Clients

Where 2 Get It is growing! We now serve more than 550 brands worldwide, across many industries. No two clients are totally alike, so we develop unique objectives and design criteria for each of them. Here are some examples:

Consumer Electronics

Consumers spend more than $100 billion in consumer electronics each year. Consumers are increasingly relying on the manufacturers’ website to research products before they buy. According to a Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) study, the Internet offers consumers easier product comparisons (91%), greater variety (86%), and lower prices (79%), while only half of consumers prefer to shop online (47%).

ViewSonic uses Where 2 Get It’s Business Locator to provide “Where to Buy” functionality on their corporate website allowing consumers to search for local retailers using zip code, city/state or address. ViewSonic also uses Where 2 Get It’s Product Locator to allow consumers to purchase products online through their online retailers. From ViewSonic’s product page a consumer can click on the “Online Merchants” link to go directly to the online retailer’s product page. This is referred to as Product to Product links or P2P links. Consumers can also click on the “B2B Resellers” link to get local locations carrying that specific product. In addition, ViewSonic added ranking to their online retailers to allow top tier partners to show up first giving ViewSonic the opportunity to use online features as a business partnership tool.

“Where 2 Get It continues to offer solutions that are ahead of the curve,” said the Senior Manager, National Channel Marketing, ViewSonic. “Where 2 Get It has delivered significant value to ViewSonic’s Web-based customer experience as well as our channel partners. Our online retailers say they depend on the locators as a valuable source for leads.”

Consumer Goods

Seiko USA, our very first client, started using Business Locator in 1997. And they still use it today. Visit the Seiko USA website, and you’ll see how easy it is to find all the local businesses that sell Seiko and Pulsar Watches. In addition to our standard Business Locator features, Seiko uses special landing pages and dealer locators to support different national and regional campaigns.

“Consumer experiences and expectations are evolving and at the end of the day, we want to make it easy for the consumer to quickly find our product at an Authorized Seiko Retail location,“ said the VP of Marketing for Seiko. Since 1997, Seiko has remained a loyal customer of Where 2 Get It. Their product’s accuracy, as well as the high level of customer support is superior to the competition and the Business Locator solution helps us maximize our SEO efforts while driving qualified traffic to our retail partners.”

Food Service

Over 163 million Americans are online today. The National Restaurant Association

(NRA) estimates that 37 percent of adults now visit a restaurant’s website before calling or going to a specific location. And you can thank us for that, at least to some extent. Over the past ten years, Where 2 Get It has become a premier provider of location based services to the restaurant industry.Our clients report that on their websites, our locator is typically one of the two most frequently visited sections.

Church’s Chicken has been a long time client of Where 2 Get It and wanted to enhance the consumer experience. The majority of hits to the Church’s Chicken website are from consumers looking for a local store location. They upgraded to Business Locator 2.0 to add enhanced mapping functionality and ease-of-use; SlippyMap™ technology with GeoIP automatically displays locations based on a user’s IP address, without the consumer having to type in their address. They also added Send to Mobile (SMS Text Messaging) capability to allow consumers to send address details as well as driving directions to their mobile devices and email addresses. This ensures that the consumers who are searching, and possibly even their friends, have the information needed to get to the store.

“Where 2 Get It offers the best value for the cost, along with their superior technology and world class customer service, leading us to rely on them as our one source for locator technology needs,” said the Senior Manager of Advertising & Branding, Church’s Chicken.

Sporting Goods

Consumers are using the Internet more and more to research and compare, to plan their vacations and to buy gear. Last season, Internet sales increased 46% in dollars to $492 million and that trend continued in the early part of the 2008.09 season. Consumers are hunting for bargains and buying when they find them.

Patagonia uses Where 2 Get It’s Product Locator to link to online retailers when they are out of stock. Prior to working with Where 2 Get It, Patagonia’s only online sales presence was direct, through its own website. Patagonia wanted to establish a charter group of approved online retailers. They also wanted the ability for multiple daily inventory management updates.

“We are continually striving to provide the absolute best customer service possible, and the Where 2 Get It product locator technology aligns very well with that commitment,” said the creative director for Patagonia’s Web site. “After only a few months, the Where 2 Get It solution has already made dramatic improvements in driving sales of Patagonia products through its online retail partners, as well as directing consumers to offline retail locations.”

They’ve noted a sizable increase in the number of the people who have clicked through their site to an online retailer that have made a purchase, with no decrease in their other sales activity, which is a significant and very fast ROI!
