SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2013) - Mercent™, a leading technology company that enables retailers to profitably reach and convert more shoppers online, announced today the publication of its newest customer case study with leading U.S. retailer F+W Media http://fwmedia.com.
Since launching with Mercent, F+W Media has leveraged Mercent's award-winning technology and in-house performance services to drive sales and increase profits across leading online retail marketplaces such as Amazon.com, Google Shopping and comparison shopping engines. Today's published case study outlines how F+W uses the Mercent Retail™ SaaS platform to profitably manage, market and sell its catalog of more than 56,000 products across eCommerce's most lucrative online shopping destinations. In addition to helping F+W expand their product sales across key online channels, Mercent supports the company with its online strategic eCommerce pricing strategies.
F+W Media's director of eCommerce, email and traffic Chris Feldwisch stated, "The complexity and success of operating multiple online stores and serving product and catalog data to multiple channels has showcased Mercent's technical and reporting capabilities. Mercent's integration process has saved us a great deal of time and made us more accurate, and the Mercent Retail Marketplace Price Optimizer extension enables F+W to compete profitably on Amazon by strategically pricing their unique product assortments -- up and down -- to consistently win the Buy Box and grow top line revenue."

Our #1 priority is our clients' success and this is yet another example of Mercent's focus and drive to ensure Mercent clients excel and profit across the most profitable online retail sales channels. 2013 has been a banner year for Mercent in terms of signing new clients and upgrading existing clients. The eCommerce industry overall is growing at an outstanding pace and we're happy to be the vendor of choice for the industry's top retailers in their eCommerce efforts."
