ShoppingAdvisor allows retailers to focus on the core principles of operating successful comparison shopping programs: minimising spend, increasing revenue and improving efficiencies. ShoppingAdvisor’s built-in profitability management enables retailers to define business rules that will automatically adjust bid levels or remove products to improve results. Pre-defined business rules leverage best practices for increasing product exposure and conversion with the full spectrum of shopping engines. For retailers, this means only profitable products will be featured on the comparison shopping engines, dramatically increasing overall program profitability.
“These partnerships enhance our support of top quality shopping engines to more than 60, enabling our merchants to gain more visibility and more revenue by their relationship with ChannelAdvisor,” says Scot Wingo, Chief Executive Officer of ChannelAdvisor. “We continue to offer industry leading products internationally and in the United States.”
