In addition to the updates of Promotions Manager, Loyalty, SMS and SSL, Fishbowl has also implemented an updated design to the overall look of its platform.

“The Fishbowl user interface has been redesigned to incorporate updates for the header, content pages, main navigation, fonts, colors, buttons, and form elements,” said Dreymann. “This new design is more in line with the Fishbowl brand and new product design direction.”
