Why AI based PPC automation is far superior to Rules Based Engine

Imagine you plan to drive across your country and visit some cool places along the way. What is the most important technology you would need to have a successful enjoyable cross country trip? Most people take this for granted, but it’s our GPS. we don’t even need a separate device for it, it’s built into our phones. Twenty years ago people had to print out their maps, draw the route and and follow it. They had no idea of the traffic or the road closures or any alternative routes or diversions due to changing conditions. So why I am telling you this? Because people using rules based system are a lot like people downloading their maps and planning their journey rather than let an automated GPS show you the way. In this blog post I am going to walk you over some ways that Rules based PPC system is destroying your PPC game. Death Spiral Of all the worst things that could happen when you use a rule based system this one stands out as the worst. So what’s the death spiral? Imagine that in th

Is consumer loyalty lost through e-commerce?

Electronic commerce has an increasingly greater weight in consumer buying decisions. Potential customers of brands and retailers no longer only buy in their physical stores, but, in fact, increasingly do more and more in their online stores. As the weight of e-commerce within the overall trade is greater, more and more interested are brand managers and marketers in understanding how they consume and what is most interesting to buyers in the internet age. That is, brands wonder how these buyers are and what it will take them to consume. And, above all, they wonder how the relationships they will establish with these consumers once they pass that first moment of purchase. The future situation is complex Consumers buying more and more online and spending more and more money on their purchases in the network does not necessarily imply that they are establishing a loyal relationship with those places in which they buy. In fact, online shoppers are far less loyal and loyal to the brand than

Why packaging is decisive when it comes to success in e-commerce?

Image
When a buyer receives an Amazon package, he can see quite easily (sometimes it is printed on the same box, sometimes it is on the packaging tape with which they have closed) a message that invites you to rate the package in which the product has been shipped to you. The company is one of the most concerned about how to design their packaging and how they work when the consumer receives it at home. And whoever has ever received a package from this online store already knows that they are very easy to open and that with many times simply pulling a tab the thing will already be done. Amazon is also one of the recurring examples used when discussing the importance of packaging in e-commerce and how the form in which products are shipped can completely change the way in which the company is perceived. One of the general mistakes made by e-commerce firms is to think that their work, the main job that the consumer will take into account when evaluating their work, ends at in moment in which t

The Power of Experiences

Image
One of the recurring things in studies is that consumers are now looking for different relationships with companies. That they also expect them to offer different content, different actions and establish links. All this based on different things from those used in the past. In the language of brand strategy, new words, such as feelings, emotions and experiences, have begun to appear more and more persistently. In this last point, companies are still beginning to understand what they should do and how they should play with it. In fact, the experiences are not only important for themselves, but also begin to be important for their impact on other elements. Experiences are key to generating those emotions and feelings that consumers are seeking to establish as links to their favorite brands. They're sometimes the only possible way to create that value relationship with them. Few are the companies that have a budget destined to connect with these consumers using the marketing of the ex

Is free shipping a big lie?

Image
One of the first lessons learned about e-commerce is that consumers are not willing at all to pay for receiving the products they buy. Free shipments are one of the reasons why consumers decide to stay with one e-commerce firm and not another one of the causes that explain the success of one company over another. Consumers have begun to demand that the things they receive are received for free and have made shipments one of the key pieces of the e-commerce puzzle. In part, it has been the fault of the e-commerce companies themselves that, from the beginning, have used the resource of receiving product at the door of the house at no cost as one of the great marketing elements. Although consumers have taken for granted that shipments should always be free of charge and that brands should not charge them for any reason, the truth is that (and it is actually logical) shipments are never free. Making things come from the company that is selling them to the door of our house has a cost, a co

Ecommerce is completely changing our consumption schedules

Image
Internet does not have a schedule: everything is open 24 hours a day during all days of the week, whether it is a holiday, or at night or an hour too early in the morning. There is not a moment of rest and there are no moments when you can close for vacations. The Internet is an environment that is always open, always available and where things are done when you feel like it or when you feel you need it. And this has changed the dynamics of access to information, relationships and, of course, consumption. The network has eliminated the opening hours and has made the stores have become an always active and always open element. Ecommerce does not have schedules and consumers can buy their products at any time. And this has already had an impact on what is done on a recurring basis and the customs of consumers. Consumers no longer buy with store hours. Shopping has spread throughout the day and, especially, at night. The most salient finding of the study on buying habits and the timing of

Those over 50, the new opportunity for electronic commerce

Image
    Millennials have ceased to be the future of electronic commerce in favor of Silver Internet users. Internet use among those over 65 has increased greatly in recent years. The first users of Internet shopping were the Millennials, however, this generation has lost purchasing power in favor of their parents and grandparents, who are maintaining stable incomes and even pensions, have more time available and money to spend on the Internet. On the other hand, the population of the whole world is aging. By 2050, it is estimated that there will be more people over 65 in the world than children under 14. In particular, the number of adults over the age of 80 is expected to quadruple by 395 million. The idea that Internet and online shopping are oblivious to this older consumer has become obsolete, however, the budget allocated to this target audience in marketing departments is minimal. However, online retailers are not easy because the category of over 50 is very varied. It is a complex g

Starting Out: Creating A Simple Business Plan

What is a Business Plan? A business plan does not need to be a complex 70-page document on how you plan to run the business. When you are just starting out a simple business plan is often the easiest and most correct thing that you can do. Ideally, your business plan should have 9 or more sections to it. However, you can get away with an even simpler business plan if you are doing this to raise extra money, and not wanting to take on the local bigshot in your business niche. The simplest business plan is designed for you so that you are able to work out key ideas and goals of your business. This is not a "bank quality" business plan, the simple business plan above is more appropriate if you are seeking outside funding for your bookstore. Name of Business: One of the first things to consider about names is the ability to register them in the Domain Name System on the internet if you plan to build a web site later on. The other is to make sure that another Amazon bookseller has

As you engage yourself into online business, you will be taking, accepting and fulfilling orders online.

M-Commerce and mobile commerce: How to make the most of it during the summer?

Image
Summer and heat are once again one of the most feared e-commerce times, which until now were forced to dust off their heavy artillery if they do not want to experience a considerable decline in their sales. In the summer, customers and potential customers disconnect their computers and set off for the beach to slip on their sandals, put on their swimsuit and lie on the sand. However, it seems that the season is going to be different, and is that, in this holiday context that is characterized by a certain distance between the brand and the consumer, the mobile is presented as a great help to alleviate this summer fall. This summer the mobile becomes the ideal travel companion. State-of-the-art cameras allow users to share their services and videos on their social networks, finding excursions and activities is easier than ever, and booking a room in a hotel or table in a restaurant is not a problem. The purchases through the mobile reach their maximum exponent with the "trade of the

As a seller, there comes a time when you are most interested in scaling your customer acquisition channels to grow your business. Sometimes it can be a tall order knowing the best platform to bring traffic to your site; traffic that you can convert to actual customers.

However, you can do better; that there are ways you can test channels faster, get more flexible, and even leverage existing customer data for a more in-depth insight into your next audience? Sounds interesting, right? One thing is for a fact; eCommerce is all about generating sales.

The star product that women in the network are looking for are household items and decoration, what is the reason? Furniture stores are often separated, on the
