Diapers.com Accelerates Shopping Engine Program with the Help of Channel Intelligence

Baby supplies retailer turns to CI’s SellCast® Solutions for improved product data optimization, reporting and shopping engine management tools.

Orlando, FL, August 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Channel Intelligence, Inc. (CI), the leader of performance-based marketing solutions for manufacturers and retailers, announced today that Diapers.com has selected its SellCast® Solutions to manage the company’s shopping engine program. Diapers.com has been live with CI’s Sellcast® Solutions since early July 2009 and has achieved positive results thus far. Over the past 30 days Diapers.com has enjoyed an average conversion rate of about four percent and a return of over six dollars for every dollar spent to advertise its products on shopping engines.

Diapers.com began advertising on shopping engines in 2007 and soon realized that this channel was an excellent way to drive traffic and increase web sales. Over time Diapers.com outgrew its initial service provider and began to investigate more robust offerings. The company wanted better optimization of its data feeds, better reporting and most importantly, better management tools that would enable them to easily manipulate data feeds on-the-fly. Having been a part of CI’s Ad Network where the company received leads direct from manufacturers, Diapers.com decided to compare CI’s SellCast® offerings, specifically the soon-to-be-released Self Management Portal for shopping engines, against other self-service options. Diapers.com selected CI.

“CI has a great reputation in the industry and we felt confident that they could help us take our shopping engine program to the next level,” states Matthew Lindenberg, Assistant Director of Marketing for Diapers.com. “As an added bonus we are one of the few retailers CI selected to use their BETA Self Management Portal. CI’s new self-management tool gives us the ability to take a hands-on approach to our shopping engine program. We like to live in the numbers, and with CI’s offering we can make changes to business rules ourselves or work with client support. Having that freedom is perfect for us.”

SellCast® Solutions help retailers derive greater profitability from online marketing programs such as shopping engines and online marketplaces. There are two programs for retailers to choose from, Managed Services, which provides a complete outsourced option for enterprise retailers with limited internal resources, and Advisory Services, which provides help and guidance to retailers who wish to manage the program themselves. CI has enhanced Advisory Services with the pending September release of the Self Management Portal, currently in BETA, which will give retailers the ability to directly manipulate and customize data feeds on demand.
