SimilarWeb, the leading digital market intelligence company, today announced the release of SimilarWeb Digital Insights, a highly customized solution that disrupts the way online businesses address their most critical challenges. SimilarWeb Digital Insights complement SimilarWeb PRO, the company's flagship SaaS platform, and further leverage the company's massive volume of data covering hundreds of millions of devices across more than 190 countries. With this new product, SimilarWeb provides an exclusive, granular view into key market signals, including: purchase intent, brand share, channel conversion, and product category performance.

"SimilarWeb enables us to uncover our competitors' online strategy, benchmark ourselves, and grow our digital market share. From unparalleled on-site search, to accurate conversion metrics, SimilarWeb's new insights into consumer intent take us way beyond our current bandwidth and scope," said Nicolette Harper, Worldwide Director of Retail Marketing at Microsoft.

Other brands that have been using SimilarWeb Digital Insights in beta include Reckitt Benckiser, and Galeries Lafayette.

To showcase the new product's capabilities, SimilarWeb analyzed the overall performance and marketing channel effectiveness for men and women's apparel on Amazon during the 2016 holiday season. For the first time, the market has visibility of consumer behavior down to a brand and product category level. SimilarWeb Digital Insights revealed that buyers not only shop more for men's jeans on Amazon - with 75% more product views, but that men's jeans also convert at a significantly higher rate than women's on the site. Additionally, SimilarWeb revealed that during the holiday season the conversion rate from referral traffic to women's jeans doubled from 8% to 16%, quantifying the effectiveness of affiliate marketing. With these new insights, brands and retailers can make data-driven decisions about product strategy, marketing spend, and brand messaging.
