As always at this nostalgic time of the year, we hit a well-deserved pause to reflect on how far on our professional journey we have already come, and get excited at the direction we are heading in with our software endeavours. 2020 was a tough year on a number of levels. We have been forced to keep our distance, and spent almost zero time working side by side. However, despite the trying times we all experienced, we made sure no job has been lost. If anything, we have become more of a family, and are working actively on getting it even bigger in the near future. By sharing the same strong passion for innovation, we have pulled off some amazing feats in 2020, and got even more companies faring better with the help of our software. So, grab a drink, pull up a chair, and enjoy this insightful flashback through the past twelve months.

Go big or go home, or for 2020…
Go big from home

This year coronavirus has been shaking up the familiar patterns in business and consumer habits on a staggering scale. And though the full aftermath of this black swan event is yet to be determined, it is already plain that the pandemic has triggered irrecoverable change across industries. While many companies have felt the inevitable pain of reducing or suspending daily operations, we have rised to the challenges that switching to remote working almost overnight brought on, and weathered the logistical storm. There hasn’t been a day that we stopped working our socks off to ensure the battle you are fighting for your business is not a losing one. Quite the opposite, we have stepped up our efforts to produce even more module updates as well as entirely new products.

We hope all this has proven definitively how strong, flexible, and sensitive to your changing needs we are. We feel both humbled and honored that our software has been helpful to you in surviving the first and worst blow of a sudden crisis, piloting your business to new horizons ahead of the competition, instead of falling into stagnation and financial decline.

At the same time, this is you, our dearest client, who has from day one been an integral part of our company’s triumph against the pandemic odds and difficulties. Without this unspeakable amount of understanding and patience that you showed us throughout the often thorny processes of adjusting our workflows, it would be twice as hard for us to settle in this not-so-normal new normalcy. If there is one thing we want you to know and always remember is that you can safely rely on our all-encompassing assistance in any sort of situation life throws at you.

Furthermore, we owe a word of most heartfelt appreciation to our code whisperers, support service rockstars, quality assurance magicians, and all other teams of ModulesGarden whose hard work and genuine commitment kept our company from drowning in those hectic times.

Cloud billing has never been that simple

After months chock-full of intensive coding sessions, we made a grand entrance into 2020 with the trailblazing WHMCS Cloud Billing project that has finally plugged the long-lasting gap in the market with a tool empowering the providers of Amazon Web Services to manage all aspects of their customer billing in the most convenient way, that is without ever leaving their WHMCS system. Supplied initially with a complete AWS integration, Cloud Billing For WHMCS is under nonstop development, and will soon be upgraded to support another major cloud computing platform – Google Cloud.

Over 25k happy customers

The dynamic growth of customer base is no doubt a significant benchmark of the company’s success, don’t you agree? This year we feel truly humbled for the privilege of being the number one software house for over 25,000 customers. The arrival of the 30,000th partner in our business family is only a matter of days now!

Smooth transition into the future

Making sure that all products remain closely suited to the fast-paced evolution of WHMCS is a timeless objective to pursue, however, 2020 boasts some particularly outstanding achievements in this field. After the series of comprehensive quality assurance and testing procedures, our Marketplace entered a full-scope integration with a landmark 8.0 generation of WHMCS!

We have no intention of slowing down, and thus are working full steam to ensure that every single module has been thoroughly tested in terms of a visual and functional compatibility with the upcoming WHMCS 8.1 as well as the fresh “Twenty-One” system theme based on Bootstrap 4.

Entering 2021 with a bang

These past months were also filled with painstaking work shoulder to shoulder with our good friends at RS Studio on the solution long sought-after by many – Lagom One Step Order Form For WHMCS. Stay tuned and follow closely the news not to miss its official arrival due early next year!

2020 in numbers

Since nothing appeals to the human mind quite as much as numbers, see for yourself the high bar of quality and performance that ModulesGarden has risen to meet this year in form of pure statistics.

