• Geo-personalization: Tailor messages and promotions according to a visitor's language, city, region or country
• Cross-sells and Up-sells: Present visitors with complementary products and services based on dozens of parameters
• Behavioral Targeting: Identify mouse behavior or click path that suggests a visitor may be considering abandoning a shopping cart or online form, and then deliver special offers and calls to action to help them complete the transaction
• Site-pathing: Hide or highlight features or sections of a site to maximize relevance to visitors based on online behavior
• Pre-sales and Post-sales Support: Remove obstacles from the purchasing, onboarding and support processes by servings tips to visitors who exhibit signs of difficulty or encounter site errors

Customers are seeing early success with LP Marketer. Newark/element14, a global leader in electronics equipment distribution, was one of the first businesses to implement LP Marketer, rolling out the technology in their Americas division.

"To say that we have been both shocked and amazed at the value LP Marketer has driven would be an extreme understatement," said Will Anfeldt, eCommerce Project Lead of Newark/element14. "We've seen an incremental lift in conversions by 16% and average order values by 7%, so we've had a lot of success in driving revenue using LP Marketer-so much so that the rest of the company in Europe and Asia is eager to get the same functionality up and running for them."
