"If you build it they will come." It's too bad that maxim doesn't apply to ecommerce. Then every retailer's products would virtually fly off the shelves. Unfortunately, it's just not the case. That's why savvy online retailers turn to multichannel marketing strategies in order to reach maximum exposure. With so many product marketing options, however, creating a winning game plan can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be.
Bing is at it again, and right in time for holidays! Product Ads were a big hit in attracting shoppers on the Yahoo Bing Network last year because of their rich, engaging format. This year we’ve launched Bing Shopping Campaigns to help advertisers capture our shopping audience with enhanced control, insight and efficiency, and with consistent management across advertising platforms.
Today, Google announced its Purchases on Google pilot that enables consumers to click on "Buy on Google" ads to complete purchases. Shoppers complete the purchase using Google-stored payment data, which is then sent to retailers to process and fulfill. Merchants handle all customer service communications and “own” their customer’s data.
Bing Ads is changing how its product feeds are organized. Beginning Aug. 1, 2015, all feeds submitted to Bing must be updated with the new field names or they will be rejected.
Product data feed optimization is essential to being competitive and profitable on shopping channels like Google Shopping, Amazon or eBay. And there’s no better example of this than product variations (also known as variables or options).
You’re spending on ads, but are you missing the free product placements your competitors are using to win clicks? This guide shows you where they are—and how to get in.
