ANDOVER, Mass. — September 8, 2009 — Silverpop ®, the world’s only provider of both email marketing and marketing automation solutions specifically tailored to the unique needs of B2C and B2B marketers, has partnered with SeeWhy, Inc. , the website conversion company, to integrate Abandonment Tracker Pro and simplify a website owner’s remarketing efforts. The integration enables optimized and automated, real-time email follow-up campaigns that can convert up to 50 percent of website abandoners to customers.

SeeWhy Abandonment Tracker Pro brings automated, real-time email remarketing to Silverpop Engage Transact customers. The result is a real-time remarketing solution that users can get up and running very quickly and easily, enabling them to send follow-up emails to website visitors immediately following abandoned sessions.

“Retailers understand that time is of the essence,” said Loren McDonald, vice president of industry relations for Silverpop. “This partnership provides our customers an opportunity to gain back an otherwise lost sale by tracking web abandonment in real time and allowing easy email follow up to provide further customer support.”

Realizing Real-time Email Follow Up

Abandonment Tracker Pro is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering that automates and optimizes abandonment follow-up actions to meet the growing demand for remarketing solutions. According to SeeWhy research, only two percent of web analytics users are able to conduct email remarketing campaigns within one hour to follow up with people who abandon their sites. Moreover, 90 percent of those users not currently doing email remarketing want to start. The e-tailing group 8th Annual Merchant Survey reinforces those statistics, revealing that targeted email is the top technique most merchants plan to use to impact web conversion.

While many industry experts assert that best practices require an immediate, first follow up with abandoners, email remarketing is typically done several days after a website visitor abandons a site. Recent research studies by analysts consistently show that an immediate follow up is most relevant and least intrusive to the recipient.

“By integrating with Silverpop first, Abandonment Tracker Pro gains a real-time email capability,” said Scott Silk, CEO of SeeWhy. “When it’s done right, immediate email follow up with website abandoners can have a dramatic, positive impact on a site’s conversion rates. Up to 50 percent of abandoners can be encouraged to buy simply by following up effectively. After all, for email to be relevant, timing is everything. Wait too long to follow up and abandoners wind up buying from someone else or losing interest altogether.”
