Do you wonder why HP, L’Oréal, C2G, Philips and 280 other brands are more online successful than your brand?

Find why in our case study: C2G


Despite all the efforts you put into providing accurate product information to your resellers, you still:
  • Find obsolete information on your resellers' shops,
  • Notice that your brand’s online visibility is low,
  • See that your product specs are not uniform on your channel partners' sites,
  • See that the presentation of your products by your channel partners is often disappointing and doesn’t raise the brand awareness you want,
  • See that your multimedia content is not present on the resellers' web stores,
  • See that it takes days/weeks before your channel partners display content of newly announced products,
  • And…you would like your brand to outperform by streamlining the channel support processes.

Open Icecat's know-how in content syndication offers manufacturers a platform to overcome these issues, standardize their content and deliver high-quality data to more than 47,000 resellers worldwide, in easy-to-integrate formats (XML, URL, LIVE – Javascript, CSV, HTML).

See our Case study: C2G, major brand producer of connectivity accessories.


The Challenge:  Provide manufacturer-approved product information to a large group of online resellers from the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, in simple-to-integrate formats.

The Open Icecat Solution and objectives:



The Process:


The Results: In the first five months of partnership with Open Icecat, C2G product datasheets registered a considerable increase in the number of downloads by Open Icecat’s users. C2G also reported an increase in number of orders, cross-sales margins, unique skus requested and new customer acquisition. For more information about C2G contact Icecat.
