Yuval Ziv (Gate2Shop) – “Payment Processing vs Affiliate Marketing! Which one really matters?” from Flash GAMM.

The International Conference of Online Game Developers has its schedule published and ISDEF has provided a full agenda and comfortable facilities for all attendees, yet, there is plenty to see and do in Kiev to enhance your trip to Ukraine’s capital.

Eating Out

In addition to the four restaurants and bars at the Rus, you may want to indulge in other culinary destinations, as well.  Yes, there’s McDonalds in town, but also a colorful variety of local, foreign and fusion cuisines, as well as many pubs and bars.

Going Out

Kiev is well known for its nightlife, so if you are looking for a dance floor, mixing with the rich and famous, or simply listening to a live band or a DJ, you are already in for a dynamic night out. Click around the map above, or check out one of these local sites: http://www.kiev-life.com & http://www.kievapts.com/kiev_nightlife.php.

Strolling Around

In general, we recommend walking or using the convenient public transportation system (the Kiev metro, buses, trolleys, trams and funicular). Renting a car involves parking headaches, and taxi cab fares there are non-regulated and may be inconsistent (to put it politely).

A Beta Global and an European Green city, Kiev is perfect for strolling around. Walk along the Dnieper river bank, pop up your laptop open on a bench at one of the botanical gardens or jog around the many ponds or The Victory Park (Park Peremohy), take a boat to the Venetsianskyi island (Hidropark) known for its beaches, amusement park and nightclubs…

Keen on shopping?  Dive in the fresh scents of farm produce at the Besarabsky Market, go book hunting at the Petrivka metro station market or window shopping in the glitzy downtown.

Culture & Arts

Naturally, history abounds in this European corner, as well.  Boasting more than twenty centuries of history, Kiev is host to many cultural influences yet displays its own essence and charisma unabashed by the turmoils of time and politics.   UNESCO World heritage sites Kiev Pechersk Lavra (the Monastery of the Caves) and the Saint Sophia Cathedral should be on top of your list, but save some time also for the National Art Museum, the Andriyivskyy Descent historic street and the Mother Motherland giant statue.

Ask the Rus Hotel concierge or your event coordinator for additional directions or choices if our random suggestions spark your curiosity and adventureship.  Leave your mobile devices and computers in your suite – or, bring them along as WiFi is available in some parts of the city – and head out to town.

About Gate2Shop

A sponsor and a presenter, Gate2Shop is glad to make your acquaintance at the 2011 ISDEF spring conference in the Rus Hotel of Kiev, Ukraine, April 22-24.

Our reps will be on hand to discuss marketing and software sales techniques, legal aspects, how to increase your conversion rates and business developments in the software industry.  We are looking forward to establishing and maintaining strong business relationships with you, our partners and clients.

This past weekend Gate2Shop gave a talk at the Flash GAMM! Expo in Kyiv. The topic was “The Art of Conversion” and the presentation was done by Gate2Shop COO Yuval Ziv. The presentation was well-attended and there were some nice questions following it.

The art of conversion is a crucial topic that is of interest to any business trying to sell software online or sell games online – and this is pretty much everybody who attended that show.
The essence of the presentation is that the better your conversion rate is, the better your ROI is going to be. Sometimes, to achieve that it only takes some very minute tweaks of one’s payment page and significant leaps in that metric are going to be observed. It takes both technical and business savvy to achieve that.

We have had case studies that show up to 20% increase when only a small banner is moved or replaced. As you can see from the presentation below, real life cases were discussed, showing how Gate2Shop has helped them improve their business. Most of the attendees were either flash developers or business people who had their own successful flash design or web design studios.

Overall it was a very good show with a number of productive meetings. We were delighted to discuss payments in general and flash payments in particular with both potential clients and partners.

This year’s conference will be held in Vienna at the Marriott Hotel Courtyard Vienna Messe. This is the 10th annual international conference and Gate2Shop will be there. The purpose of the conference is to provide a gateway to facilitate sharing information to and for software developers and companies and organizations that provide products and services to software developers.



Mr. Trayan Nikolov, G2S’s Operations Manager, will be speaking at the conference and will have the opportunity to meet many of the industry’s participating members and hopefully you as well. Feel free to ask questions how you can sell software online.


Gate2Shop is also proud to be a premiere sponsor of this year’s conference and we invite all interested to join us for a drink at our booth.
