Premier Pools Testimonial & Review

I told my wife that we would never have a pool in the backyard.  What a waste of money.  All those chemicals and water and service charges and equipment trouble and on and on and on.

Boy was I wrong! She somehow convinced me that we should get a pool and we spent Jan-Mar 2014 doing research and shopping around.  We narrowed it down to Geremia Pools and Premier Pools.  In the end, I selected Premier because they were priced right and eager to get down to business.  I knew that Geremia could build a wonderful product but I was concerned about the cost and duration of that process.

Our salesman and project manager with Premier happened to be the G.M. (Aaron Gurley).  We were more than pleased with Aaron and his team.  They did an amazing job getting our pool built quickly, correctly, and professionally.  I have a tendency to nit pick at things and be a perfectionist but Premier Pools delivered during all steps of the process.

We have been completely amazed at how much having the pool has brought our family together out of the house and into the backyard.  This is really nice, especially in the summer months when it is so hot outside.  I feel very fortunate that Premier Pools made a large purchase like building a swimming pool in our backyard a completely painless and enjoyable experience.  Thank you Premier Pools!

 

Phishing Emails

Here you can see that Phishing emails are getting a bit more sophisticated.  This email is in full HTML with quite a bit of legitimate looking info.  But I have highlighted two tell tale signs that this email was not sent by American Express.

• The sent from domain is a Godaddy host (Secureserver, not AMEX)
• Mouse over the hyperlink that they want you to click on and you will see that it is also not an AMEX domain.  Always try to use your status bar or mouse over to see where you are going before you go there.

How to Manage Configurable items in Magento EE as Product Variations in Channel Advisor

When you build configurable skus that allow customers to specify the details of the item purchased (like color or size), you have to tell Channel Advisor what is the "Product Variation" (different name for the same concept).  To create the new Configurable Attibute, follow these steps:

o   Create Attribute in Magento and use YES for “Use To Create Configurable Product”

o   Assigned to Magento Attribute Set

o   Map the new attribute to Magento data flow export profile

o   Create in Channel Advisor “Define Field Headers”

o   Assigned to Channel Advisor “Import Template”

o   Built out in Channel Advisor “Product Variations”

In this case, we built a new color attribute in Magento EE and then assigned it to the appropriate attribute set (OUTDOOR).

• Magento > Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attribute Sets 

Then you have to add the new attribute set to the Export File Field Mapping that gets sent to Channel Advisor:

• Magento > System > Import/Export Profile > (select profile) > (edit Profile Wizard for Field Mapping)

Now you have to define the field header in Channel Advisor:

• CA > Inventory > Product Mapping > Define File Headers
• CA > Inventory > Product Mapping> > Templates

In CA you will need to build out the new Product Varations:

• CA > Inventory > Products > Product Variations > Create New Product Variation

(use the header file name/attribute name in both "name" and "varying attribute name", then save and exit)

Now do a fresh export/import and you should be well on your way!
