ShopClues.com Selects CAKE by Accelerize to Fuel India's Largest Ecommerce Marketplace

NEWPORT BEACH, California, October 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Accelerize (OTCQB: ACLZ) (OTCBB: ACLZ) and its digital marketing software division CAKE, announced today that ShopClues.com from Clues Network Pvt. Ltd., has selected CAKE's digital marketing SaaS-based platform to launch its ecommerce affiliate program. As India's largest, fully managed marketplace connecting buyers and sellers online, ShopClues.com utilizes CAKE to manage affiliates, structure payouts and track mobile app conversions for its ecommerce site comprised of nearly 7,000 brands which include Samsung, Nike and LG.

Founded in 2011, ShopClues.com features a marketplace where buyers can purchase more than 30 million products spread across upwards of 5,000+ categories listed on their ecommerce site. From mobile phones to tablets, fashion to footwear, electronics to home appliances, ShopClues.com offers a wide range of options at the lowest price to its shoppers. Prior to CAKE, ShopClues.com leveraged a proprietary system to manage its affiliates. With the launch of its new buyer and seller marketplace, ShopClues.com needed a platform that could provide real-time comparative performance analysis of all affiliates. CAKE was selected for its robust tracking capabilities, customized reporting and unique dashboard views for each affiliate.

"As an advertiser, we required a solution that could provide deeper insights into our affiliates' performance for greater campaign control and optimization," said Nitin Agarwal, Senior Marketing Director at ShopClues.com. "CAKE played a pivotal role in helping us launch our Shopclues.com Affiliate Program by providing an easy online signup process and unique dashboard views for our affiliates to monitor their performance on a real-time basis."

eMarketer predicts that total retail sales in India will exceed $800 billion this year, up 14% over 2014 and is expected to reach $1.419 trillion in 2019.

"CAKE is thrilled to empower fast-growing India-based companies, such as ShopClues.com, with the insights they need to make metric-driven decisions that result in customer acquisitions," said Santi Pierini, CAKE President and Chief Operating Officer of Accelerize. "As performance marketing continues to grow on an international level, advertisers have higher expectations and the avenues for success continue to expand. CAKE provides a seamless solution for advertisers to nurture and deliver return on their investments."
