KANA (NASDAQ: KANA), the leading provider of external-facing eCRM solutions, announced in May 14 that eBags, the world’s leading retailer of bags and accessories, has seen a significant rise in profitability and enhanced customer service through the deployment of KANA’s Web-architected eCRM solutions. eBags selected KANA Marketing(tm) software to enable the company to understand its customers’ buying behaviour and to act on the results through automated, personalised campaigns. As a result, the company increased browse-to-buy conversion rates by 60 percent.
In the highly competitive online retailing industry, the key to success is converting site traffic into revenue. Since the deployment of KANA’s Web-architected solutions, eBags increased its ability to make fast and accurate marketing decisions five-fold, resulting in 20-30 percent more revenue from the same amount of customer traffic. Simultaneously, the automation acquisition costs, assisting eBags in reaching its goal of sustained profitability.
