WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - [ Unica Corporation ] (
Today's marketers face difficulty maintaining or increasing conversion rates in the face of growing competition for search terms and the attention of email readers. Marketers struggle to deliver timely and relevant marketing content, manage a growing number of online channels and affiliates, and cope with a flood of sometimes conflicting data and reports. Rather than helping marketers manage these challenges, disparate web analytics, email marketing, web personalization, and other tools often exacerbate them by making it difficult, expensive, and slow to share data and work across vendors. Marketers, often dealing with frequent change, are hamstrung by the need for constant support from IT, vendor services, or other technical resources.
"Our mission is to deliver the best eye care products quickly, conveniently, and at the lowest prices to anywhere in the world. And one priority is to engage with the 95% of site visitors who we can't reach via email," said Braden Hoeppner, director of Web Sales, Coastal Contacts. "It's more important than ever to effectively interact with visitors and provide them with relevant marketing messages. With Interactive Marketing OnDemand, we can use visitor behavior to better understand visitor product interests and immediately present appropriate web site offers. We're fulfilling our mission thanks to Unica Interactive Marketing OnDemand."
