What is the problem you are solving, and who are you solving it for?
Uptick is designed for e-commerce merchants who want to drive pure margin growth and generate more revenue without adding complexity (or cost) to their operations. Uptick helps brands transform their order confirmation pages into experiences that drive incremental profit all with minimal technical effort or integration time. After the customer has completed their purchase (and is apt to continue shopping) an offer is placed just above the order details, turning order confirmation page real estate into bottom-line profit.
What is new, innovative and different about your solution?
Uptick places the most relevant ads – and therefore the most profitable – in front of consumers, to ensure client brands reap the most incremental profit, and customers have the best possible experiences, driving significantly higher performance. Uptick ensures incentives are aligned between advertisers and client brands to show only the ads that will convert at the highest rate, and we’re constantly testing into the ad creative and placement to ensure they do. The result? Brands earn more from the same ad inventory from advertisers like Disney+ and Hello Fresh.
