ATLANTA – August 3, 2010

ShopVisible, a leading provider of on-demand ecommerce solutions, today announced seamless integrations with retail channels including Buy.com, Amazon, Craigslist, eBay and Overstock. Through these integrations, the ShopVisible solution enables retailers to manage their entire product catalog at a granular level across diverse channels through one management console. ShopVisible is the only ecommerce platform provider that also enables retailers to automate the entire product approval process for all channels.

“To be successful in ecommerce, you need to increase the opportunities for your customers to purchase your products beyond your own website by opening up your catalog to channels like Buy.com,” said Lance Stern, ecommerce manager at Paul’s TV. “We chose ShopVisible because it makes the process of integrating new sales channels into our ecommerce strategy seamless. No matter what channel someone makes a purchase through, it all flows back through our central ShopVisible solution. Since offering our products through retail channels like Buy.com, we have seen a tremendous growth in sales without the pain often associated with managing and fulfilling the orders.”

Using the ShopVisible solution, retailers can fully manage and automate the sale of their products and services through all major retail channels. Unlike other ecommerce providers, ShopVisible provides a direct, two-way interaction with these marketplaces where products can be selectively pushed to specific online marketplaces and comparison shopping engines and orders are all managed and organized in a single user interface.

"Just as Buy.com is committed to giving our customers the highest level of service, we are equally committed to providing our marketplace partners with the best experience possible," said Neel Grover, CEO and president of Buy.com.  "Integrating with ShopVisible helps our marketplace partners better manage their online sales and, therefore, supports our mission to serve as a leading marketplace for a variety of products and marketplace sellers."

“There’s no reason retailers need to rely solely on their primary websites to drive traffic and revenues. In addition to retailers’ own websites, they need to take advantage of as many avenues for exposure as they can,” said Sean Cook, CEO of ShopVisible. “In today’s marketplace, retailers have a host of new options beyond selling their products and services via their own stores. ShopVisible helps retailers take advantage of online sites such as Buy.com, Amazon and eBay which allow them to market and sell their products to massive groups of consumers. By opening up the retail ecosystem, ShopVisible provides a one-stop shop for retailers to manage their online retail sites and leverage online retail channels.”

If you own an automotive dealership, one of the best ways to sell cars is by using eBay. For years, the most effective way to reach local buyers was through newspaper classifieds. Then, along came the Internet and dealerships were able to post their products online, offering potential customers far more information about the car than a two-line classified ad ever could. However, the Internet is vast, and it’s often difficult for some customers to find a specific make or model during a Web search.

That’s where sites like eBay Motors comes in. Ebay has made it easy for buyers and sellers to find each other. Sellers can list their cars online, provide as much information as needed on the car, and even post photos to supplement their information. Buyers, on the other hand, can conduct a search based on car type, make or model.  They can even narrow their search results to include those cars offered within a specific range of their zip code.  Listing vehicles on eBay provides sellers with huge exposure to a national audience.  Who knows?  Maybe no one in the range of your zip code range wants to buy that ‘71 Nova, but perhaps someone living hundreds of miles away is longing for an old muscle car. You may think that there aren’t many people willing to buy a car sight unseen. (You may want to think again).  EBay motors currently sells a passenger vehicle every 56 seconds.  And, if you’re worried that selling your car on an auction site will bring in less profit than what you had hoped for, relax. EBay has a built-in reserve system that allows you to set your reserve price.  If the winning bid falls short of the amount you anticipated, you’re not obligated to complete the sale. Also, if you happen to find a buyer outside eBay you’re free to close the auction early.  (It’s all up to you).

ShopVisible^TM gives automotive dealerships the ability to automatically list their inventory on eBay.  All pictures and content relating to the vehicle (that would normally appear on your own Web site), can now be transferred directly onto your eBay listing. This new tool gives dealers the ability to quickly create multiple listings on eBay, while exposing their vehicles to a much larger audience and greater potential for a quick sell.

That car that’s been hanging around your lot longer than you’d like may be just the vehicle someone outside your local selling area has been pining for --- and may be more than willing to pay premium price for that exact make and model.

What are you waiting for? Get out there and let ShopVisible^TM and eBay help you sell those cars!
