Lightbox Enlarged Image Viewer

This is a really cool feature we were able to do on sites outside of the Yahoo Store platform so we thought we would bring it on over to Yahoo Store.

This Yahoo Store template enhancement will enlarge and focus on your images when clicked while blacking out the rest of the page. Very cool! And the best news is that it's not a pop-up window so it won't be stopped by pop-up blockers. Simply click on the image again to close!

It gives the customer a better look at your products, while keeping the customer on the item page.

Customers interested in purchasing your products will surely want to get a good look at what they are purchasing before they check out. For this reason Yahoo Store has built this functionality into your store's standard features.

But when a customer clicks on the Yahoo Store image, they are taken to a new page displaying the full size image that you have uploaded into your editor.

The problem is, on the Yahoo Store setup there is nothing that tells customers that they have this ability. They must assume or find it by chance. Further, while going to this new page may help your customer to make an informed purchase, leaving the item page could allow your customer to lose interest or to get sidetracked.

The "Image enlarge" pop-up feature we provide will eliminate all of these potential problems. On each item page, customers will clearly see a graphic informing them they can get a better view of this product. When they click the product image or the graphic we have provided, a pop-up window will appear. There is also a link for them to close the window when they are done viewing the enlarged image.

The customer has the ability to get a better look, and they didn't have to leave the page to do so. You satisfied their needs, but because they won't wander away by accident, you will have better optimized your web site for sales.

Sometimes when you are viewing a product online, the picture just isn't large enough. We have an easy way of solving this dilemma. We can create a special Pop-Up window that will open up enlarged images of your products. If a larger image is not available for that specific product, the smaller image will let your customers know (e.g. Click to Enlarge). This will help visitors stay within the current product page and receive additional info, and be able to view the product they want to purchase to its fullest.

This Yahoo Store Addition also gives you the option to have the inset images enlarged in the same area.