• 3 rebranded modules with exciting new features:
  • IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers For WHMCS (formerly SoftLayer)
  • Proxmox Cloud VPS For WHMCS
  • OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS
• 5 brand-new products built from the ground up:
  • (AWS) Cloud Billing For WHMCS
  • Products Reseller For WHMCS
  • IBM Cloud Virtual Servers For WHMCS

  • OpenStack Projects For WHMCS
• 160 module reviews submitted by satisfied customers
• 212 completed custom software development projects
• 368 module updates in total
• 10,713 successfully resolved tickets

But since nothing of this would be even remotely possible without your all-year-round support and faith in our purposeful mission, it is only fair of us to return the kindness by launching a special Christmas promotion! Look below for an earnest token of our appreciation – a 12% promotional code available until January 8th, 2021, and extending to all modules listed in our Marketplace!

Promo code: #Hello2021

Let’s wrap up 2020 with a toast for every single milestone we have achieved together, and reach ahead with optimism for all brave opportunities that yet unfold on the horizon. Speaking of which, what other new heights would you like us to reach in these following months? For our part, being mindful of how important our timely and informative guidance is to your workflows, we pledge ourselves to fostering the standards of our technical support services with solutions certain to have a positive impact on the speed and quality of responses made by our support agents on a daily basis.

Let the comments section below be the place of a brainstorming session for all kinds of personal expectations regarding our products and services. And to kick the discussion up a notch, we will randomly pick three out of all most profound submissions, and reward the authors with an exclusive 20% discount.

Let’s make 2021 our best year ever together!

No doubt that we all love the Halloween tradition, but let us be honest – the pattern tends to keep repeating itself every year, doesn’t it? Pumpkin carving, spooky costume parties, whole yards scattered with ghoulish skeletons and jack-o’-lanterns, hordes of kids in whimsical costumes going door to door in the hunt for candies… we all know this sequence inside out.

Although most people spend Halloween dressing up or trick-or-treating, there are plentiful of countries which have their own, no less splendid, celebratory rituals. Let’s dive into some of them before we move on to the hair-raising treats we have arranged for you this year!

• Did you know that Ireland is considered a birthplace of modern Halloween tradition? Its origins stem from ancient Celtic rituals and a festival called “Samhain”, that once marked the end of the harvest season. In present-day Ireland and Scotland, the 30th October is still celebrated with massive bonfires, just like in the days of Celts. At the same time, typical parties include various plays such as “snap-apple”, treasure hunts or card games as well as traditional Halloween food – barmbrack. It is a kind of fruitcake with muslin-wrapped treats baked inside it: rings, pieces of straw, buttons, coins that are believed to foretell the eater’s future.

• Are you in for a 7-day Transylvania tour for this year’s Halloween? Over the years, countless fearless tourists have traveled to Romania with aim of celebrating Halloween at Vlad Tepe’s purported home at Bran Castle. There are even guides and inclusive travel packages that offer tours of Count Dracula’s castle with costume parties, story-telling and actors playing out Dracula-inspired scenes. Dare to try?

• In Mexico, Latin America and Spain, people honor deceased loved ones and ancestors who are believed to return to their earthly homes during Halloween. “Día de los Muertos” – the Day of the Dead – is commemorated with 3-day festivities that begin on the evening of October 31. The celebration consists of building in-home altars full of delicious treats left as offerings for weary ghosts. Often, a washbasin and towel are left out so that the spirit can wash before indulging in the feast. Practicality above all else!

• People in Hong Kong celebrate Halloween a bit earlier than nations in other parts of the world. But it does not mean their month-long Hungry Ghost Festival is in any way less spooky! In several parts of East Asia, it is believed that around mid-August to mid-September spirits get uneasy and begin to roam through the world. This feast is, therefore, a way to “feed” those souls, supplying them with food and money needed for the afterlife.

• In early November, Catholics across the world celebrate All Saints’ Day, followed by All Souls’ Day. They go to mass so as to honor the lives of the saints who died for their Catholic beliefs and visit tombs of their loved ones to pray for their souls. In Poland and Italy, people leave chrysanthemums and candles on the graves of the departed, turning cemeteries into a display of lights and colors. In addition, Germany has yet another intriguing tradition – many hide their kitchen knives so that they would not be mischievously used by the returning spirits. Well, better safe than sorry!

Perhaps these 5 real-world celebrations have given you a bit of inspiration to try some of them on your own? Or maybe you want to make this year’s Halloween the most memorable one ever in some other way? Then you should definitely join our bewitching contest!

Benefits of adopting emoji communication techniques

Emojis are all the rage in today’s world. It was only a matter of time, then, before companies jumped at the whole sea of new opportunities these colorful icons presented. But what exactly is so compelling about these tiny symbols that hundreds of enterprises around the globe started to blend them into their everyday marketing strategies?

