PALO ALTO, Calif. (March 26, 2001) - Leading the small business
applications industry for more than 13 years, Elibrium, the small
business software and services division of ClickAction Inc.
(Nasdaq: CLAC), has launched Business Emailer. Business Emailer
is a powerful new tool designed for small businesses to easily create
and send permission-based email campaigns to customers and prospects.
Elibrium's Business Emailer powered by Constant Contact® will
seamlessly integrate the power of email marketing into a retail
product, allowing small businesses to extend their reach to more
customers, serving them faster and more efficiently. Business Emailer
allows small businesses to develop a registration page that actively
requests that visitors join their mailing list to receive information
only on the topics they request, therefore expanding and profiling
the customer list of a small business. The product also allows small
businesses to import and export addresses, create new mailings based
on demographics and view result reports on the success of each email
campaign.
Business Emailer offers a wide variety of templates that a small
business can choose from, including newsletters, promotions, company
updates and service announcements. Business Emailer will automatically
create and deliver email in the format chosen and will measure and
track the number of responses generated from each email campaign.
"Office Depot has added similar products like Constant Contact
from the Elibrium line," said Bryan O'Connell, divisional merchandising
manager, Office Depot, "We feel these products are great opportunities
for small businesses to utilize the Internet to run their businesses
more effectively."
"Elibrium has proven that we understand the needs of small
business professionals to grow their business under budget and time
constraints," said Christina Willett, senior vice president
and general manager of the Elibrium division of ClickAction. "Business
Emailer combines ClickAction's core competency in providing enterprise
level email marketing technology with our expertise in offering
easy-to-use, inexpensive solutions designed specifically with small
businesses in mind."
Elibrium partnered with leading ASP provider, Roving Software to
co-market and distribute Business Emailer powered by Roving's Constant
Contact. This partnership provides complementary email marketing
solutions to serve the small business customer.
For businesses looking for an email marketing product that tailors
to smaller companies, ClickAction's small business tool, Elibrium's
Business Emailer, will be available through the traditional retail
channel on April 16 or by clicking on http://elibrium.roving.com.
