Adaptive Avenue @ Best Buy (Remix)

Exercising the unique advantages of Remix…

 

We built the following suite of Best Buy ad units using ‘Remix‘, Best Buy’s application programming interface (API). An API is a publicly-available view of Best Buy’s vast product catalog.

 

These ad units are designed to leverage Remix-specific product attributes — attributes that are not available in Best Buy’s product feed for Commission Junction. We used a range of attributes to filter the product catalog by various dimensions and actively promote various product sets / catalog views. Once conceived, we built each ad unit in minutes — without custom development or technical intervention. We simply varied the Remix query that is attached to our presentation layer for each ad unit.
 
We emphasized the following product attributes / promotional dimensions for this suite of ad units.
 
-  Sales Rank
-  Release Date
-  Nationally Featured
-  On Sale
-  Free Shipping
-  Customer Review Average

 

Imagine the possibilities… many other variations are possible!

 

Adaptive Avenue @ Best Buy (Commission Junction)

We created this Best Buy ad unit featuring ‘digital cameras’ in minutes — without programming — using Best Buy’s product feed for Commission Junction. The ad unit includes Best Buy’s entire inventory of digital cameras — approximately 200 products. The service is updated on a daily basis. It could easily be updated on an hourly basis or even more frequently.

This ad unit will provide Best Buy affiliates with a multi-product alternative to more primitive single-product and brand-level ad units. According to a study by Commission Junction, product links are in high demand by Web publishers because they increase conversion rates by 2x, on average, relative to brand links.

We’re prototyping a similar ad unit using ‘Remix’, Best Buy’s open API. Remix will provide even more flexibility than Best Buy’s product feed for Commission Junction.
