Hi all,
Welcome to everyone who has signed up since we last sent this newsletter. We’re excited you’re here! We are Chris and James, the founders of Lyric, and we send out these updates weekly. If you’re new here, you can read why we started Lyric.
It’s been a few weeks since you heard from us on this channel — we’ve been busy with a host of improvements and updates. Some here, some we’ll share in the coming weeks. Here’s what we have for you this week.
MARKET FOR ALL
The Lyric homepage is now a shoppable market.
As a buyer, you can now find and shop from all of your favorite Lyric sellers in one place. You can access weekly updates, community features, new products, and recommendations all together. Early feedback has been positive from buyers, who are finding more great work from sellers they wouldn’t have known previously.
Check it out by logging in to https://lyric.store and let us know what you think!
WHAT SHIPPED
Group Promotions. As a community organizer or event leader, you may want to show off the work of the artists and sellers in your community. Group Promotions let you curate a group of sellers and their products, and launch a shoppable experience around your curatorial edit. If you run in-person events or otherwise want to build a curated shopping experience, this could be a great option for you. Group promotions are currently in private beta, so let us know if you want to try it out by emailing info@lyric.store with your use case.
Customer management. The customers table in your dashboard got some much-needed love, so it’s easier to sort, filter, and connect with your customers.
SEO. One of the biggest questions people have for us is if Lyric will help with their search engine optimization. The short answer is yes: you don’t have to think about SEO on Lyric. Our systems handle as much as possible on the backend. We recently made a number of improvements to how pages and metadata are served to search bots to improve your visibility.
