Bristol (PRWEB) July 30, 2008 --Alterian (http://www.alterian.com/press_releases_1.aspx?id=0:33286&id=0:33281&id=0:33277) (LSE: ALN), the leading international integrated marketing platform (http://www.alterian.com/products/index.aspx) provider, today announced projects with BBVA, the second largest bank in Spain; El Corte Inglés, the largest Spanish retailer and Air Miles Spain. All deals have come via Alterian's partnership with Ibérica, the master reseller that Alterian has been working with since 2004.
BBVA has 42 million clients in 32 countries around the world, and uses Alterian's Data Discovery and Visualisation (DDV) and Analytical Reporting solutions in its Corporate Financial Management department to analyse the strategic customer data. By using these Alterian solutions, BBVA is able to ask both complex and impromptu questions from its data, and get answers back promptly and accurately.
El Corte Inglés is the largest retailer in Spain with more than 100 stores across the country. Alterian is used by its direct marketing department in order to target high-growth segments and manage campaigns, and has proved to be a real success with a recent DM campaign called 8 Días de Oro (8 Gold Days), which targeted consumers right across Spain.
The other recent customer win for Alterian is Air Miles Spain, which runs the largest loyalty programs in Spain. Air Miles manages a reward program called "Travel Club", which has more than 10 million cards. The Alterian solutions deployed are DDV and Campaign Manager, which allow the marketing team at Air Miles to define, execute and manage campaigns from their desktops, as well as seeing increased response rates through more accurately targeted Alterian technology offers.
"We have noticed a real trend towards integrated marketing software over the past 18 months, and that has been demonstrated further by our working with three such fantastic brands as BBVA, Air Miles Spain and El Corte Inglés," said Jacinto Barrio, Marketing Manager, Ibérica Alterian. "Spanish firms are starting to see the benefits that effective analytics can bring, as they seek to maximise the value their marketing spend delivers."

Since we began working with Ibérica we have delivered benefit to 40 clients in markets as diverse as banking, telecoms, travel and retail. New projects with industry leaders such as BBVA, Air Miles Spain and El Corte Inglés are a powerful endorsement of our technology and capability in this region," said Ben Jackson, Director, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Small Business Management: Making The Most Of Your Business

If company managers want to do more than keep the doors open, if they want to see growth and potentially franchise, they have to be even more careful to ensure that all aspects of the enterprise are very balanced and that the business is protected. There have been some seemingly very successful enterprises in the past that have failed because the owners and the management have failed to see some problems or risks that were putting the whole company on the line. With the proper information and education, anyone can protect their business now to ensure its growth and success in the future.
Ah The Joys Of Online Coupons...
I love online coupons and saving money off of them. If there is a bargain to be found, I am all over it. My husband calls me the coupon queen-kong. I get my coupon clipping tendencies from my mother, it's a genetic trait. My husband and my father on the other hand do not enjoy using them as much. If you handed them a discount coupon, they will be overly embarrassed to use it. Who cares if they can get a free meal or a huge discount, they suddenly lose the coupon before it needs to be presented. I personally present and take advantage of as many coupons as I can each and every opportunity I have.
