Deal4it Delivers New Interactive eBay Experience
Remember the good old days when you are greeted by a sales person as you walk into a store to shop? Well, experiences like that are certainly uncommon in the online shopping world, and eBay is no exception. But thanks to deal4it.com, that’s about to change.
Deal4it has found an ingenious way to integrate human interactivity into the eBay shopping experience by embedding Rich Interactive Video (RIV) into the listing gallery canvas. Various professional actors will then talk to the shopper in the form of greetings, encouragements, etc.
To make the experience even more interesting, shoppers can barter with the video characters right in the widget, through the Best Offer feature that is available in many eBay listings. The actor can then inform the shopper right away on whether or not the seller has accepted the offer.
"Our unique technology lets buyers actively deal for items with real people who appear to walk right onto the computer screen. The Rich Interactive Video engages shoppers and enhances the selling process by making the experience more fun and entertaining," said Ty Ricker, director of new business development for Deal4it Technologies.
In addition, the same widget can be reduced down to a standard size skyscraper ad that scrolls through listings from a particular eBay seller or listings of certain items. The engaging shopping experience is only enabled if a shopper clicks on one of the items in the scrolling gallery. This kind of rich interactive experience delivered through an online ad is what innovation is all about. Thanks to Deal4It, eBay sellers can now benefit from having a whole team of virtual sales people doing the talking 24/7.
