Rock Bottom Golf Boosts Conversions by 39% and Sales by 45% with Channel Intelligence Shopping Engine Service
New Case Study Shows How Rock Bottom Golf Improved Profitability of its Shopping Engine Programs.
Orlando, FL, August 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Online retail sales channels for serious eCommerce operators typically include a program targeting consumers who use shopping engines. However, many retailers struggle to achieve maximum profitability from these niche channels when they rely on in-house resources only. Channel Intelligence, Inc. (CI), a leading shopping engine service provider, has just published a new case study detailing how its SellCast™ Retailer Solutions helped Internet Retailer Top 500 company Rock Bottom Golf take their shopping engine program from a time-consuming sales effort to an efficient revenue-producing channel that drives web traffic, new customers and sales while increasing brand awareness.
Working with Rock Bottom Golf over the past two-years from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2008, CI helped the retailer achieve a year-over-year increase in total sales of 45 percent with a 39 percent increase in conversion rate and 33 percent jump in revenue per click. Key components of SellCast™ driving the company’s performance included managing and optimizing data feeds to shopping engines, supplying detailed, accurate reports that made profitable decision-making clearer, and the ability to set guiding business rules according to the reported data.
“Our internal resources were very limited and we knew we couldn’t grow our shopping engine program if we also had to manage the maintenance and delivery of our data feeds each day,” states Brian Schwank, Director of Marketing for Rock Bottom Golf. “Utilizing the shopping engines has been a great way for us to reach more consumers and increase our overall revenues. With CI’s help, we have been able to have a successful and profitable program.”
SellCast™ Retailer Solutions drive profitable sales from shopping engines, online marketplaces, affiliate sites and search engines to online retailers and local retail stores. Through a combination of innovative data optimization services and the option for complete end-to-end management of this marketing channel, SellCast helps retailers improve achieve success with product-focused online advertising.
