  Holiday Message
The holiday season is a special time - a time to reflect on what each of us has been allowed to achieve as part of a much bigger picture that is taking place each day we are alive. This is a great time of year to be reflective and thankful for what has happened and what you anticipate is in the future.

To our customers, we give our continued thanks for placing your trust in our people and technology in 2006. Our most important mission is to help you achieve success. We hope that, through our words and actions, we demonstrated this to you over the past year.

We remain always ready to assist you in every way to make 2007 your most successful year yet.

Warmest regards,

3dCart Sales &Support Team
New pricing plans to be offered in 2007
Two new plans will be available in 2007.

Starter Plan - Priced at $45.99/month | 50 stores per server
Includes up to 100 products, 1 GB of bandwidth, 100MB of space. This plan is primarily for stores that have very few products or just starting out. It will be a great plan for existing store owners to use to start a second business, with a small monthly fee, and then expand to the basic or standard plans when necessary.

Power Plan - Priced at $129.99/month | 15 stores per server
Includes all of the features of Standard Plus plan, but doubles the hard drive space and bandwidth. (30GB of bandwidth, 2GB of space)

If you are interested in starting a new store, although they are not available on our website yet, give us a call or email sales@3dcart.com.
