In a recent test of a new e-commerce technology for �intelligent� cross-selling of accessories, PC Universe (OTC:PCUV.PK) achieved a 22% increase in accessory revenue per order. This result was due to Intelligent Cross-Sell�, a new service from CNET Channel, a property of CNET Networks (NASDAQ:CNET). Intelligent Cross-Sell works like a good salesperson thinks, allowing businesses to target cross-sells by popularity, brand affinity, key selling features, partner incentives, and many other factors. The system then automatically selects and explains the best accessories on a product-by-product basis, dynamically altering selections as inventory and other business conditions change. "Intelligent Cross-Sell enables us to do suggestive selling in a way that's helpful to customers and is measurably better for our business,� said Patrick Colletta, Director of E-Commerce at PC Universe. �Based on these initial results, we believe we can do even better in other categories where we will be applying Intelligent Cross-Sell." The test was conducted on PC Universe transaction data from July 26, 2006, to January 3, 2007. This period was split into �before� and �after� segments to measure Intelligent Cross-Sell�s effect. In the categories where Intelligent Cross-Sell was active, PC Universe had a 22% increase in accessory revenue per order and a 10% increase in attach rate (the percentage of orders with at least one accessory). Equally important as these increases, PC Universe did not need to manage the Intelligent Cross-Sell system on a day-to-day basis. Instead, Intelligent Cross-Sell worked via "guided automation," whereby PC Universe could define the cross-selling logic via business rules but the day-to-day execution was handled automatically by Intelligent Cross-Sell. "PC Universe is an innovator that was quick to embrace the ideas behind Intelligent Cross-Sell," said Steve Krause, Vice President of Analytic Products, CNET Channel. "The numbers from this study explain why." CNET Channel will be hosting a Webcast on March 13, 2007 at 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST. During this session, Steve Krause of CNET Channel will demonstrate Intelligent Cross-Sell with guest Patrick Colletta of PC Universe, who will comment on how his company has used the technology.
