BlueHornet Introduces Unique Coupon Distribution Solution for E-Commerce

BlueHornet Networks, Inc., the email solution from Digital River (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), announced the introduction of its Unique Coupon Distribution solution. The new solution enables marketers to rapidly deploy and easily distribute unique coupon codes directly within emails that can be used to reach customers and prospects throughout the customer lifecycle.

"Generic coupon codes can go viral and spread beyond our customer base very quickly," said Marilyn Okano, senior digital marketing manager, Pacific Sunwear, Inc. "That's an issue for us because PacSun coupons are intended for use by our loyal customers. BlueHornet's Unique Coupon Distribution solution has helped us ensure that our offers can only be used by the PacSun subscribers who receive the code from us."

The Unique Coupon Distribution solution offers several benefits to companies who generate revenue from online sales, including the ability to:

• Easily auto-insert coupon codes into welcome, promotional and triggered messages in order to extend the customer lifecycle and increase lifetime value;
• Manage multiple offers to multiple audiences and to single subscribers;
• Receive coupon replenishment alerts and monitor code availability levels;
• Conduct A/B testing and segmentation for more targeted offers; and
• Track promotion performance over time and understand revenue gain from purchases made with or without a coupon.

"Our research clearly indicates that discounts are the primary reason consumers sign up for email programs," said Gerry Widmer, general manager of BlueHornet. "However, because the distribution of unique coupon codes is time consuming and difficult to manage, most marketers avoid it altogether - despite the value the data can provide for program optimization nd the opportunity to drive online redemption rates. We developed the Unique Coupon Distribution solution to provide easy ways to manage and distribute unique codes as well as increase online offer redemption."
