Dear Friends,

Over the past few months during our beta period we figured out what our customers liked and what they didn’t. We are excited to announce a better, easier, and cooler Flying Cart to be released this Friday.

Summary of our changes:
- Customers hated our commission model so we took it out and made it a flat fee. But don’t worry we have a free model too. More info at: http://flyingcart.com/pricing.php

- We have added Google Product Search, so now all your products are submitted to Google with one click

- Easier color picker

- Easier size selector

- PayPal Express Integration

- E-Mail Promotion inside your Flying Cart Head Quarters

- Step by Step guides on getting listed on top directories

- We made it easier to use your own custom domain

And we already have more features in store for you in the next month after our release

- SiteMap Generation

- Customizable background colors

- More Templates

We can’t wait to show you what we got in the next few days

1. Low setup + operational costs. You don’t need to pay shop assistants or rent any space.
2. Reducing order related processing costs, customer orders will come automatically come straight into your e-mail.
3. Reach a large audience, where your products can be seen across the world.
