Leading Australian Online Retailer Zodee.com.au Turns to Baynote
and StoneBridge Systems to Optimize Conversions


Adaptive Recommendations Increase Average Order Value by 18 Percent, Allow Merchandisers
to Respond to Customer Needs in Real-time

San Jose, Calif. and North Sydney Australia, Nov 30th, 2010 — Baynote, a leader in personalization and digital marketing optimization, and StoneBridge Systems an Australian based partner today announced that Zodee.com.au, Australia's leading online retailer for women’s designer lingerie and swimwear, is live with Baynote’s Adaptive Web Suite for eCommerce  and is already achieving an increase in average order value (AOV) of 18 percent through its use of Adaptive Recommendations. By adapting the digital experience in real-time, Zodee shoppers are being shown the right products at the right time even if they have never shopped there before.

 “We like how Baynote shows our shoppers products that suit their immediate needs,” said Simon Pallister, managing director at Zodee.com.au. “Baynote increases our conversion rate, is giving us immediate returns and paying back our investment in a few short months. It also integrates with our chosen email marketing product which will allow us to offer add-on recommendations at another customer touch point. This is a real benefit to us.”

Zodee will use Baynote’s Adaptive eMail to easily include product recommendations in its promotional campaigns as well as retargeting and cart abandonment emails.  For example, Zodee is able to recommend accessory products that other like minded shoppers also found useful, in product purchase confirmation emails.  What is offered in emails is updated in real-time based on product availability and current onsite behavior.  The Adaptive Web Suite gives Zodee complete merchandizing control, balancing community-driven recommendations with merchandising and business objectives.  It also allows merchandisers to decide which products to promote and which ones to exclude by pinning, magnifying or blacklisting products for both email campaigns and onsite product recommendations.

“Having seen the results of other implementations, we knew that Baynote would enable Zodee to offer an adaptive digital experience that always engages the customer,” said Peter Murphy, director of sales at StoneBridge Systems.  “The Baynote eCommerce solution makes it easier for shoppers to discover the most useful products and content based on engagement patterns of like-minded customers. This approach is proven to significantly increase conversion rates, resulting in improved sales and profitability.”
