Take Control of Your Product Data, Online Marketing Channels and Partner Relationships


Channel Management with Chanalytics(sm) is the most powerful and cost-effective tool in the marketplace that enables ecommerce merchants, agencies, and companies seeking data centric solutions to customize, optimize, submit, adjust, monitor, and analyze data feeds to third-party partners and any online marketing channel. Examples include:

  • 200+ Consumer Shopping Engines such as Google Product Search, PriceGrabber, Pronto, and Shopzilla
  • Marketplaces such as Amazon.com, Go Daddy Marketplace, and Shop.com
  • Affiliate networks such as Commission Junction, LinkShare, and Share-A-Sale
  • Mobile commerce Platforms such as Barcle, mPoria and mShopper, and
  • Strategic Partners which require a customized data feed

With Channel Management with Chanalytics(sm) online merchants are able to make immediate changes to their product feeds based on intelligent analytics, empowering them to increase their return on ad spend.

Chanalytics(sm): The Analytic Tool

Chanalytics(sm) is offered FREE as an integrated feature in Channel Management. Chanalytics(sm) helps online merchants:

  • Monitor the return on ad spend of marketing campaigns on CSEs, and
  • Gives merchants statistical feedback on how products are performing.

Empowered with this information, the merchant can, for the first time on their own, see how their feeds are performing and react to it - in real time. Merchants review reports that guide them to manage their channel product feeds more efficiently.

By sending only their best performing products to a given channel, merchants identify non-performing products more quickly. The result is higher return on investment, immediate control of channel feeds, and real time feedback on the most cost effective pay-per-click online marketing channels.

Three Easy Steps to Get Started Using Channel Management with Chanalytics(sm)


Three Easy Steps to Get Started Using Channel Management with Chanalytics(sm)

1. Import Products  Import Products:

Client imports product information from their storefront software, an existing feed file, or even a simple spreadsheet, into the Channel Management application. Although many storefront software platforms are preconfigured, this step sometimes requires a one time, simple mapping process. The import step is then automated.

2. Optimize Catalog Data  Optimize Catalog Data:

Clients use their product knowledge to create business rules which will automatically optimize their products, content, and the channels to which they feed, helping to create the most efficient marketing possible.

3. Feed the Product Catalog  Feed the Product Catalog:

The Channel Management application will automatically convert the file formats and present the final file to each channel while incorporating the optimization for each particular channel. The feeds are then scheduled, and altered only when a client wishes to increase marketing efficiencies within that channel.
