Our management used to be divided between data and our approach to price comparison sites, costs soared and we lacked visibility.

Materiel.net chose to distribute its product catalogue on price comparison sites to gain visibility and attract a new audience to its online store at the same time. The brand is also present on retargeting platforms (banners and emails) to redirect customers who abandoned their shopping baskets, who are more numerous during the holiday season.

With Lengow’s solution, all of our data is centralised in one place. This means we can distribute more easily and better target the offers we’re proposing at a given time. In addition, we have found a tool which has quickly ensured our business development in France, and increased our market share. We have become more flexible, and our decision-making is much faster.

The platform thus provides the brand with the opportunity to distribute its products through various marketing channels and manage its campaigns from within Lengow platform, giving feedback on performance indicators. It provides statistics for each feed, for products, dates, revenue, ROI, and number of clicks.
