In this article written by Kate DeBevois, Senior Associate Editor for Target Marketing, the spotlight turns on GravityStream. Derek Fortna, Cabela’s Marketing Programs Manager, reports on GravityStream’s implementation and success.
With its Web site approaching 50,000 product pages and more than 200,000 unique products, such as â??hunting socks,â?? â??compound bowsâ?? and â??riflescope accessories,â?? the company required a more robust natural search solution. So it turned to software provider Netconcepts to update its site with GravityStream, a natural search management platform that helped Cabelaâ??s gain a real-time, Web-crawler version of its site and allowed the company to optimize existing pages without rebuilding the entire site. This resulted in a 200 percent traffic increase and a 50 percent online sales increase within the first six months of implementation.
