It’s been about a month now since we launched the new e-sharper.com. After 8 months of planning and executing, the new website has gotten great feedback from our customers. The ease of navigation, product search and tracking online orders are some of the many upgrades that our customers are enjoying when shopping online with us. However, the one thing that resonated with most of our customers was learning how to use our new online personalization/edit tool.
So, here is a quick tutorial on how to use our new online editing tool to help you quickly personalize your product and view an instant proof to ensure that your product is perfect before you place your order.
Step 1
Shopping online
We’ve made it easier for you to shop! Now you can shop as a guest, without having to make an account. Feel free to browse our selection of products and add products to your cart. However, if you’ve made an account with us, you will be able to access many new features such enabling a default personalization option in your “My Account” section. Default personalization allows our new editing tool to pre-populate your contact information into the products that you’ve added to your cart – saving you time from typing in your information.
Step 2
Adding products to your cart
Conveniently add products to your cart with a click of mouse. Browse for products of your interest, view its description, select the quantities that you want then click on the “Add to Cart” button to add the selected product to your cart.
Step 3
Personalizing your product
Now it’s the fun part! To personalize your product, go to your Shopping Cart page. Here you will see all of the products that you’ve added to your cart. Beside each product, if there is a personalization option available, you will see a button called “Personalize Now”. Clicking on this button will launch you into our personalization/editing tool. This is where your creativity begins!
Step 4
Personalization/Editing Tool
Depending on the product that you’ve selected, you will be presented with a few different options. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will choose Postcards which have a 3 step personalization process.
1.) Selecting your layout
This first step will allow you to select the layout of your personalization. Postcards have 3 layouts. Each layout gives you different options of where to have your personalization information, message or logo. Preview and select the layout that you want.
2.) Personalize your product
The second step is where you get to input your contact information, personal message, your company logo or one of our free logos. You can also add a map of your business or practice location to make it easy for your patients or clients to find you.
Please note, if you’ve made an account and enabled default personalization in your “My Account” section, your contact information should have pre-populated into your product. If you don’t have default personalization turned on, all you have to do is double click on the contact information box, enter your information and click “OK”. The system will then take a few seconds to render the information you’ve inputted. To edit, simply repeat the process.
Now, if you want to add a logo, simply click on the logo box (usually the red box beside your contact information), a small pop-up will appear. Click on the “Browse” option. A small pop-up window will appear giving you the options to upload your own logo, use a saved logo (only available if you’ve previously uploaded a logo), or search and select a free Sharper™ logo.
Adding a personal message works very similar to adding a logo. Select the message box, click on “Browse”, search and choose a free Sharper™ message. You may also write your own message by clicking on the message box and typing in your own message. After you’ve finished typing in your message, format it to your liking and then click “OK”.
If you need any help with the personalization process, click on the “Help?” button located in the top right hand corner. Here you will find answers to all the options of personalizing your product.
3.) Approving your digital proof
After you’ve personalized your product, click on the “Save Changes” button, located in the top right hand corner. Clicking on the button will bring you into the final step of the personalization process, approving your digital proof.
Carefully review your digital proof to ensure that everything is how you want it to look. If you want to make an edit, use the top navigation menu to go back to the personalization step.
If everything is how you want it to look then enter your initials at the bottom and click on the “OK” button.
Please note, all online orders submitted will be looked over by one of our professional Graphic Designers.
