2 "With Neolane, we gained 360-degree customer insight and have deployed a full fledged relationship-marketing strategy across traditional and mobile channels. This is key for the growth of our business in the digital age." - EMI Music Neolane helps companies unify all the aspects of new-generation marketing - enabling them to integrate emerging technologies with traditional channels to create an optimal customer experience, improve marketing effectiveness and drive more revenue. A recent Neolane survey found that 84 percent of respondents currently use to reach customers and prospects. Four out of five of those marketers plan to incorporate at least one additional emerging channel by the end of 2008 most likely, SMS ( Short Message Service or text messaging) or MMS ( Multimedia Message Service ). But fewer than half were confident that their existing tools could effectively manage emerging marketing channels, or coordinate campaigns across emerging and traditional channels. Research studies have shown that consumers who interact with companies through multiple channels spend more and are more profitable than single-channel customers. Neolane client AXA Bank proved this theory correct by combining personalized marketing with its traditional direct mail and telephone channels and doubling conversion rates.
