According to the NRF survey, the Internet will influence 33.6 percent of holiday purchases. The combination of the ChunkIt! features - “Chunk Google” and “Chunk Store” - enable online shoppers to streamline the product research process and assist them in finding the best products at the best prices. Shoppers can use ChunkIt! to dig deep into the dozens of links found on a store’s product listing page and extract the “chunks” of content that they are most interested in.
