* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
OREM, UT, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business
optimization
software, today announced that eToys -- a leading children's toys retailer --
has selected Omniture to understand how their customers respond to online
marketing campaigns and merchandising strategies. Using Omniture Web analytics,
eToys, owned by The Parent Company, has gained increased insight into customer
interests and purchasing trends, allowing the company to enhance the online
shoppingexperience for their visitors as well as maximize online ROI across The
Parent Company's Web properties. In addition, eToys plans to integrate
Omniture with their on-site search solution, allowing the company to better
understand what information and products their customers are interested in and
structure their online merchandising and product ads accordingly.
"Web site real estate is a high priority. Omniture allows us to monitor
theperformance of each element of our sites -- including content and offers
--in real time, making it easy to serve our customers' interests by ensuring
online
marketing campaigns are mapped to consumer behavior," said Chris Cummings,
Chief Information Officer at The Parent Company, which owns and operates
eToys. "In addition, by integrating Omniture Web analytics with
partnering site search technology, we will be able to ensure our
merchandising structure effectively drives customers through the buying cycle."
Having real-time insight into consumer behavior on the eToys web site, and
across The Parent Company's nine Web properties -- including eToys.com,
BabyUniverse.com and MyTwinn.com -- was particularly important during the
recent holiday season as Cummings could determine needed changes to site
content and offers immediately.
Through Omniture Genesis -- an integration platform for Omniture partner
technologies -- eToys will integrate site search technology. With the
combined insight of Omniture SiteCatalyst Web analytics and site search,
eToys will be able to gauge the effectiveness of its internal search
activities by understanding which search terms are used the most, which terms
drive the most purchases, which terms are ineffective, and more. The company
can then leverage that information to ensure their products are structured
effectively and make certain customers are finding the information and
products they are looking for.
"Online retailers' main objective is to attract and engage each customer
ontheir site, guide them to the products they are searching for, and make
thepurchase process clear and easy," said Chris Harrington, president, worldwide
sales
and client services at Omniture. "Omniture helps companies achieve that goal by
optimizing each step of the consumer experience -- improving acquisition
strategies, campaign performance, shopping cart processes and more to drive
maximum profitability."
