Pricing & Promotions
In the dynamic space of eCommerce, it is crucial for a brand to monitor the pricing of their products on online channels. To some extent, online consumers challenge the concept of loyal customers; a price which is just slightly higher than the competition can make you lose even your loyal customers.. Brands must have complete visibility over competition and their own product pricing to strategically use promotions, discounts, deals, and coupons to increase online sales, have competitive pricing, and improve advertising conversions.
Kinator helps you to:
- Track the selling price of each of your SKUs across platforms, authorised or rest of the sellers and locations

Out of Stock
