Ebike categorization
SmartEtailing's Content Team recently finished a collaborative project with the Marketing and Client Success teams to more effectively categorize your ebikes. The ebike products in SmartEtailing's catalog occupy a new dedicated branch in the Cycling catalog that sits on the same level as Bikes. This makes ebike products easily findable in the megamenu as a distinct category of product. Ebikes also retain their existing cross-categorizations with non-ebike.
The structure for the Electric branch is as follows:
Along with the new Electric category, you will notice the original electric sub-category still appears in your catalog. Before we remove the original, please take a moment to update any links on your homepage or internal pages to the old sub-category.

NEW ADA-compliant geometry chart and sizing chart tool
In our continued dedication to ADA compliance, SmartEtailing's Content Team developed a new tool to create ADA-compliant geometry and sizing charts for catalog items. The geometry and sizing features created by this tool are machine readable and meet the requirements of ADA legislation, as well as being significantly more attractive and readable than previous geometry charts.
You can see the old and new versions of the geometry and sizing charts by visiting this preview page and clicking on the features in the right hand column.
Ecommerce catalog data analysis & business intelligence
SmartEtailing's Content Team is using a suite of business intelligence tools to drive decisions surrounding the prioritization of catalog projects and how best to support essential brands and categories. This data is derived from consumer behavior across SmartEtailing sites and identifies the most commonly viewed and shopped for products in the Cycling and Snow Sports catalogs. This is an evolutionary step for the Content Team, allowing them to understand consumer needs and react accordingly as they create SmartEtailing's catalog content.
