When was the first time that you came across Data Feed Marketing solutions?

I was introduced to Google shopping when it launched in Denmark in 2013. Since then a long list of services have been available, which is also why you need something extra in order to stand out in the search results.

In short: Product feeds are deceptively easy to use. While they require little work to become effective, it requires substantial work to optimize the feed and get the most performance out of your product feed campaigns.

 What other applications do you see in the future for Data Feed Marketing over the next 5 years? 
  1. Smarter feeds, that are more tightly connected with a shop. For example, it should automatically delete or estimate values of discontinued products or products with a long delivery time.

  2. Feeds should be able to automatically split test e.g. product descriptions, display URLs etc.

  3. Product feeds should be able to “learn” the language spoken in an organization and adapt that language to the feed’s content.

  4. Smarter bidding so that you get even more visibility, only cheaper. 

  5. Feeds for other lines of business like Google is doing now with travel industry e.g. consultant businesses etc.

  6. Feeds for new media.
