Vtrenz Releases New Version of On-Demand Marketing Automation Platform; New Campaign Manager, Enhanced List Manager and Multi-Track Campaign Automation Improves Online and Offline Marketing Effectiveness.

FARGO, N.D. -- Vtrenz, Inc., today, announced innovative product enhancements for its industry-leading marketing automation platform. Vtrenz(TM) iMarketing Automation(TM) equips marketers with the tools they need to plan, build, manage, execute and measure both online and offline marketing activities resulting in more closed sales by helping companies generate, qualify and nurture leads as well as retain and win-back customers.

Adding behavior-based segmentation capabilities, a new integrated campaign management tool, and multi-track rules-based campaign automation, iMarketing Automation now automates highly sophisticated marketing campaigns triggered at the time most appropriate for the contact instead of the time most convenient for the sender. Built for non-IT users; marketers, sales representatives, or other business professionals can easily set up their campaigns once and let the powerful rules-engine manage the delivery of timely, targeted communications.

"The new features and enhancements within this release dramatically increase the effectiveness of both marketing and sales by closing the gaps within the prospect and customer lifecycle. New leads generated can be scored based on qualification criteria, nurtured with timely communications including messaging specific to their interests and pain points, and dynamically routed at the right time to the sales person or call center based on predefined criteria," said William Schnabel, President and COO of Vtrenz. "And because iMarketing Automation is integrated across multiple channels, built on a centralized marketing database, and provides the reporting needed to evaluate marketing performance, businesses gain the intelligence and customer insight necessary to better compete in their market space."
