Self-improving Websites Maximize ROI

Coremetrics and Maxymiser Partner to Automatically Optimize Websites

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 19, 2008 – Coremetrics, the digital marketing optimization specialists, today announces a partnership with Europe’s leading onsite content optimization provider, Maxymiser. The collaboration will allow businesses to track visitor response to content variations and automate the process of showing the right content in the right place at the right time to generate sales uplift.

Today’s partnership enables Maxymiser to test the performance of different online content for clients and create fast solutions, complementing Coremetrics’ web analytics tracking. Maxymiser’s technology identifies the most successful content and serves it to more future visitors, enabling marketers to deliver maximum return on investment for their campaigns.

Mark Simpson, Managing Director at Maxymiser, puts the partnership into context explaining: “A web site is often the first customer touch point for brands and its content influences key customer behavior and impacts sales conversion, subscription and click throughs. With high quality traffic becoming more expensive, it’s essential to get web sites working hard and delivering good results.”

Constant online monitoring ensures that as visitor habits change, Coremetrics and Maxymiser can together provide intelligent analysis and solutions to help web sites keep in step with customer expectations. The latest techniques, including multivariate testing, visitor segmentation and behavioral targeting¹ , are all supported in the new partnership.

Richard Sheppard, VP and General Manager of EMEA, Coremetrics EMEA said: “Partnering with Maxymiser is a natural choice for Coremetrics. To date, analytics tracking has been the best tool for measuring success and works very well as a stand-alone service. However, this partnership takes optimization to the next level by using the analytical data to create solutions which will improve online performance.”

¹Multivariate testing enables website owners to test multiple content elements on a web page simultaneously to conclude the best combinations and generate an uplift.
Visitor segmentation segments traffic and target visitors with automatically optimized content (conversion and loyalty is increased by serving more relevant content to visitors).
Behavioral targeting optimizes content based on present and prior behavioral interactions on an individual basis (targeting web site experience to driver conversion uplift).

About Maxymiser
Maxymiser’s platform can quickly test many thousands of versions of web pages. It automatically serves the pages which achieve the highest conversion rate. This provides a very fast and objective method of increasing revenues by shortcutting processes which are traditionally subjective, onerous and often inconclusive. Many clients see substantial revenue increases within days of engagement. Their promotions are more accurately targeted and their user experience can be progressively refined. As result they enjoy increased revenue. Maxymiser was founded in 2006 and is based in the UK with offices in London and Edinburgh.

Maxymiser’s technology is used by a number of major brands including Figleaves, Guardian, QVC and National Express.
