Official Blog » Smarter's Fourth Birthday!

This month marks Smarter.com’s *fourth* birthday!!

Besides a special offer for merchants outlined in the bottom of this post, I thought I’d let you in on a *few* of our proudest accomplishments over the last 4 years (in no particular order):

• First comparison shopping engine in US, China, & Japan simultaneously

• In Fall of ’07, Smarter was included in Inc. 500 Magazine’s top 500 fastest growing private Companies in America

• Smarter’s parent company (MeziMedia) was acquired by ValueClick Media in August 2007

• Smarter reached to #4 ranked CSE (comparison shopping engine) by traffic volume in just 3 years from launch

• Smarter was the first CSE to launch Video Product Reviews through a partnership with ExpoTV (Smarter is currently  featuring 63,251 live product reviews!) 

• Smarter was one of the first CSE’s to offer daily blogs (We currently offer blogs across six categories!) Go to: http://blogs.smarter.com to check them all out!

Over-all Smarter is very happy to be the first CSE to provide an integrated shopping experience for shoppers. We put reviews, rebates, coupons, videos, merchant reviews, product specs, and blogs all right at their fingertips!

Here are some additional key points that a merchant should know about Smarter.com:

• Merchants can add and manage bidding and special offers at the category OR product level!
• Merchants can utilize our ROI Tracker and see all their traffic results down to Cost-of-Sale with one easy account!
• Smarter can take feeds designed for other online sites and use them to populate our site with their products!
• Smarter has recently launched an expanded Ad Deck of additional advertising opportunities for our merchants including display ads and a newly updated Featured Merchant program!

And finally, here’s the moment that I’m sure you’ve been waiting for in this post (drum-roll) - our special B-Day celebration offer! It’s always nice to receive a little incentive, so for any merchant that open’s an account with Smarter within the rest of the month of July (moving forward from today for those who would ask!!), Smarter will offer $50 in bonus clicks to your account! What a great way to begin a profitable time partnering with Smarter.com!
