iMergent Inc. (IIG), a leading provider of eCommerce software for small businesses and entrepreneurs, signed an agreement with Microsoft adCenter, a pay-per-click advertising platform for budgets of all sizes, to integrate Microsoft’s new tools and features into StoresOnline Pro beginning May 21st. iMergent will earn a commission for each adCenter account setup through StoresOnline.
Don Danks, CEO of iMergent, stated, “We are committed to seeking relationships with companies such as Microsoft that can provide valuable assistance to our StoresOnline merchants’ overall success while creating additional revenue streams for iMergent. Pooling the collective buying power of the growing number of StoresOnline merchants is expected to increase our ability to secure additional valuable relationships that can provide our merchants with products, services and tools to improve site traffic.”
Microsoft adCenter is an effective, low-cost way to get new customers to find a merchant’s business. The agreement provides all StoresOnline merchants with:
- A $50 credit toward advertising when setting up a new Microsoft adCenter account;
- Microsoft adCenter minimum cost-per-click of $0.05, on par with
Google’s and half the cost of Yahoo!’s;
and - A low set up base with Microsoft adCenter of $5 to begin bidding on search term placement.
“We believe the Microsoft adCenter search tools make building and maintaining a solid pay-per-click campaign easier, more predictable and much more powerful than other solutions,” said Jason Porter, VP of Business Development for iMergent. “StoresOnline has consistently led eCommerce software technology to create best-of-breed solutions; as such, we targeted Microsoft adCenter as a partner. Also, when a merchant sets up a $5 Microsoft adCenter account via StoresOnline he or she will have earned a $55 advertising credit.”
Prior to the StoresOnline integration of Microsoft adCenter, Microsoft staff will educate StoresOnline staff to train StoresOnline merchants to use Microsoft adCenter.
