Loyalty Builders CEO Mark Klein to Present Virtual Seminar on Mathematical Marketing for the Direct Marketing Association

Portsmouth, NH (Vocus) July 21, 2008 -- Mark Klein (http://www.longbowdirectmarketing.com/company/our-team), CEO and founder of predictive analtyics provider Loyalty Builders (http://www.longbowdirectmarketing.com/company) will host a Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Virtual Seminar entitled "The New Rules of Mathematical Marketing" on August 19, 2008 from 1-2 p.m. EST. During the seminar, Klein will discuss the new techniques and processes of Mathematical Marketing and give examples of how businesses of all sizes have utilized Mathematical Marketing to improve direct marketing campaigns.

Mathematical Marketing (http://www.longbowdirectmarketing.com/resources/help-center/mathematical-marketing) is the extended process of marketing to existing customers based on a scientific understanding of how their past behavior predicts their future purchases, using techniques such as predictive analytics, behavioral targeting and tracking, multivariate testing and what-if analysis. Using these tools, marketers are able to determine when a customer is likely to buy, what they are likely to buy and who is at risk of defection.

In this interactive, hour long presentation, Klein will offer participants insight into:

* How new scientific techniques, improved analytics and advances in mathematical tools have made it

possible to target customers with much greater precision than before

* How to apply Mathematical Marketing techniques to their own direct marketing campaigns

* How to use factorial design testing (multivariate testing) to consistently improve campaign revenue and response rates

"Marketers are too focused on customer acquisition," says Klein. "With Mathematical Marketing techniques and a focus on existing customers, marketers can more easily gain competitive advantage and improve the bottom line."
