Optimizing product content for eCommerce

VisionTek was experiencing challenges with the eCommerce content it provided to its key partners.

These issues were hurting sales and customer buying experiences, and the manufacturer was experiencing high levels of returns. VisionTek chose GfK Etilize to provide accurate, detailed, and consistent product information for all its channel partners: retailers, resellers, and distributors.

Providing clarity for customers

GfK worked closely with VisionTek’s marketing team to quickly optimize its full catalog using its Etilize solution. The GfK team used its existing relationships to syndicate the enhanced content. This rapidly solved the distributor’s eCommerce issues. They then identified which retailers were not using the Etilize solution and converted them to this best-in-class solution.

With a complete catalog available in Etilize, more of VisionTek’s partners switched for the accurate, standardized content to provide the clarity customers need when making buying decisions.

This includes resellers like CDW, Insight, and Dell, marketplaces such as NewEgg, Walmart, and Amazon, and additional distributors like TD Synnex and ASI.

Today, Etilize works closely with the VisionTek team to ensure new product launches are handled fast and that online messaging is on-brand and optimized.

“Since we started working together in 2017, we have deepened our partnership,
the scope of our projects has expanded and we have helped each other to grow. With eCommerce so vital to our business, this relationship truly infuences our success.”

Jacob Brooks
Digital Content Strategist, VisionTek

The results were immediately positive for key distributors with improved eCommerce experiences, better customer journeys, conversions, and sales.

The two partners have maintained an effective relationship rooted in achieving VisionTek’s eCommerce goals. GfK Etilize works with numerous teams, including Marketing, Product Development and Sales.
