StrongView Enables Australasia’s Largest Travel Company to Improve Relevancy, Performance and Deliverability of Its Marketing and Transactional Email
REDWOOD CITY, CA–(Marketwire – April 12, 2010) –  StrongView Systems, Inc., a leading provider of online marketing solutions for email and social media, today announced that Flight Centre Limited, Australasia’s best-known travel agency group, selected and implemented StrongMail marketing and transactional email solutions, resulting in significantly improved performance of its campaigns.

Working with StrongMail regional partner XCOM Media, Flight Centre Ltd. switched to StrongView from an email service provider (ESP). Australasia’s largest retailer of travel products and services, Flight Centre Limited operates more than 2,000 shops and businesses in 11 countries. Flight Centre relies on email to keep its customers informed of localized products and services based on their travel preferences; however, its previous solution wasn’t able to scale with its growth or provide the level of data integration and visibility it needed to optimize its email marketing campaigns.

By migrating to StrongView, Flight Centre has lowered its email marketing costs while significantly boosting its campaign results. Not only has Flight Centre improved the relevancy of its offers by leveraging StrongView’s advanced data integration and dynamic content capabilities, it has increased inbox delivery with StrongView’s advanced sending technology and smart bounce management. StrongView’s intuitive web-based interface also makes it easy for Flight Centre to send targeted communications and then view the results in real-time to optimize the results.

“Succeeding in the ultra-competitive travel industry comes down to how you serve your customers, and StrongView has enabled us to improve the customer experience with timely emails that deliver highly relevant and targeted messages,” said Sally Chapman, direct marketing manager at Flight Centre Limited. “With StrongView, we have overcome the limitations of our previous outsourced solution across all the key metrics: cost, campaign performance and reliability.”

“Flight Centre Limited’s success in increasing the performance of its email marketing campaigns is a great example of the benefits of investing in the right technology and strategy,” said Bill Wagner, executive vice president of business operations at StrongView. “StrongView’s dedicated email solutions provide companies like Flight Centre Ltd. with unparalleled connectivity to customer data, which is the cornerstone of effective one-to-one communications.”
