CopierSupplyStore.com has been online since 2007, and, according to Vice President of Marketing Bruce Cooperman, they have experienced "tremendous growth" every year. It's no wonder; the Copier Supply Store fills a very clear need for B2B shoppers to connect with a drop shipper. As well as selling nearly every model copier and printer consumable on the market, they sell maintenance kits and hard-to-find replacement parts. To help clients find these products, Cooperman manages an extensive set of search marketing campaigns. And to help manage his pay-per-click, he uses The Clickable Pro Tool. With over a hundred thousand keywords to manage, Cooperman needed a tool that would help him immediately identify cost and revenue drivers. Within seconds of signing into The Pro Tool, Cooperman would receive ActEngineâ„¢ recommendations indicating his top risks and opportunities. He then uses Clickable's Keyword Bulk Edit Tool to instantly manage his keywords in bulk. Most importantly, he's done so while maintaining conversion rates as high as 50 percent.

The Center for Public Leadership (CPL) at Harvard Kennedy School is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of knowledge about leadership and to broadening and deepening the pool of men and women who will become leaders for the common good. CPL was founded nearly 10 years ago, and, over the past two years, has digitized its vast library of materials and products accrued over the past decade, including over 100 videos. The challenge today is to make that library available to as wide an audience as possible. "Our current audience consists mostly of folks who know us because they're either students, faculty, or other members of academia," said Patrick McKiernan, CPL's Communications Coordinator. "What we're trying to build is an audience outside of our already strong academic and local niche." To help reach that goal, CPL applied for, and was awarded a Google Grant, which provides free advertising through Google AdWords. To help get the most out of that account, CPL has turned to Clickable Solutions.
