Leading Gift Basket Retailer to Use Omniture to Optimize Customers’ Experience on HickoryFarms.com

OREM, Utah – July 3, 2007 — Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced that Hickory Farms®, the award-winning food gift retailer, has selected Omniture to measure customer response to online marketing campaigns and to optimize the company’s search marketing activities. Using Omniture solutions, Hickory Farms will have real-time insight into what drives consumers to their Web site, what marketing channels influence visitor purchases and what areas of their site can be leveraged to maximize revenue.

“Hickory Farms has been around for 56 years and one of the main reasons our company has been so successful for so long is our focus on understanding our customers’ needs,” said Amber Yeray, manager of online stores at Hickory Farms. “We have been using Web analytics for years, but Omniture gives us unprecedented usability and faster reporting. We now have all the information we need to continue to cater to our customers’ preferences and optimize our online effectiveness.”

Using Omniture SiteCatalyst® Web analytics, Hickory Farms will be able to understand the performance of their products and see how customers interact with the site. Yeray will be able to determine, for example, the top ten products in terms of sales, as well as the top ten search terms that drive purchases, then combine the information to develop highly targeted campaigns and product promotions. Using SiteCatalyst, Yeray will also be able to understand the channel through which people are entering the site to make purchases—whether it be through their catalogs, natural search, or paid search, for example.

Hickory Farms will also use Omniture SearchCenter™ to manage their keyword bidding activities. With SearchCenter, the company will be able to see instantly which keywords drive the most purchases and set threshold levels on keyword bids—automatically optimizing bid strategies and cost without having to go to each search partner and adjust bids manually.

“Hickory Farms has a long standing tradition of customer satisfaction and personalized service,” said Gail Ennis, senior vice president of marketing at Omniture. “It is great to help them extend this experience to their online customers.”

About Hickory Farms
Richard Ransom founded Hickory Farms® 56 years ago in rural Ohio. It could be said that the first Hickory Farms stores were the first ‘delis’ for many Americans as most grocery stores at that time simply did not carry a wide array of premium cheeses and specialty meats. People fell in love with the friendly stores where they could sample a variety of specialty cheeses, meats, mustards, crackers and candies before making their purchase decisions. A key part of the Hickory Farms success story has been the company’s commitment to their customers, sampling and personalized service. Hickory Farms award-winning products are found in leading supermarkets, online and also in retail shopping centers during the holiday season.
