DST Output Introduces Cross Media Intelligence(SM) Suite at Auto Finance Summit

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DST Output representatives will meet with auto finance executives at this week's Auto Finance Summit (autofinancesummit.com) to present its innovative Cross Media Intelligence(SM) suite to address the current and future customer communications needs of the auto finance industry.  

As part of these discussions, the company will highlight a new Marketing Portal capability. Marketing Portal offers online branded storefronts that enable auto finance companies to offer options and selections to create customized co-marketing material in partnership with their dealer communities. The Portal, which is in use with two top auto finance companies today, is part of DST Output's Cross Media Intelligence solution suite. For the many companies today who are struggling to deploy multi-channel marketing campaigns, Marketing Portal helps to create a true roundtrip experience for the consumer.  

"In today's competitive environment, auto finance companies need to distinguish themselves at the mailbox, the inbox, on their web portal, as well as at the dealership," says Dana Johnston, vice president of Business Development for DST Output. "Using a more intelligent statement management process boosts their ability to deliver more relevant offers that support local messaging efforts and global branding, while helping to reduce customer communications overhead and engaging dealers in the communications process."

Additional features include the ability to gain marketing intelligence about consumers to refine subsequent communications efforts. Applying the latest direct marketing techniques to auto finance loan and lease statements can create smart, hard-working documents that address business goals such as retention, cross-sell, and satisfaction.

Booth visitors will also have the ability to discuss electronic document delivery strategies, Digital Press Technology, and Digital Postal Mail(SM).
