[x+1] Personalizes Web Optimization with New, Patented Technology


Predictive Optimization Engine (POE(TM)) Enables Marketers to Anticipate Real-Time Needs of Online Consumers and Increase ROI on Marketing Spend

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 /-- [x+1] (www.xplusone.com), the leader in predictive marketing, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded the company a patent for its Predictive Optimization Engine (POE(TM)) -- a system that dynamically segments the user community through data capture and content presentation. POE operates over two platforms, site+1 and media+1, to provide marketers the ability to capture behavioral and geographical information from each Web visitor, and predict which offers or external advertisements will be most relevant to the individual.

In real-time, POE factors a Web visitor's location, age, sex, buying habits and Web site viewing history to calculate the optimal set of choices for that individual. It then instantly adjusts content to best reflect his or her preferences.

"Predictive marketing is the future of digital media as Internet users demand greater personalization for their Web experience while remaining anonymous," said Stephano Kim, president of [x+1]. "Online marketers must provide Internet users with a seamless experience without being intrusive. POE enables us to deliver this true end-to-end predictive marketing solution to help marketers lift conversions while providing customers with the best Web experience."

Other online tracking technologies narrowly focus on optimizing Web sites purely on behavior or search words. Instead of limiting market scope to one set of characteristics and tailoring products and promotions for an assumed audience, [x+1] leverages all available data to capture the complete picture of the individual consumer.

For clients, POE represents increased conversion rates, more user-friendly Web sites and improved direct marketing programs. "Verizon Scores With Web Interaction Optimization," a case study by Suresh Vittal of Forrester Research, Inc., catalogues the improvements Verizon experienced after implementing [x+1]'s predictive optimization solution:

"By implementing site+1 from vendor [x+1], Verizon dramatically improved its online conversion rate and reduced cost per acquisition...Optimization scenarios increased conversion by as much as 36%."(1)
