For a commercial site that wishes to be present on as many web sales platforms as possible - thus partly reaching millions of potential consumers who shop on the Web - the export process for the product catalogue can be extremely complex.
This is where the product feed manager comes in handy. It's a service company that helps e-retailers with their basic product export process towards different trading platforms through a software solution.
These can be:
- marketplaces;
- price comparison websites;
- retargeting networks;
- boards and affiliate partners;
- AdExchange;
- And so on ...
These online trading networks lay down their own rules regarding dissemination of data catalogue and regular updating of the product catalogue. By using a product data manager, an e-retailer may:
-
- save time on feeding networks with products database ;
- export on multi-channel without having to worry about compatibility issues (technology, language ...);
- optimize the choice of products to be exported by creating product catalogues tailored to the different communication supports for a better conversion rate;
- get reports and analyses regarding product performance (number of clicks, margins, return on investment ...)
- centralize product data, in order to have a global vision of all its align="center"e-marketing campaigns on all channels.
A product data feed manager is therefore a valuable aid in the face of the complexity of the various e-commerce channels!
