Ciao.com Launches in USA and Forms Partnership with MerchantAdvantage to Help Online Merchants Reach New Customers

It is wonderful to be able to announce that MerchantAdvantage, a company I co-founded, is the first data feed, tool based company to be supporting Ciao.com in the USA.

There are other companies that are now working with Ciao.com, but I am always happy to be able to say that MerchantAdvantage continues to be on the cutting edge of data feed management and marketing tools and very often the first in the marketplace to work with new companies that help online retailers grow their business.

Ciao.com, a pay-per-click CSE, extended a special offer to MerchantAdvantage clients the beginning of January and now I am allowed to write about Ciao.com publicly, as they are extending their special offer to other online merchants, outside of the MerchantAdvantage family.

Ciao.com approached me a few months ago, via eTaildTail and MerchantAdvantage, and we have now added this wonderful, new shopping comparison site to our client list of supported, shopping comparison channels. I was lucky enough to be the fist person in the data feed management business to speak with Ciao.com, several months ago, and work closely with their senior team both in Europe and the USA.

Ciao is giving any online merchant 3 FREE MONTHS of clicks with no further obligation, so sign up now through February 8.

With all of this information users are much closer to a purchase rather then just browsing a homepage.
