Integrating Inventory Feeds with Microsoft’s Inventory Catalog

‍

The purpose of this feature was to leverage Microsoft Bing Ads to boost your vehicle inventory's visibility by directly integrating detailed listings for targeted promotions on Bing. This streamlined process ensures your cars are showcased to potential buyers based on their search behaviors, enhancing exposure and engagement. Utilize performance tracking and analytics provided by Bing to continuously optimize your ads, driving effective vehicle marketing and connecting with interested buyers efficiently. To break it down, we convert your car inventory into a .csv file, which is a type of document easily read by Microsoft’s inventory catalogs. Although the initial setup of the account requires a manual step, everything after that is smooth sailing. We place the .csv file link in Microsoft Advertising and set up an automatic daily upload, so you don’t have to worry about updating it yourself.

Meanwhile, 'dropped' reveals the emails that couldn’t make it to the inbox, highlighting the difference between how many you sent and how many actually landed. This enhancement ensures you have the precise data you need to optimize your strategies, ensuring more of your emails hit their mark, and boosting the overall success of your campaigns.
