Certona, LENSER Announce Partnership

Strategic Consulting Firm for Multichannel, Catalog Merchants to Leverage Resonance(R) Platform for Clients Seeking to Improve Online Sales, Conversion Rates


SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - April 29, 2008) - Certona Corporation, a provider of automated optimization and personalization solutions for multichannel retailers, announced today a strategic partnership with LENSER.

The consulting firm for multichannel and catalog merchants will leverage Certona's Resonance® Web 2.0 personalization platform for clients seeking to improve online sales and conversion rates.

"Our mission is to assist companies of various sizes and scales to develop and execute successful, database-driven marketing programs that improve response rates and returns on investment," said John Lenser, President of LENSER. "This partnership empowers us to provide clients with a proven personalization and recommendation service that creates the most relevant online experience for visitors without sacrificing their privacy in the process."

LENSER is retained by more than 70 business-to-consumer as well as business-to-business catalog and multichannel merchants to deliver strategic consulting and outsourced management of both print circulation and e-commerce marketing programs. In addition to retained clients, LENSER frequently conducts "best practice reviews," assuring that clients are using cutting-edge techniques in all aspects of their direct marketing program. Certona's Resonance platform is a natural fit to its service portfolio. Resonance demystifies behavioral and personalization targeting through a self-optimizing Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that organizations can implement for their e-commerce sites to realize immediate improvements in conversions, average order values and revenues.

"Resonance is a hosted service, which means that the average client integration time is relatively quick -- usually about two weeks," said Meyar Sheik, CEO and co-founder of Certona Corporation. "This real-time profiling is also the most effective way to deliver pertinent content because consumers' present behavior on the site is the most accurate representation of their interests and affinities at that time, rather than the demographic information filled out through an online form months ago."