Our organism is programmed to thrive on social interaction. On the most basic level, emojis compensate for the lack of body language and emotions in digital communications, humanizing our online experience. In a broader perspective, they help to break the ice between people interacting in the cyber world by building a relaxed, anxiety-free atmosphere. One of the biggest problems with monitor-to-monitor rather than face-to-face conversation is that it can additionally widen the already existing language gaps. Do you sometimes feel like there is some miscommunication going on between you and the customers who are speaking a different language? Trust us, the feeling most probably is mutual. Through a simple use of emoticons you can help your recipients grasp the nuances of utterances more easily, avoid erroneous interpretations, and consequently, bring the business negotiations to a successful fruition. Lastly, emojis hold one crucial advantage over plain text – they involve an extra sense (vision) which fosters better memorization. So if you wish to make an everlasting impact on your audience – you have just found your golden ticket!

To use or not to use – the etiquette of emojis

How many times did you want to say one thing, but opted for something totally different in the end for the fear of embarrassment? When it comes to business sphere, emojis tend to cause similar mixed feelings, even despite their ubiquitous nature. Sometimes the line between what is professional and what longer appropriate seems so blurry, that as an entrepreneur you would rather remain in your comfort zone than risk a major PR faux pas. But it does not have to be that way.

With these few tips you will learn how to effectively recognize the right contexts for using emojis in business discussions and turn them into your strong suit.

1. Who is your audience?

When you send a  or  emoji to your colleagues, you may only hope they have a good sense of humor (or at least enough patience to bear with your complete lack of social graces). Never assume the same about a person outside your workplace circle. Before flooding your message with symbols, first scan whomever you are addressing. Is it a potential client or a partner? Focus on facts and details rather than pleasantries then for this is neither the time nor the place for textual ornaments. The only thing worse from sounding unprofessional is being treated as a jester. If, on the other hand, you are communicating with a long-lasting customer (or the one who uses symbols in his/her messages too), you can also loosen up the tone with one or two emojis.

2. Probe the situation

You would not wear a tracksuit to a wedding party, would you? Smileys also may appear awkward (if not disrespectful) when inserted in the middle of a serious conversation. Whether you are securing an important business contract or passing on some sensitive information to a client, it is best to refrain from emojis completely. But what if your client boasts about having a new baby? How can you not press  while congratulating them on this great news? Feeling your way through the situation is the key to success.

3. Know your emojis

With hundreds of similarly-looking symbols, it is easier to send your recipient a mixed message than you might think. Take a look at this emoji: . What a cool peace sign, isn’t it? Not exactly. Quite many people in fact are oblivious to its true meaning which is ‘V’ for ‘victory’. If you are not 100% sure whether the given icon fits in the particular context, better leave it alone. Express your idea with plain words instead, or use very basic emojis which leave no room for misinterpretation.

4. Focus on the positive

There are two types of emotions which human beings find almost impossible to hold back – happiness and anger. While your customers are entitled to expressing both, you on the other hand need to be more selective. To the extent where you reduce negative emojis to the absolute minimum. Having a rough day? Unsatisfied with your customer’s behavior? Learn to keep your nerves under control. Excessive use of such emojis as  or  may cause your customers feel intimidated, or worse – only add fuel to the fire. Showing understanding and forgiveness rather than reprimanding is definitely more rewarding.

5. Do not go overboard

Let us assume you have already tested the waters and decided it is safe to put the emoji symbol in your online conversation. But before you do, bear with us a little longer and take this one final tip. There is only one step separating you from sounding like a friendly businessman and an overly emotional teenager. And this step is moderation. Do not let emojis become your trademark – using them once in a while is an acceptable frequency, but deploying them on a regular basis (every day, every client, every message) is a big no-no.

Emojis have turned into such a widespread phenomenon that trying to resist their charm (and potential!) is simply futile. We are positive that by following our five golden rules of emoji etiquette, these lovely symbols will add much valor to your business discourse and help you build long-lasting relationships with your clientele.

And how important are emojis to you in business communication? Share your viewpoint by voting in the comments below! Use the 1-5 rating scale, where 1 marks means ‘rather unnecessary’ and 5 means ‘very useful’.
