• "When we finally decided to investigate data feed management solutions one of the most demanding shopping seasons was approaching, and we had no option but to fast track our online channel marketing project. After researching various vendors, we selected Mercent because of its reputation and proven performance in the marketplace," said Steve Tazic, ecommerce marketing manager, Abt Electronics. "To further compliment the Company and its technology, Mercent has one of the most responsive and knowledgeable professional services teams in the industry. They had our system up-and-running in less than 30 days – just in time for the holiday shopping season."
• "Given an increasingly competitive retail environment, we knew we needed to elevate our online channel outreach for sales success. After evaluating several vendors, we chose Mercent because of their superior platform and highly qualified professional services team," said Sue Ghilarducci, director of marketing, Sur la Table. "We're already seeing solid results from our investment in Mercent Retail software services."
• According to Buyz.com CTO Leon Kuperman, "Mercent can tell us on a granular level what advertising options are profitable and what options are not, and with that information we can set a typical return on ad spend goal of about 400 to 500 percent and actually meet that."
