Sales & Orders Integrates with Free and Fast Annotations on Google Shopping Ads in the US

BETHPAGE, N.Y., July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Free and fast annotations for Shopping ads brings to US merchants an entirely new and exciting opportunity to enhance the visibility of their product ads on Google and is likely to help store owners drive more conversions and ads efficiency.

Throughout part of 2019 and now into 2020, Sales & Orders was a pilot partner to enable merchants on this new opportunity which has just exited its Closed Beta Testing phase.

What are free and fast annotations for Google Shopping ads?

Shoppers today have incredibly high expectations, and that is surely not to change in the near or even distant future.

According to a Walker Sands study back in 2018, 79% of US consumers had said that free shipping would make them more likely to shop online. To put that even more into perspective, a similar study issued by Narvar saw that 53% of those consumers won't even purchase a product if they don't know when it will arrive.

Free and fast annotations for Shopping ads aims to solve for the pain points of both merchants and consumers with special annotations for these Shopping ad units on Google search which highlight not only free shipping on products but also expected delivery and/or arrival times.

Merchants in the US could see improved conversion rates and ads efficiency as a result of adding free and fast annotations to their Shopping ads. Especially in these trying times of the coronavirus pandemic and continued spread of COVID-19 in the US, free and fast annotations for Shopping ads is also an opportunity for merchants to provide more information to shoppers in a way that can have a lasting impact on consumer confidence.
