Box.net Lands Squarely on StrongMail

Box.net improves brand and customer experience with StrongMail’s email marketing solutions

Redwood City, Calif., December 10, 2008 – StrongMail Systems, Inc., the leading provider of commercial-grade solutions for marketing and transactional email, today announced that Box.net (www.box.net), the leading provider of tools for managing and sharing data online, has implemented StrongMail to deliver its email communications. Now, Box.net can leverage the strengths of StrongMail’s solutions to test and optimize messages for maximum conversion, deliver email campaigns promptly, share personalized offers, and target specific user groups to build the Box.net brand.

Box.net offers tools that improve the way people and teams share and interact with their content. Users can access, share and collaborate on files of any type from anywhere. With more than 2 million users, 1 million files shared daily and thousands of developers in the “Box Enabled Network,” the company relies on marketing and transactional email to provide its growing user base of individuals, small businesses and Fortune 1000 companies with targeted, timely information to help enhance their use of Box.net products and services.

Before working with StrongMail, Box.net managed its email campaigns through a custom-built solution. The process for developing and scheduling email distribution was time-consuming, the reporting capabilities were inadequate, and the manual process created a burden for their IT department.

“When we began evaluating solutions that would improve our email capabilities, we wanted a product that would not just expedite the process, but would also give our marketing department greater control over our campaigns,” said Sebastien LeMenager, sales and billing Manager from Box.net. “We found StrongMail to be the best solution for our needs. Now, when we have a campaign, it’s a sprint, not a marathon – we get it done in a few hours.

“Businesses like Box.net that continually make enhancements to their products and services, must keep the lines of communication open with their users,” said Bill Wagner, executive vice president of business operations at StrongMail Systems. “With StrongMail, Box.net is able to consistently provide its users with valuable, targeted information that keeps them engaged and loyal.”
