AdRoll Partners with WooCommerce to Enhance Customer Targeting Capabilities and Increase Conversions

AdRoll Partners with WooCommerce to Enhance Customer Targeting

AdRoll, a leading marketing and advertising platform for growing brands, today announced a new partnership with WooCommerce, the popular open-source ecommerce platform for WordPress. The integration enables merchants to track and target online shoppers more effectively with cross-channel campaigns, helping them increase conversions and revenue.

The integration, or extension, allows merchants to automatically place a pixel on their website to track customer behaviors in real time, such as adding a product to the cart or viewing the checkout page. This data is used to create customer segments that can be targeted with personalized ads and emails based on their shopping journey. The integration also pulls a store’s product feed to the AdRoll platform, enabling merchants to dynamically show shoppers the exact products they interacted with, allowing for highly targeted messaging.

AdRoll's WooCommerce integration is a game-changer for busy marketers who want to get started with personalized marketing campaigns quickly and easily, without any developer support. The integration also allows easy setup of AdRoll's marketing automation templates, which provide a guided setup experience to help businesses tackle their top marketing objectives like converting cart abandoners or re-engaging shoppers that left after browsing the store. These automated flows use a strategic combination of display ads, social ads across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, and email to influence shoppers' purchasing behaviors.

“We are thrilled to partner with WooCommerce to help their merchants increase sales and revenue,” said Vibhor Kapoor, President of AdRoll. “AdRoll's mission is to democratize marketing technology for all sized brands, and this integration enables busy marketers to leverage their data to create personalized, cross-channel campaigns quickly and easily.”

Steve Deckert, Interim VP of Strategic Partnerships at WooCommerce commented, “We are excited to bring AdRoll’s proven expertise in retargeting and cross-channel marketing to our merchants. The integration helps them leverage their data to create personalized campaigns that increase sales and revenue, and we are looking forward to seeing the results our merchants will achieve with AdRoll's platform.”

Partnering Up for AI Success: AWS Drops Hints About Program Evolution

Amazon Web Services | September 06, 2023

AWS discreetly hints at upcoming changes within its partner program framework, particularly in AI and partner engagement initiatives. Partners can expect three critical components in upcoming partner programs: Generative AI, partner collaboration, and Marketplace enhancements. AWS approaches generative AI differently from other Amazon divisions, focusing on a corporate perspective. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is reorganizing its current partner programs, hinting at forthcoming changes related to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and collaborative partnerships among its associates. Partners can look forward to three key elements that are expected to be integrated into the partner programs later this year – the incorporation of generative artificial intelligence, increased collaboration among partners, and improvements to the Marketplace. The forthcoming announcements will address many of these subjects, stemming from the consistent inquiries posed by partners to the cloud industry leader. AWS will approach generative AI with a distinct perspective compared to other aspects of the Amazon enterprise, as it examines this technology from a corporate rather than a consumer standpoint. AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Channels and Alliances Jeff Kratz stated, "Our approach is to democratize and have the broadest and deepest solution set, so that depending on what the customer needs, the partner can fulfill it." AWS has been actively involved in discussions with its partners, gathering valuable input on safeguarding intellectual property and harnessing the capabilities of large language models. Additionally, the company has emphasized the increasing enthusiasm among its partners for nurturing collaborative relationships within the partner ecosystem. Instead of solely pursuing individual endeavors, these partners seek opportunities for strategic partnerships, aligning with AWS's commitment to supporting channel partners as they transition toward managing and reselling managed services. Another crucial component is AWS Marketplace, a platform currently undergoing substantial investment by the cloud giant and designed to serve independent software vendors (ISVs). Nevertheless, AWS acknowledges the potential for systems integrators (SIs) to thrive within this ecosystem. AWS remains committed to significant ongoing investments in the AWS Marketplace, fostering an environment where ISVs can effectively showcase and expand their solutions both on a global and domestic scale. Moreover, it recognizes the opportunity for SIs who wish to offer private marketplace solutions while actively supporting such endeavors.

As a result, we’re seeing an uptick in replacement of older martech solutions in favor of modern platforms with deeper engagement, intelligence, and data capabilities.” “We chose Zeta based on their vision and commitment to stay ahead of the market. We are excited to be partnering with Zeta to redefine and deliver cutting-edge Generative AI capabilities that will elevate the way we engage clients and prospects.

Trend Micro Drives New Era of Channel Prosperity and Engagement

PR Newswire | October 06, 2023

Global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) has announced a complete redesign to the company's worldwide partner program. This re-design will accelerate business growth for partners and allow them to further deliver exceptional value to end customers. Eva Chen, CEO at Trend: Our partners have been an indispensable part of our extraordinary journey spanning over three decades. We anticipate the achievements still to come as we continue to strategically align with our partners to safeguard the digital world. As we introduce a new era of the channel with this completely re-designed partner program, I am proud to announce our joint mission to enable partners to become the most resilient cybersecurity companions and guide our customers through their security lifecycle. The program is built around the Trend Vision One™ platform, creating opportunities for partners to deliver services and assessments for both enterprise and SMB-focused partners. Customers are facing increased risks as threat actors derive greater monetary value from criminal activities. As cybersecurity demand grows, the need for in-house skills to protect data, companies, brands, industries and governments grows as well. Partners can close this gap by delivering value via crucial services: MSSP, MSP, SOCaaS, XDR, Incident Response, and much more. To address this need, Trend is improving the ability for partners to offer assessments to customers, including Cyber Risk Assessments, new additions of External Attack Surface, Cloud Posture, and Azure AD Assessments. Over 800 partners have already leveraged Cyber Risk Assessment Services to complete 1,400+ customer assessments—and more new services are on the way. Anne Saunders, Global Director of Cybersecurity Partnerships at Capgemini: "Working alongside Trend has empowered us to deliver unmatched security and tremendous value to our customers. As we see growing complexity in the cybersecurity landscape, our partnership with Trend is a key element to our success in enabling business transformation. We're looking forward to giving more customers the tools they need to secure their organizations with confidence." As Trend and its partners have evolved together, so has another critical component: artificial intelligence, which enables partner analysts to understand the next threat alert, and the next opportunity for growth within customer accounts, further deepening a partner's value to their end customers. Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Canalys: "Hybrid IT environments are growing in complexity, with managed security services serving as a major driver for the channel. At the same time, the channel is undergoing a shift towards cloud, services, marketplaces, incident response and consulting. It's great to see Trend Micro providing extensive support – including a well-balanced Partner Capability Model – that paves the way for partners to excel in managed services, by leveraging the power of generative AI."

Deal registration has seen a significant increase, especially by co-selling partners, with 42% YoY growth in AWS CPPO partners and a 46% YoY increase in MSP partners selling XDR. Sean Barker, CEO at cloudEQ: "Organizations rely on us to address their business challenges and speed up their digital transformation while ensuring business continuity. Security is a shared responsibility and a critical element of the cloud migration journey, and we work alongside Trend to provide customers with proactive and automated cloud security. The latest iteration of Trend's partner program will further enable us to deepen our expertise and broaden our services to safeguard our customers' cloud applications."
