In the previous article by George Papadongonas and Yiannis Doxaras, authors of Drupal E-commerce with Ubercart 2.x, we saw how to implement more complex marketing technique such as cross-selling using taxonomy and recommendation systems for Drupal with Ubercart, how to create an alternative layout for products using panels and enhance user interface using views. In this article we show we will you how to offer a better browsing experience to your visitors, and how to use enhanced marketing techniques to attract more clients and to make them spend more money in your store. In this article we are going to show you:

Consider that you have built an e-store, and it is full of products, has great functionality, and offers the client a great browsing experience.
