As you already might know, on February 1, 2012 Magento announced the end-of-life of Magento Professional.
Here is the quote from an article posted on the official Magento blog:”Following an extensive review of our current solutions and projected customer needs, we are making an important change: we are phasing out the Magento Professional Edition.
While Magento Professional was embraced by a significant number of merchants, we have seen much greater demand for our Enterprise and new Enterprise Premium offerings.”
aheadWorks won’t phase out its Magento PE extensions
aheadWorks, on its part, wants to assure all our Magento Professional customers that we are not going to phase out the PE extensions. We will continue to work with our Professional customers and provide them with the best eCommerce solutions and custom support.
If customers running PE-based stores see the value in upgrading to Magento Enterprise or downgrading to Community editions, we are happy to offer a 50% and 25% discount correspondingly for all our Magento extensions and Themes.
All you have to do is contact us and get a personal coupon code.

A study done by the Association of Sales Executives revealed that the majority of sales happen after the follow-ups.
With the Follow Up Email extension, you can make the emails automatically sent to customers on any event – abandoned cart, order obtained certain status, customer added product to wishlist, etc. This indispensable tool will help you win more sales and always stay in close touch with your consumers.
Since the latest update of Follow Up Email, you can specify a tracking code for every rule and analyze the efficiency of your follow-ups in Google Analytics.
Today we are excited to release Follow Up Email v.3.3.4 with the following bug fixes:
- Error on running cron
- Emails sending improvements
- Newsletter template disappears from FUE rules if it has been changed
- Minor bug fixes

We continue our conversation with Steve Tallent, President at Beeyoutiful.com, who was one of the first adopters of Magento.
Be sure to read Part 1 of this interview where Steve describes the first years of using Magento and the positive changes happened in the past few years.
Q: What’s the most powerful extension/s for you and why?
A: Well, Z-Blocks has been a dream. We’re exploring new ways to use it all of the time. Right now we’re looking at getting the RSS Reader to bring in multiple feeds, from our blogs, our Forums, our Facebook page, put them into Z-Blocks and start displaying them in different places, so we have dynamic content to engage our customers and encourage them to interact with us in those settings.
We also have on tap to try to get polls into Z-Blocks, so that we can schedule the old poll to go offline and a new one to come online weekly without us having to be there at that time to make that change. Z-Blocks is SO powerful.
Although I’ve had it for a long while and the shine has worn off and I’m not quite as enamored as I once was, the Review Rotator is a powerful tool. Marketers know just how powerful reviews are, and having them out in a sidebar where they might attract some attention to a previously untried product, is invaluable. The extension allows you to apply a filter so that you don’t get the really horrible reviews rotating through either. There aren’t very many, but you know there are those people that just like to complain.
