Plimus Inc., provider of the leading independent outsourced e-business platform, announced that its recently-released Network Sales offering is delivering growth in invoice size of as much as 68%.
Plimus Network Sales allows merchants using the Plimus E-Business platform to promote partner merchants’ products within the standard purchase process used by all E-Commerce customers. When promotional options are selected by customers, invoice sizes are boosted by as much as 68%, delivering net-new revenues to both merchant partners involved in the transaction.
“We introduced the Network Sales capabilities with the clear goal of delivering net-new revenues to all merchants using the Plimus E-Business platform,” commented Simon Jones, VP of Marketing at Plimus. “We are thrilled to see that merchants taking advantage of this capability are seeing clear financial results.”
Traditionally, online merchants have been split into two fundamental camps: merchants who sell their own products; and affiliates who market products created by others. In a Network Sales partnership, merchants are able to partner to market and sell one another’s products. In this way, the originating merchant is able to gain valuable visibility and net-new sales for their product; and the selling merchant is able to increase their revenues by recognizing a revenue share on all partner product sales.
Plimus E-Business platform members are pre-qualified to participate in the Network Sales program, and can make individualized partnership agreements direct through the Plimus Control Panel. Plimus charges no additional fees for participation, and makes no incremental demands on the participating merchants.
“Our goal is, and has been, to move the Plimus E-Business Platform into the Profit Center column for our clients,” concluded Jones. “With the numbers we are seeing, adding a Network Sale promotion to purchase pages not only covers a merchant’s costs, but actually brings profitable revenue to the bottom line.”
