Boost Sales and Acquire New Customer

Comparison shopping engines(CSE's) offer you a low cost, low risk means to: Expand your market presence Acquire new customers Increase online sales Improve advertising ROI

For online and brick-and-mortar retailers, comparison shopping engines (CSE's) represent a very cost effective way to get your products and brands in front of millions of shoppers.

Today over 40% of in-store and on-line purchases start at a comparison shopping engine making them a compelling and important channel for retailers.

Unlike a general search engine such as Google or Yahoo!, where visitors search for information on a wide variety of topics, comparison shopping engines allow shoppers to research the price and details of specific products. They bring together brand and product information for consumer in easy to view, rate and search format making them very popular with today’s informed consumer.

When a shopper finds an item at a desirable price, the CSE redirects them to the your site where they can make a purchase, learn more about your brand and get directions to your store.

CORESense's fully integrated CSE Data Feed Manager enables you to easily select and submit products to Comparison Shopping Engines. CORESense is integrated with Shopping.com, Google Product Search, Yahoo! Product Submit, NexTag, Shopzilla and PriceGrabber and additional custom integrations are available. Once you have created an account with each of these CSE's, you simply select the products and corresponding CSE's, and CORESense automatically formats and feeds the data to each CSE.When a customer finds one of your products, they are redirected to your site to make the purchase or find directions to your store. You only pay the CSE when someone clicks through to your site.
