IKEA’S SKARSTA IS PERFECT FOR A HOME OFFICE SETUP

I have been wanting to redo my home office setup. None of the desks offered were to my liking. I needed more space and more storage.

What’s more, I also did not like their filing cabinets and I want to put a sofa beside the office; all in one room. I have seen a few hacks using BESTÅ but they all seemed too complicated and the end results were not perfect.

It took me several trips to IKEA to come up with this solution. It’s not really a hack but I have not seen this setup on this site or anywhere else. Here’s my solution for the perfect home office setup: SKARSTA FTW!

Items in photo

1 small STUVA toy box with wheels with 1 large FRITIDS drawer front where I will install my new printer. Paper goes in the box.
1 STUVA frame 25 x 25 with 3 GRUNDLIG drawers + 2 small FRITIDS drawer fronts and 1 large FRITIDS front + 4 STUVA GRUNDLIG feet
2 STUVA wall cabinets 23 x 25 with 2 FRITIDS doors each + 4 STUVA GRUNDLIG shelves
1 STUVA frame 47 x 25 with 4 large drawer fronts + 4 STUVA GRUNDLIG feet
3 OLOV legs for countertops

This is another view of that wonderful stool

The Bekant and Nilserik stool looks smart beside the window. Check them out above.

Nilserik gives an active sitting position, which improves your posture.

You can easily adjust the height by using 1 of the 3 easy-to-reach knobs underneath the seat.

You sit comfortably thanks to the padded seat.

Has a curved base, which helps you find a comfortable, tilted sitting position.

Practical and comfortable swivel function.

Works well with sit/stand desks.

How to Recommend Products Using Tags on Shopify the Smart Way

WeichangLai — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 08:04:26 +0000

We realised that many merchants are not unleashing the full power of Linkcious so we want to illustrate what Linkcious can do.

This article is for merchants who want to recommend related products using product tags. Different product pages will use different product tags to recommend products.

The merchant can get creative and recommend products using keywords such as “white”, “orange”, “square”, earrings”, tables” etc.. and Linkcious will recommend groups of products based on the keywords chosen.

There is a bit of coding but the difficulty level is really easy.

Our method works much better than the default “Use product tags to recommend products” method because our method allows the merchant to select group of products instead or just recommending a specific item.

For example, using the default Shopify method above, the merchant will need to set the exact handle of the recommended product, and the recommended product will only feature that product selected.

Using the method below, a merchant will be able to set product tags such as “hats” or “belts” or “earrings” and our widget will automatically look for “hats” or “belts” or “earrings” within your store to recommend on the page where you put in the tag.

Any number of tags can be added, and a merchant will be able to add as many product recommendations as they wish to each product.

We promise that this is no more difficult than other methods!

Steps:

Install Linkcious for your Shopify account. It is free for lite users.
From your Shopify admin, click Online Store, and then click Themes.
Find the theme you want to edit, click the ... button, and then click Edit HTML/CSS.
Include your snippet in product.liquidAt the very bottom of your product.liquid file, add the following code:
```
-->
```
Change the keyword1 and keyword2 into the product tags you want. If you want to use different product tags for different products depending which product page you are on, use this code instead:
```
 -->
```
The Linkcious widget will automatically select groups of products based on the product.tags associated with each product.
If you don’t want to use the product.tag to recommend products, you can use product.type too:
```
 -->
```

The Linkcious widget will automatically select groups of products based on the product type associated with the product.

And you get the idea.

This is really nifty!

Tip: How to show your Online Shop’s Products Like the Facebook Like Box

WeichangLai — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 04:20:07 +0000

Ever wanted to show products from your Shopify store like a Facebook Like Box?

Now you can.

The “Related Products On Your Blog” is a special version of our Related Products widget designed for ecommerce merchants. It allows admins to promote their Shops and embed a simple feed of products from their shop into other sites.

The products are chosen by artificial intelligence and different pages show different products depending on the context of the page.

You can install the app here:

(For Shopify Users)
(All Other E-Commerce Platforms)

Here is an example of how the Related Product Tiles will appear on your site.

Here’s another example.

If you do not like this layout, you can always configure it however you want. Here’s an example from Ikea. The “List Layout” is usually used if you want to more seamlessly place your related products into you content.

This lingerie company A/B tests the world’s hottest women to see who you will click

WeichangLai — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 08:48:17 +0000

For each bra, Adore Me shoots multiple versions of images to run on its website. The distinctions between the pictures might include different models wearing the same set in the exact same position, or the same model in the same set in a different position, for example. Then, like any good tech company, it tests the options to find out which one sells better.

Who will you click?

Fast Company published an article recently about the lingerie company Adore Me detailing how doing A/B testing helps them drive interaction and increase sales. This happens all the time on the Internet, for example, Netflix A/B tests its recommendations to increase revenue; Google A/B tested the color of its ad links to maximize clicks and the Obama campaign A/B tested its website to maximize campaign donations.

THIS.. is similar to how Linkcious helps small ecommerce merchants. Not everyone has the capacity to write an in house solution to select product recommendations and we take machine learning and artificial intelligence and it them accessible to smaller merchants.

Linkcious automatically test out different products in different layouts and will choose to show products that customers are most interested in.

Try Linkcious today, it only takes 5 minutes to set up.
