Experian CheetahMail and Movable Ink give marketers unparalleled real-time control over campaign content

Experian Marketing Services' CheetahMail and Movable Ink partner to give marketers the power to refresh email content -- in real time -- once a campaign has gone live

NEW YORK, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian® CheetahMail®, the leading global technology services provider of integrated email, social, mobile and display marketing, today announced that clients now have the ability to display real-time, streaming content in emails through a preferred agreement with Movable Ink. Movable Ink applications enable marketers to deliver the most up-to-date, relevant and personalized email content available, driving strong engagement and increasing client conversion opportunities. Marketers gain unparalleled control over email content and have the power to refresh it, in real time, once a campaign has gone live.

Specifically, the real-time, streaming content applications allow marketers to:

    --  Modify campaign content even after emails have deployed. Items such as
        pricing, product/inventory availability and alternate product
        suggestions can be augmented once a campaign has launched.
    --  Conduct A/B testing and optimize quickly.
    --  Create a strong sense of urgency around a particular offer.
    --  Make campaigns more engaging and relevant by targeting real-time context
        such as time, location and device type.
"We believe email is one of the most powerful and engaging communication platforms to ever exist," said Vivek Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Movable Ink. "It has the ability to delight, compel and engage the more relevant the content is. As evidence, we've seen clients lift revenue conversions as high as 28 percent with the use of our real-time content applications. We are excited to work with Experian CheetahMail and empower their clients with these powerful new content capabilities."

CheetahMail clients now have access to a wide variety of real-time content applications to support various campaign goals and objectives. The applications available today include:

    --  Countdown Timer: Show days, hours, minutes and seconds using a countdown
        clock
    --  Feed: Easily pull real-time updates from RSS or data feeds
    --  Tweets: Add tweets to emails with a few clicks
    --  Creative Optimizer: Auto-optimize campaigns while they run
    --  Local Maps: Show local maps with points of interest based on where a
        recipient opens the email
    --  Web Crop: Crop live content from any Web page and add it to a campaign
    --  Device Targeter: Customize content to the device that the email is read
        on, including mobile, tablet and desktop
    --  Social Chatter: Stream the social media conversion around the brand into
        email
    --  Geo Targeter: Target content to a recipient's current location
