Newegg Activates Its Brand Advocate Community With Needle

SILICON SLOPES, UT--(Marketwired - Dec 17, 2015) - Needle, the leader in advocate-powered e-commerce, today announced Newegg has selected the Needle Marketing Platform to tap into its enormous advocate community and deploy shopper-to-shopper conversations on its website.

Since 2001, Newegg has become the leading electronics-focused e-retailer in the United States. Needle draws from Newegg's most passionate, loyal consumers and matches them in real-time with shoppers who need help. Needle first focused on gaming computers, providing Newegg shoppers the ability to consult live with gamers who own and use various gaming PC setups. In the coming weeks, Newegg will add additional categories where advocates can interact with online shoppers. 

"The idea of using chat windows to engage customers is nothing new, but our customers can engage directly with technology enthusiasts who have first-hand experience with and passion for the products they recommend," said James Wu, COO of Newegg. "The advocates make it easier for people to buy with confidence, knowing the products they purchase will suit their needs."

Newegg customers have reported an average increase in Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 12.7% and a 6% increase in an already impressive Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Based on these strong results, Newegg plans to deploy Needle's software in new categories next year.

"We've wanted to work with Newegg for a long time due to their well-respected brand and product selection," said Morgan Lynch, CEO, Needle. "It's rewarding to everyone involved to see their biggest fans produce impressive results and interact with customers in real-time. This is only the beginning, and we're excited to expand this relationship in the coming months."
