VerticalResponse Teams With Yaga For Email Marketing

Digital Content Owners Get Powerful Email Marketing Tools to Increase Online Sales

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Mar. 13, 2002 - VerticalResponse, Inc., a developer and provider of self-service email marketing products, and Yaga, Inc., today announced an agreement that will make it easier for digital content owners to make money online. Under the agreement, merchants in Yaga's digital goods marketplace will have access to powerful permission-based email marketing tools from VerticalResponse. Visitors to Yaga's marketplace will also be able to sign up to receive additional information from their favorite digital content producers.

"In one day, Yaga has increased their marketing team by thousands by placing our product into the hands of their merchants," said Janine Popick, CEO and Co-Founder of VerticalResponse. "Yaga has given their merchants powerful marketing tools that will increase customer retention, lower customer acquisition costs and increase overall sales for each merchant. "

Yaga began testing the new service last week with select merchants. In a matter of days, a large number of merchants were collecting sign ups from thousands of site visitors by placing permission-based email list building forms directly into their product listings on Yaga's site.

"Response from site shoppers and merchants has been outstanding. Several merchants have already launched money making campaigns," said Chris Kitze, CEO of Yaga, provider of the first complete digital goods distribution, transaction and subscription network. "Merchants now have all the tools they need to make money from their digital content while building and growing a loyal customer base."

Yaga's merchants will be able to create email campaigns in minutes with the new service powered by iBuilder from VerticalResponse. Through their existing accounts, merchants will be able to sign up for service, build and manage customer lists, create HTML emails and see the results of their campaigns. Merchants will also receive free sign-up and technical support from VerticalResponse.
