April 29, 2014

PriceSpider, an online retail marketing service provider, has announced expanded availability of its Where-to-Buy services. Previously available in the consumer electronics space, the PriceSpider WTB service is now also available and in use in the home appliance, toy, automotive parts, sporting goods and consumer packaged goods markets, the company said in a press release.

By leveraging real-time web crawlers instead of the customary and limited data feeds, PriceSpider said its WTB technology serves up instantaneous information for quick consumer action and retailer advantage. The service can be integrated into a manufacturer's website allowing:

• consumers to see real-time pricing and stock information for online and local sellers, greatly improving the shopping experience;
• a brand to gain invaluable insights into what consumers are purchasing even if they're buying other products;
• a brand to determine which digital marketing campaigns are resulting in the most online sales;
• mobile shoppers to use their phones and tablets to locate and purchase products or get directions to their local sellers; and
• any retailer in any country to attract consumers and sell products with PriceSpider's global WTB solution.

With the PriceSpider WTB service, consumers visiting a manufacturer's website see all authorizedand preferred sellers endorsed by the brand. In addition, consumers can directly view up-to-the-minute pricing and stock availability.
