New York, NY (PRWEB) April 27, 2017 -- Movable Ink, the global leader in contextual email technology, has announced the Movable Ink Real-Time Pricing Solution. Movable Ink’s suite of applications and tech integrations enables marketers to automatically pull live prices and availability for flights, hotel rooms, event tickets, and retail products into their emails so promotions are always accurate and consistent with their website or app no matter when a customer opens the email.

Although email dominates direct marketing channels in ROI, marketers are challenged to create personalized marketing at scale and accurately deliver ever-changing prices and inventory. Stale promotions lead to lost bookings, cart abandonment, high unsubscribe rates, and an influx of unhappy customers to manage across multiple customer service channels.

Movable Ink’s Real-Time Pricing Solution enables marketers to deliver accurate, real-time pricing and inventory that drives engagement and improves productivity. Ideal use cases include offers with constantly changing prices and availability such as airlines tickets, hotels rooms, sports and events tickets, and retail products. Movable Ink’s team of email experts can help teams of any size bring live, relevant, well-designed offers and prices into the email channel to improve engagement and revenue.

“Two of the biggest shifts in the past five years have been the rise of personalized, story-based marketing, and the investment of billions of dollars in dynamic pricing for OTA infrastructure in key verticals like travel and hospitality. With Movable Ink’s Real-Time Pricing Solution, marketers no longer need to chisel price and availability into stone at the moment of send but can provide the most up-to-date information at the crucial moment when the customer opens or reopens the email,” said Vivek Sharma, CEO of Movable Ink.

The Real-Time Pricing Solution is easy to implement and integrates quickly with a brand’s existing marketing and email stacks. It is completely ESP agnostic and able to leverage existing integrations with many leading third-party OTAs. Benefits include the ability to:

  • Pull up-to-the second pricing and inventory into an email with an API or JSON feed
  • Update prices and inventory in sync with a brand’s website or app every time the email is opened or reopened
  • Eliminate confusion, costly customer service inquiries, and opt-outs by ensuring that customers always see real-time, available offers
