Los Angeles and Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) June 03, 2011
Magento Commerce, developer of the world’s fastest-growing eCommerce platform, and Runa, the leader in conversion marketing solutions, today announced a partnership with Runa becoming a Gold-Level Industry Partner to bring Runa’s SalesLift to Magento Enterprise and Community customers.
Available via Magento Connect, the extension will help Magento Solution Partners and Magento customers quickly deploy Runa SalesLift to increase conversions by offering site visitors targeted smart deals in real-time, directly and measurably increasing sales and profits.
“Runa’s SalesLift technology addresses improvements of one of the biggest concerns of eCommerce merchants – shopper conversion,” stated Bob Schwartz, President of Magento. “Runa’s SalesLift targets this problem by using sophisticated algorithms in real-time to deliver intelligent deals to increase merchants ecommerce conversion. We are delighted to bring these tangible benefits to users of the Magento platform.”
On average, eCommerce businesses spend 15-25% of their revenues on SEM, SEO and related initiatives to drive traffic to their sites. Yet the conversion rate of prospective buyers actually buying hovers at a dismal 2 to 3 percent. Runa is squarely focused on solving this ongoing, complex problem and driving measurable increases in conversions, sales and profits. Runa SalesLift performs the following:
- Analyzes each shopper session along multiple variables that affect conversion rates.
- Correlates these results with conversion rate variables for each product/SKU.
- Uses sophisticated conversion algorithms to deliver real-time Smart Deals personalized for each shopper session, while they are still shopping on the site, maximizing conversion at minimum cost.
- Runa has demonstrated that providing the right deal to the right shopper for the right product at the right time significantly boosts sales compared to the usual ‘one-size-fits-all’ deals used by most merchants.
- During check-out, each of the individual deals are automatically applied to the shopping carts, with no change to the shoppers’ purchase flow and no extra work required by the merchant.
- The merchant retains full control by providing the overall business parameters within which the solution must work.
- Actual performance is measured and available through detailed real-time reports.
- Current Runa customers have seen their sales increase by 30-60 percent.
- Runa’s business model is completely aligned with the merchants. Pricing is based on actual sales increases, with no transaction charge until there is at least a 10% increase in sales.
