AmeriCommerce Partners with GoDataFeed To Simplify Data Feed Marketing to Comparison Shopping Sites

January 14, 2009 – AmeriCommerce, a leading provider of shopping cart software and storefront solutions, teamed up with GoDatafeed.com, provider of affordable datafeed management services, to automate the submission of AmeriCommerce stores’ products to various comparison shopping sites including Shopping.com, Shopzilla, NexTag, Google Product Search and many more.

“Both GoDataFeed and AmeriCommerce are designed to help merchants drive more traffic to their sites and our integration provides our retailers with a turn-key solution to promote products on a variety of comparison shopping sites and affiliate networks,” said Ed Sturrock, AmeriCommerce Product Manager. “GoDataFeed’s robust and user-friendly platform simplify datafeed marketing, optimize product listings and update Americommerce store information automatically—saving our merchants valuable time and resources.”

Now, AmeriCommerce clients can instantly import their product data into GoDataFeed’s system to automate their datafeed marketing efforts. GoDataFeed has created a seamless import process that automatically retrieves AmeriCommerce stores’ product data and updates it daily. To introduce the service, GoDataFeed will setup AmeriCommerce merchants’ first three feeds on the GoDataFeed system-- a $225 value--at no cost, during their first month’s risk-free trial.

“We are excited to provide AmeriCommerce clients with effective datafeed management that will accelerate their marketing efforts on multiple retail channels,” said Ro Grosman, GoDataFeed’s Director of Technical Operations. “GoDataFeed empowers AmeriCommerce merchants by giving them the right tools to enhance their visibility on the comparison shopping landscape and give their stores a competitive edge.”

As sales shift away from brick-and-mortar stores, research [1] indicates that online retail sales are expected to exceed $300 billion in sales by 2012 and 75 percent of online shoppers purchase products they research on comparison shopping sites. Optimizing product feeds is a key element in shopping channel success and GoDataFeed’s software has all datafeed templates and categories built-in, making it easy to optimize product data to each shopping site’s unique requirements.

GoDataFeed’s Web-based, sleek-user interface is designed with the Web 2.0 experience in mind, catering to retailers, SEM firms and hosting companies. The software supports more than 50 Comparison Shopping Engines and affiliate networks, including:
