OREM, UT--(Marketwire - June 2, 2009) - [ Omniture ], Inc. (NASDAQ: [ OMTR ]), a leading provider of [ online business optimization ] software, today announced that [ Vintage Tub & Bath ], a top 500 online retailer, was able to tie offline sales to online ad spend by using Omniture [ SiteCatalyst ] and Omniture [ SearchCenter ]. The company selected Omniture to scale paid search campaigns and analyze search traffic on its Web site.

Vintage Tub & Bath used Omniture SearchCenter and Omniture SiteCatalyst to understand ad spend on the keyword and revenue level and see which keywords were leading to offline sales. The ability to connect offline revenue with online ad spend has helped Vintage Tub & Bath measure actual profit on the products they sell through search engine marketing. Omniture's "profit optimization" capabilities have given Vintage Tub & Bath valuable insight into how much revenue comes from specific keywords and helped the company make more nimble, automated bidding decisions to help drive not only online ROI, but actual profit.

The company was also able to increase profit and reduce valuable time spent mining data using Omniture products. Vintage Tub & Bath needed the ability to rapidly adjust its pay-per-click (PPC) strategy in order to respond to a competitor's quickly fluctuating bids. SearchCenter automatically calculated optimum bids and allowed the company to change bidding in real time.

"Before using SearchCenter, 90 percent of our time was spent mining data and 10 percent of our time was spent acting on what we learned," said Mike Deckman, Internet Marketing Manager for Vintage Tub & Bath. "SearchCenter has reversed those figures."

Omniture SearchCenter, a component of the Omniture Online Marketing Suite, simplifies search marketing by providing a common interface to manage search campaigns, campaign metrics integrated with Web analytics and optimization across marketing programs. By using Omniture SearchCenter in conjunction with Omniture SiteCatalyst, Vintage Tub & Bath gains a more in-depth and holistic view into the performance of its online marketing programs.
