Coremetrics Spring 2008 Empowers
Marketers with Rapid Decision Making
Enables Marketers to Make Business-Critical Decisions
with Powerful, On The Fly Analysis
SAN MATEO, Calif., May 6, 2008 – Coremetrics, the leading provider of digital marketing optimization solutions, today announced its new product release, Coremetrics Spring 2008. This new and innovative offering empowers online businesses to take immediate action to optimize their digital marketing initiatives in a highly visual, user-friendly way.
Coremetrics Spring 2008 delivers a powerful new application for ad-hoc Web data analysis, Coremetrics Explore™. Explore enables marketers to independently analyze and explore data across all their campaigns and Web properties at an extremely granular level, including custom reporting on the attributes of individual Web page elements.
Explore’s advanced filtering and segmentation capabilities allow marketers to view the specific data elements that are most important to their business. Explore also supports attribute reporting, which enables analysis of Web data based on the characteristics of an individual page, product, transaction or event rather than on generic campaign performance or superficial click-throughs. This also includes the ability to rapidly evaluate and analyze a variety of Web 2.0 Rich Internet Applications, such as Flash.
For example, media sites can analyze and segment visitor behavior based on the specific, tagged attributes of a certain page, such as whether people search for a specific author, genre or language. In an e-commerce environment, this could mean filtering products such as shoes by brand, type, color, size or price, among other meta-data attributes.
“Coremetrics Explore gives us a significant advantage by enabling us to dig deeper into Web data, allowing us to adjust campaigns on-the-fly and learn even more about our visitors,” said Ken Seiff, chief executive officer of Diet Television, a Coremetrics client and beta user of Coremetrics Explore. “With the rich array of content and data on our site, Coremetrics Explore is a valuable tool for making strategic marketing decisions quickly and painlessly, which has a real impact on how we conduct business.”
Coremetrics Explore allows digital marketers to dive deeper into the data that is most valuable to them and to their specific business needs in an easy and efficient manner. Dynamic graphing and reporting capabilities give marketers and executives a highly visual and impactful representation of business data, allowing immediate action to be taken to adjust and refine their initiatives. Explore also eliminates the need for existing Coremetrics clients to add new tags to their Web pages—a time-consuming effort often requiring intensive IT support.
“The ability to carry out detailed, ad-hoc reporting means you can stay one step ahead, as you can analyze your specific business needs and take immediate action to improve results and ROI,” said John Squire, chief strategy officer at Coremetrics. “We provide a suite of standard reports with Coremetrics Online Analytics, but many businesses need to answer unique questions about their campaigns. Marketers need to be able to slice and dice the data in real time and in many ways to get at the answers to these questions. However, this shouldn’t have to be a laborious or overly complex process or require specialized resources or a consulting engagement. This type of analysis should move at the speed of your business.”
Coremetrics Spring 2008 also includes the launch of Enterprise Dashboard, enabling marketers to track and analyze key performance indicators over multiple sites. Intuitive, customizable and continuously updated, Enterprise Dashboard provides improved access to holistic business data and allows for better-informed decision-making and more successful online campaigns. Enterprise Dashboard provides a variety of viewing options to handle multiple comparisons in real-time, including multi-currency and multi-country data that can be used for instant analysis and then stored for subsequent review.
Coremetrics Spring 2008 also includes enhancements to several Digital Marketing Applications:
- Enhancements to Intelligent Offer enable retailers to get even better lift on cross-sells, by easily building sophisticated recommendation rules based on categories and on product attributes, such as product margin, price and color. Once rules are defined, marketers can apply them to specific products they wish to target.
- Coremetrics Search now supports management of text and display ads on extended content networks with major players in the space, such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN. With this enhancement, ads managed in Coremetrics Search can be placed on many leading multi-media content sites and Web properties including sites such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal Online and MarthaStewart.com. This gives digital marketers the opportunity to reach over 80% of worldwide Internet users through extended distribution channels. Moreover, enhancements to bid management rules – including the ability to create bid rules based on whether a keyword serves to acquire net new customers, or based on bounce rate – provide marketers with a strategic weapon in a competitive bidding environment.
- The Coremetrics Connect platform is enhanced in the Spring 2008 release with the addition of the Connect Profiler, which gives Coremetrics customers a library of best practices that contains integration documentation at the partner class level. More than 25 certified partners are represented.
