's you add users to Community Builder, and add their shopper data, in a way that won't cost you sales or complicate your site!
2. Target Mail lets users update their shopper information in Community Builder.
Target Mail adds your Virtuemart shoppers to Community Builder. That is great, but what is even better is that Target Mail lets your community members manage their shipping information from their Community Builder profiles! All they have to do is log in, edit the Community Builder profile, and the changes to address, email address, phone, etc. are automatically transferred to their Virtuemart Profile. One place to manage all their important information!
3. Target Mail can add your CB users into Virtuemart as shoppers. This means the Billing/Shipping Address the user filled out on the CB Registration form is waiting in Virtuemart for the first purchase. Talk about streamlined! No need to enter the same information twice for the member/shopper.
4. Target Mail stores users purchases on their Community Builder (CB) profiles.
You look at your list of members in your Community Builder userlist. Wouldn't it be great to know who purchased what? Target Mail automatically adds the Product ID of each product purchased to a special field on the Community Builder profile. That allows you to search for products in the CB Userlist and get information as to who purchased what products. Correlate that information with location, interests, or any other information your members have provided on their profiles.
5. Target Mail lets you create custom mailing lists.
You have a new product coming out. You would like to send an email to all your shoppers that have purchased similar products in the past. Okay - how do you do that using Virtuemart?
Trick question - the answer is you buy Target Mail from CorFun! Using Target Mail, you export your shoppers to Community Builder as members. Community Builder has excellen
I work on a number of Community Builder/Virtuemart combination websites and this is just the tool I needed to effectively use them together. I had a quick question and the developer responded right away. Happy I found this.
What a time saver! for $15 you cant go wrong if you are looking for full integration between Community Builder and Virtuemart and don't want to spend days futzing around with database synchronization scripts and forms!
Excellent system - good job
