totes>>ISOTONER Grows Revenues Using The MarketLive Intelligent Commerce Platform With MyBuys And Bronto For Relevant, Targeted, Cross-Channel Campaigns
Seamless Integration of Partner Solutions Allows totes»ISOTONER to Convert More Customers, Increase Basket Size, and Strengthen Loyalty
MarketLive, Inc., the leader in eCommerce software and solutions, recently announced that totes»ISOTONER, the world's largest marketer of umbrellas, gloves, slippers, and other weather-related accessories, has implemented a cross-channel marketing solution that seamlessly integrates MyBuys, the leader in cross-channel personalization, and Bronto Software, the leader in cross-channel marketing, with the MarketLive Intelligent Commerce platform to increase revenues through relevant, targeted campaigns.
"Over the years, we've developed an in-depth understanding of totes»ISOTONER customers," said Chris Reighley, Director of eCommerce for totes»ISOTONER. "The challenge has been finding the best way to use technology to communicate with them in a personal and relevant way. With the seamless integration of partner solutions like MyBuys and Bronto with our MarketLive eCommerce platform, we are now able to quickly and easily reap the promised benefits of one-to-one marketing."
For example, totes»ISOTONER has created a group of customers it calls "lookers." These shoppers have visited the site and signed up to receive email messages, yet haven't made a purchase. Importantly, this group of customers is interested enough in the totes»ISOTONER brand to have also signed up to receive email messages from the company. Using MyBuys and Bronto, totes»ISOTONER can now better understand what these customers are doing on the site and then send them personalized relevant messages and offers to convert them into actual buyers.
MyBuys personalization suite matches each shopper's evolving product affinities and preferences with a retailer's ever changing catalog to deliver personalized product recommendations and offers within websites, emails, and display ads. "The pre-built integration between MyBuys, MarketLive, and Bronto is helping retailers such as totes»ISOTONER quickly realize the power of personalized marketing in a very short period of time," said Robert Cell, CEO of MyBuys. "We expect many more retailers will tap this partnership to quickly bring their marketing up a level for the upcoming holiday season."
The Bronto Marketing Platform provides retailers, branded manufacturers and other commerce-focused companies with a solution for email, mobile and social marketing. With advanced automation, triggered messaging, e-commerce integrations and dynamic content, Bronto helps turn buyers into repeat customers through highly personalized messaging. "Consumers today expect only the most relevant and timely offers and promotions from their favorite brands, and we're thrilled to help totes»ISOTONER exceed those expectations by using our marketing platform in partnership with MyBuys and MarketLive," said Joe Colopy, Bronto CEO.
The MyBuys and Bronto solutions are integrated with the MarketLive Intelligent Commerce platform that leads the industry in performance, functionality, and ease of administration. The multifaceted platform offers the features, built-in best practices, and flexibility required by retailers as they operate and grow their online businesses. MarketLive offers midsized retailers reliable 24-hour-a-day service, scalable IT infrastructure, and the ability to easily integrate third-party and custom-built features that drive customer acquisition, conversion, and retention.
"The results totes»ISOTONER has experienced with the combination of MarketLive's platform with MyBuys and Bronto is a perfect reflection of how we work with our partners," said Mark Pierce, CEO of MarketLive. "First, we partner only with leaders in their respective markets to give our customers the best solutions possible. Second, we fully integrate our partners' solutions into the MarketLive platform. And third, we make it easy for our merchants to work with both MarketLive and our partners to get the most out of the integrated solution.
