Loves BigCommerce’s: All-in-one offering

Introduction
A few weeks back we sent an email to existing BigCommerce merchants asking why they decided to switched to BigCommerce (if they weren’t launching a new store). The email campaign generated close to 500 testimonials and was a HUGE success. We’ve posted a lot of the testimonials on our switch buzz page and so many came in that we couldn’t keep up, so a big thanks to everyone who took the time to complete our survey!
As part of the survey we announced we would be selecting one random participant to win an Apple iPad when they’re available for sale in April. Well, we’ve randomly selected a winner – Carrie Michael from Seventh Door which is a beautiful BigCommerce store where Carrie sells female apparel including tops, shoes, handbags and more.
Carrie switched to BigCommerce from a custom PayPal shopping cart and noted she’s had a significant improvement in customer satisfaction, day-to-day stress levels and store design/functionality since she made the switch. Her previous solution lacked features and was hard to customize. You can see below that Carrie obviously hasn’t had a problem customizing BigCommerce to meet her needs.
Carrie has customized one of BigCommerce’s built in ecommerce templates and her store looks fantastic:
Carrie, congratulations and if you’re reading please check your email for details on how to claim your Apple iPad!
