San Mateo, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - June 14, 2007 - A new 3D marketing study, revealing the influence of search analysis for the conversion lifecycle of paid keywords, has been released by Coremetrics on-demand web analytics solutions firm.
The recently released 3D Marketing platform, has reportedly empowered Eckler's, the specialty retailer of Corvette parts and accessories, to accurately attribute increased value to its paid search program. As a result, Eckler's recognized that paid search delivers 61% more revenue, through a fully automated, multi-dimensional analysis of how keywords influence shoppers during the buying cycle.
According to Coremetrics, the approach proved that specific, targeted pay per click (PPC) keywords influence far more conversions and sales than previously believed. The scientific, accurate tracking provided by Coremetrics' 3D platform conclusively proved what Eckler's had suspected - that products with long buying cycles (e.g., tires and exhaust systems) were impacted significantly by paid search, and that customers respond through multiple marketing channels as part of the sales cycle. Eckler's challenge was to identify the real, long- term value of paid keywords, such as ''Corvette tires,'' which often initiated a buying cycle, but didn't directly lead to a sale. Eckler's is now able to identify, for the first time, how a given keyword is performing over time and in concert with all of their marketing programs, enabling the company to allocate its search investment accordingly.
Tom Holodak, Vice President of Information Services at Eckler's remarked, ''We intuitively knew that we were buying the right keywords for our products with longer sales cycles, even though they didn't always convert right away. Coremetrics 3D Marketing gave us conclusive proof that new visitors were coming to our site via paid keywords, evaluating products, returning multiple times through natural search or other marketing referrals, and then buying. Now we have concrete visibility into how all our marketing programs are working together and have 100% confidence in the value of our search program. Based on the insight we gained with 3D Marketing, we can optimize our marketing spend and correctly attribute significant new revenue to our paid search program.''
The precision afforded by Coremetrics has resulted in the strengthening of Eckler's paid search strategy. Decisions that were previously based on intuition are now based on rigorous data, resulting in a reliable, repeatable process for evaluating keyword performance over time. Eckler's now assesses keywords based on a complete, long-term picture - taking into consideration visitor behavior over multiple visits.
John Squire, Senior Vice President of product strategy at Coremetrics added, ''Our clients now have the capability to view marketing value attribution from multiple dimensions. Clients can precisely target the sequence and time period over which their customers were impacted by all their marketing programs, telling them where their conversions are coming from and revealing the true value of every single campaign.''
At Eckler's, more scientific keyword buying decisions have driven 61% in additional revenue from paid search. Based on the business results driven by this insight, Eckler's is now expanding 3D Marketing to all their channels. Coremetrics 3D Marketing enables marketers to simultaneously track the multiple influences that impact each consumer at any point in the sales cycle, providing unlimited insight into marketing campaigns along three dimensions: drawing new visitors to the site, nurturing them along the conversion cycle, and triggering action to purchase.
