Then you'll see your logo appear in your favorite stores list of logos.
When you select a favorite store that is not in our system, we send them an email with your name (but not your contact information) that tells them you have added them as a favorite and invites them to put a store in our mall. You can see the email that is sent by clicking on the "see what you'll send them" link on the upload screen.

Collecting Coupons
In the Gamefly mall cart below, notice the logo hovering above the salesbot's head. Such an image indicates that she is holding a coupon for you. If you hover on the image, you'll see an barcode icon, which appears on hover on any window or salesbot that has a coupon.
When you click on the coupon image, the following window pops up with details of the coupon offer. If you click the add button at the bottom of the window, your coupon is added to your queue.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHytYRcAYxvBOHm7ec0-9zUDo7792ppuDsOIjxxSI72zrHM3I7AexlGoX4hqxMIhaCPhTm7VB3cCEmV1bEUSymMOMDguR-PC9RcHIc8b-wb1383ZhshKfo6rw6OhZduSig_qfQXQECanQ4/s320/Coupon39-28-2009+2-58-32+PM.jpg)
Select the coupon offers you want to save and click the print button at the bottom to print out your coupon offers. Use any redemption code provided to redeem your coupon on the advertiser's website. It's that simple. Pretty cool, huh?

Mall Carts Display Small Items
A mall cart in the virtualEshopping 3D mall is an advertising opportunity for makers of small items like jewelry, cell phones, sunglasses, etc., to feature selected items from their catelog. Each mall cart contains 20 interactive windowsthat can display fixed images, slideshows with up to 10 slides, video or audio clips and coupons.
Salesbots and sales personas (see yesterday's post for storefronts for a full description of these features) can also be seen in a mall cart if an advertiser creates them.
There are four different mall cart designs and several different orientations for the windows.
Here are a few from the mall:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-2IuTLKUJYrptmtJKuLpGZ0KE7TEcLCbuvpUaNcsxkNVs-zzANx1oR9U1JqRVtxUtYq9ZeLjH1D5aVDt_UyJT7gtOawagMX16avyR5Ll9hSQB1-tSCO_Qf-2JHNcQeFGAlVa2IuqX_sb/s320/GameflyCart9-28-2009+1-43-06+PM.jpg)
Like with a storefront, when you click on any of the images, you are transported to the webpage of the item on the advertiser's 2D website.

Let's Look at a Storefront

Ebags perimeter store
When you click on the doors of the storefront, the homepage of the advertiser opens in a new browser window.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLekqTjcEk4-5TQH9z7T1PaFKTJPT5qW7v0MbwhgMZIydYO1CaPkI9ffhyphenhyphen0Adj2mHFEAIK_9IvcIiidXALFC9os4lHAGBA_buoRhlM9up7jpnhgdwc6bFInlBLDqZHtdskLvCo4nQjoOm3/s320/Ebags9-25-2009+9-32-17+AM.jpg)
When you click on an item in the window, you are transported to the 2D webpage of that item on the advertiser's website. So at the outset of the development of our site, we are a 3D mall that directs shoppers to the 2D websites of our advertisers. Yes, plan to add 3D stores behind the storefronts and have the technology to do so. We're approaching advertisers now to find interest.Each of the windows of a storefront can contain a fixed image, a slideshow with up to 10 slides, video, audio and coupons. If there is a video, audio or coupon in a storefront window, an icon of a video camera, music tunes, or a bar code indicates the existence of each when you hover on the window containing one of them.
Each storefront can also have a salesbot or a live sales persona out in front. A salesbot is an virtual salesperson who is not live in real time that can contain a recorded audio message or a coupon. A live sales persona is backed up by a live person, who can chat with customers in front of the store.
So a storefront in our virtual mall is a way to introduce or remind shoppers in our mall about the store. Standard retailers are primarily featured in the mall currently but we welcome any web retailer or service provider to join the mall. New participating advertisers pay per click for traffic driven to their 2D websites. We'll go into this further in another post as well as regarding opportunities for advertisers to create 3D stores to go behind their mall storefronts.
As always, we value your feedback and suggestions. Please contact us at support@virtualeshopping.com.

Let's Meet in the Mall!
To visit the mall, one must first load the free software on your PC (sorry, Mac's not supported. borrow your parent's PC ;) Instructions for loading the mall software are at the Installation Guide Button next to the Load Mall Button on the main homepage. There's also a load mall button on the profile page in the upper right corner.
Once you load the free software, a launch button is installed in the lower right of your computer screen. It will appear each time you start your computer. This is how you enter the mall each time. Click anywhere in the center of the button to launch the mall.
You'll first encounter an entry screen. If you have registered on the website and have an account, you can enter your login/pw and enter as a registered users. If not, you can either go to the web pages and register or enter as a guest. Guests cannot create personas or collect coupons but can do anything else in the mall.
We have limited the number of malls to a main mall at present, but we'll add more - specialty malls (men, women, teens) and city malls - over time.
Click the main mall and wait a minute for it to load (or do something else. you'll hear mall noise when you have entered.)
You enter the mall in the main atrium.
You move around in the mall using your arrow keys: left, right, forwards and backwards. We'll look around in our next post but feel free to explore on your own.
As always, if you have questions, please contact us at support@virtualeshopping.com. We're open to your ideas, so please share them generously!

The add dates tool lets you customize your occasions and pick a date from the calendar.

When a friend clicks the more button on the profile page, it takes them to a dedicated page with all your special dates and even shows them a list of things in your "I Want It/I Got It" section so they can see what and what not to buy you if they wish to get you a gift for the occasion. It's like having your own gift registry - and not restricted by store!
Have fun and let us know if you have suggestions!
