Carabunga.com's `e-ROAD' Maps
an Automotive Dealer's Marketing Route; e-ROAD Will Add Marketing Value
to a Dealer's Customer Database
SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2000--Carabunga.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newgen Results
Corporation (NASDAQ: NWGN), today announced the implementation of a new, sophisticated
data/marketing analysis process that will provide automotive dealers with a map of their customer
base. Dubbed `e-ROAD,' the tool will allow a dealer to access a database online to create one
seamless tool for identifying a customer or group of customers and build predictive models to improve
sales.
Carabunga.com is the only vortal (vertical portal to information and/or services related to a specific
industry) created to address the direct marketing needs of the automotive industry.
"With e-ROAD, dealers will have a window into their customer databases, 24 hours a day," said
Jim Roche, President of Carabunga.com. "They will also be able to use data mining techniques to
determine targeted lists of customers who are most suitable for a given promotion or other type of
communication."
Created in February 2000 as "the dealer's one-to-one marketing vortal," Carabunga.com will
enable automotive dealers to query customer data from the Web site. After selecting criteria for
generating a particular list of customers (for example, all 1996 Ford Taurus owners in a particular zip
code with 50,000 miles on their vehicles), the dealer will be able to use other features of
Carabunga.com to conduct a marketing campaign or promotion targeting that audience.
The dealer's database will then be put through a data purification process prior to its usage. "Data
will be cleansed to insure accuracy and deliverability," said Roche. "The records will also be compared
to information in the National Change of Address database. This process will save valuable marketing
dollars that might otherwise be wasted."
The integration of e-ROAD into Carabunga.com's array of services will support the company's goal
of offering unique, state-of-the-art Web-based marketing initiatives to the automotive industry.
"e-ROAD enables dealers to make the most of their marketing dollars by selecting the right customer,
at the right time, to target the right message with the right medium," Roche continued.
