Cake Marketing Provides Tracking Infrastructure to Expand LegalZoom’s Performance-Based Marketing Initiatives

NEWPORT BEACH, CA–(Marketwire – Jun 25, 2012) – Cake Marketing, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) division of Accelerize New Media, Inc. (OTCBB:ACLZ), has teamed up with LegalZoom, the leading online legal brand for small businesses and consumers in the U.S., to provide CAKE Marketing’s advanced and reliable tracking and analytics platform to help power the LegalZoom Affiliate Program. After testing competing tracking platforms, LegalZoom selected CAKE Marketing to enhance their performance-based marketing initiatives and expand their online customer base. CAKE Marketing’s industry-recognized tracking technology with precise analytics and timesaving features provides the infrastructure for LegalZoom to market their online legal documents and legal plans within the fastest growing online sector, performance-based marketing. With the ability to pay just for results and conversions on a cost-per-action basis, CAKE Marketing’s tracking platform offers LegalZoom a no-risk opportunity by opening up new market potential for LegalZoom to increase their customer base and more efficiently reach the large sector of Americans in need of common legal documents.

According to Forrester Research, by 2013, it is expected that a full 66% of all advertising budgets will be spent on performance-based advertising compared to just 32% impression-based, and 2% sponsorship. With this continued spending growth in the performance-based marketing sector, the opportunity for CAKE Marketing to gain significant market share has enabled the company to work closely with brand name advertisers such as LegalZoom.

The strategic decision by LegalZoom to work with CAKE Marketing was founded upon the CAKE Marketing platform’s ability to offer a scalable and customizable solution to LegalZoom’s diverse and company-specific online marketing directives. “Providing mission-critical software for LegalZoom to further develop their business model will enable them the opportunity to act as industry leaders within the performance-based marketing space, and will allow CAKE Marketing the opportunity to actively pursue more opportunities with large brands and advertisers,” said Jeff McCollum, President of CAKE Marketing.

As a leading brand within the online legal document space, LegalZoom is equipped with the fundamental tools from the CAKE Marketing platform to garner more traffic for their website and actively pursue the performance-based marketing niche. CAKE Marketing’s robust and precise analytical technology, which can track multiple conversions from a single unique click, has enabled LegalZoom the opportunity to successfully manage their traffic sources by increasing visibility from click sources and allowing for more control over their traffic.

“Understandably making a wholesale change to a tracking program is never easy; however, CAKE Marketing’s team of experts and industry veterans really made the transition as easy and seamless as one could hope,” said Matt Withers, Director of Affiliate Marketing for LegalZoom. “The ability to attribute our large suite of services to a single unique click is a real game changer for us, as this level of accuracy provides us with the opportunity to analyze our traffic and determine the return on investment, and from there ramp up traffic where we see fit, and monetize.”

The CAKE Marketing platform was developed to help users proficiently manage their business; in addition, the software can be leveraged to fit a user’s unique needs, thus making it truly customizable. It is available to online marketers through a monthly license and usage fee with free 24/7 phone support.
