San Francisco, CA (August 5, 2009) – Skai Inc. is excited to announce their latest game-changing feature – RealTime Campaigns. This new functionality links a company’s search marketing program with their e-commerce or inventory system. Connecting inventory and marketing increases advertising effectiveness through higher return on ad spend and greater relevancy. RealTime Campaigns automatically adjust campaign structures and elements including ad groups, keywords, and ads, to reflect real time realities. Skai is the first search engine marketing solution provider in the industry to offer this full featured enhanced functionality.

KENSHOO™ Search technology automates the building of massive search marketing campaigns using highly focused and relevant keywords that drive traffic directly to the value centers in conversion funnels. RealTime Campaign synchronizers automate the process of managing complex campaigns including millions of keywords, bids, ads and ad groups while retaining strategic control over these campaigns.

This new approach is in-line with Skai’s unique Quality Management™ approach to search engine marketing – a holistic approach that manages all aspects of SEM campaigns.  RealTime Campaigns increase value to both consumers and advertisers as demonstrated by dramatically improved quality score, consumer engagement and ROI.

Key benefits of RealTime Campaigns include:

  • Larger Campaigns – because ads are directly connected to inventory, every item in-stock can be advertised easily. The average size for a RealTime campaign is 1.2 million keywords
  • More effective ads – allows for low cost ads of low volume items to help connect niche customers with niche products.
  • Improved Customer Satisfaction – Prevent  ads for out-of-stock and discontinued items

Now, it’s simple to create relevant ads for our entire inventory and make sure we are only promoting in-stock items. This improves our effectiveness as marketers, and improves customer satisfaction and conversion. It’s a total game changer.” says Brian Wulfe,  Online Business Manager, Living Direct.
