Demandware’s clients have it easy!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

30 minutes (or less) to launch the Bizrate surveys on the Demandware platform.

Demandware and Bizrate Insights partnered to make launching the Bizrate surveys within the Demandware platform a snap! Really – we did all of the heavy lifting.

Bizrate Insights developed a cartridge for Demandware that Demandware client just need to download and then apply two small snippets of code to their templates. Just be sure to have a Bizrate account first. And that’s it!

Even the Demandware team is amazed at the ease of implementation given the incredible value proposition that Bizrate Insights offers.

See the implementation documentation for Demandware.

A small logo is used on the survey invitations (free) and on our site in the comparison shopping search engine results.; and a bigger logo for the surveys and on our sites.
