Using HeyStaks to improve Magento Search

This is a guest post from Gerard Keohane, CEO of StudioForty9, an e-commerce development agency and a HeyStaks partner.
HeyStaks Site Search for Magento

When a potential customer uses on-site search on an ecommerce site they are up to 5 times more likely to convert to a sale…

…as long as they find what they’re looking for.

Do you have confidence in the search functionality on your site? Do your customers always find what they’re looking for quickly and easily? Or do you think that your search results are letting you down and damaging your bottom line, because – let’s face it – out-of-the-box search in Magento sucks, and many of the third party modules don’t make a whole lot of difference.

This is what I had on my mind during Web Summit 2013 when I met Lorcan Jordan of HeyStaks and he told be about how HeyStaks combines best-in-breed search functionality built on a technology designed to learn, so that a user’s search results will keep getting better.

Data Driven Advertising: MNO Revenue Simulation

by on

$17.96 billion advertisement revenues travelled through the worlds’ Mobile Networks in 2013; a figure that is forecasted to grow to $98 billion by 2018. In 2013 this created a cost for Mobile Network Operators and $18b revenue for Internet Publishers, OTT players and Ad networks.

This market is driven by Data, with in excess of 50% of advertising revenue now spent on acquiring data. However, Mobile Operators do not participate in this revenue, even though they have access to more data on the interests and behaviours of Internet users than OTT players and other ad revenue generators.

The HeyStaks platform creates an advertisement Data Asset for the MNO and provides the interfaces to allow the MNO monetize this asset in 3rd party ad networks, including that of our partner, Smartpipe.

This document introduces the HeyStaks & Smartpipe solution and describes how this solution will earn €3.2m sustainable Quarterly revenue for a 3m subscriber MNO. The factors that influence this revenue, including the parameters and usage numbers used in this revenue simulation are explained to allow you translate to your own context.
