PriceGrabber.com Announces the Launch of Its New Cost-Per-Click Merchant Bidding Platform
Merchants are now able to bid on cost-per-click rates for specific products, helping them manage cost and traffic exposure
LOS ANGELES, June 2 -- PriceGrabber.com®, a part of Experian, announces a significant change in its pricing model with the launch of its new merchant bidding platform available to all PriceGrabber.com cost-per-click merchants. PriceGrabber.com's new bidding platform allows merchants to determine cost-per-click rates for individual products impacting the product ranking and traffic exposure.
PriceGrabber.com's new bidding model allows merchants to bid up or down the cost-per-click rates on particular products to optimize product rankings and traffic. This option gives merchants more control over their marketing spend and the ability to keep all product offers live while better optimizing their budget.
"We understand merchants can afford to pay more to advertise some products and less for others," said Graham Jones, vice president of merchant accounts for PriceGrabber.com. "The platform offers merchants more flexibility to meet their customer acquisition goals for the entire product catalog."
With PriceGrabber.com's discount bidding, merchants can list their entire catalog of products and stay within cost parameters. Premier bidding allows merchants to increase their volumes by securing top-tier product placements on PriceGrabber.com and the syndication network. The new platform enables merchants to create an optimal balance between discount and premier bids, maximizing the opportunity for sales on all product offers.
"PriceGrabber.com's shift to a bidding model has been very significant to PROVANTAGE," stated Michael B. Carioti, manager of marketing development at PROVANTAGE. "The ability to bid on the cost-per-click rates for specific products is helpful for optimizing clicks and traffic, which ultimately helps us to list more products and manage costs more effectively."
