PacSun Boosts Online Revenues with Rakuten Marketing Search; Digital Marketing Technology Leader Honored at 2017 Kenshoo Infinity Awards
SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Rakuten Marketing, a leading technology company that enables brands to increase sales through data-driven marketing, is announcing its superior work in boosting online sales performance and shopping program efficiency for retailer PacSun.
With Rakuten Marketing Search through Kenshoo's advertising platform, PacSun has refined its strategic marketing approach to focus on consumer engagement (click performance) and automated ad spend management. Tactically, this means the company is automatically breaking products into new product groups based on click performance and automating advertising bids to ensure PacSun meets their investment goals. In a move that has dramatically improved its online performance, PacSun has realized a 78 percent increase in ROI, 16 percent decrease in cost-per-click (CPC) and 57 percent increase in conversion by focusing click coverage on top-converting products and bidding down on high-volume, low converting products.
"With Rakuten Marketing Search, we've successfully refined our online marketing strategy and approach. Given the fiercely competitive retail landscape in this advancing digital age, it's imperative that retailers stay ahead of the strategic curve. PacSun's success is a clear picture of this," said Tony Zito, CEO, Rakuten Marketing. "Kenshoo is a highly valued and established partner that enables us to drive tremendous performance and revenue success across our broad client portfolio, including PacSun."
Founded in 1980 as a small surf shop in California, PacSun has grown to be a leading retailer offering a cross-section of emerging brands and trending fashion through the lens of Los Angeles. Throughout the contemporary, street wear and active lifestyle markets, PacSun partners with top brands to constantly offer curated collections, rare products and collaborations to consumers worldwide.
