Lautier says that Yahoo! Merchant Solutions' tracking ability is one of the features that sets it apart from the competition.

"If something is selling out relative to comparable items, we know it's time to raise the price; if something is under-performing relative to comparable items, we know it's time to lower it.

"The ability to offer coupon codes and gift certificates has also been invaluable to us," said Lautier.
