Anyone know of any good Lingerie Companies with accurate Data Feed?

**tbp** · 24-02-07

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to Lingerie companies, who offer a good quality, accurate, data feed?

I`m after sexy lingerie, the type you'd buy your partner as a gift, rather than ordinary day to day lingerie.

I had to drop the merchant I was using, and am looking for a replacement now, but having no joy. I`ve tried a number of different merchants tonight, across a range of networks, and found problems with a number of different ones, with the data they provide. Seem fine on the surface, but checking the feeds reveal bad data.

For example, the last one I looked at tonight looks great, and I thought I`d finally got a good one. However, while I was writing the code to import the feed, I checked a couple of urls, and found that instead of linking to the product, they just redirected to the homepage, as the product didn't exist. I then wrote some code to check the status of each page, and it turns out that out of 520 products in the feed, only 250 of them actually exist!

The rest all redirect to the homepage. This seems a fairly typical sitation unfortunately.

Because I use products directly on my site, and deep link to the proper page on the merchant site, I don't want to fill my site with products that look good, but actually don't exist, as its going to spoil the reputation of my site.

Is there any one using Lingerie Companies and working with their datafeeds, so they know they're accurate and would be kind enough to recommend them to me? If you could let me know the merchant name and network, it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated!

I`ll take a look, and see what I can use.

And if any lingerie companies are reading this - please check your feeds! Don't want to name names on here, but quite a few companies have problems.

Standard problems seem to be:

1) Old products that no longer exist included in feeds
2) Incorrect information, or information in the wrong fields
3) Prices rounded up to the nearest pound, so don't match site prices

Hi there

Hopefully you are not experiencing problems with us (figleaves.com), but if you are, be sure to drop me a line at simon (dot) goldsmith (at) figleaves (dot) com, and I can look into them for you. Or, give our feeds a try if you have not already, again happy to help in anyway.

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for getting in touch. I haven't tried Figleaves yet, but I had a look at the site after the recommendation here, and I would like to use you.

I`ve joined through TradeDoubler this afternoon, but I need to be approved before I can start.

Thanks

You might also want to check out the following merchants on Webgains:

Brastop
uplifetedlingerie
Samantha Lingerie

If you have any problems with the feeds for these programs just let me know.

Thanks Kier,

I did actually have a problem with one of the companies you mentioned. Don't want to mention the name here, but I put in a support ticket with the details.

Sorry to hear that, we'll ensure your problem is rectified ASAP.

Lingerie companies seem to be bad for this.

Tried putting together a lingerie site a while back but found it hard to get any good feeds. One I won't mention has an interesting range but too many links that turn up at pages that don't exist any more. Likewise, the creative is way out of date - still got Valentines stuff up... and a banner for something they no longer wish to be associated with. You know who you are.

All the others are way out of date.... products that don't exist or wrong prices.

Figleafs does look good but have never had much joy with TD feeds.

I agree totally Nosmo

Haven't had this with other sectors, although im sure there are other areas with problems, but lingerie does seem to attact them. Mind you my mind does tend to wander too, when Im going through checking the links

Im looking at Figleaf now, and everything looks good, so Im going to work with them.

Hi

If you are still looking I run Uplifted Lingerie www.upliftedlingerie.co.uk through Affiliate Window and Webgains and would love to work with you.

If you have any problems with any part of the feed let me know and I will get it rectified immediately. We talk with our account managers at each company on a daily basis to make sure the campaign is working as it should, so hopefully you should not encounter any problems.

Thanks
