25 Oct, 2003 - NEW ‘POWER ALLIANCE’ FIRST TO OFFER ONE-STOP OPTION FOR GUEST RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (GRM) TOOLS
Two industry leaders set to co-exhibit at upcoming industry trade show

NEW ‘POWER ALLIANCE’ FIRST TO OFFER ONE-STOP OPTION
FOR GUEST RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (GRM) TOOLS
Two industry leaders set to co-exhibit at upcoming industry trade show 

Fort Lauderdale, FL -- October 25, 2004 – In the world of leisure, it’s not enough to simply build a great entertainment or amusement destination and hope that the visitors will come. Attracting customers, compelling them to spend and convincing them to come back next time requires concrete knowledge about who they are and a targeted message that says what they want to hear.

 “In today’s competitive, technology-driven market, the most profitable and long-lasting relationships are those built on a combination of hard data and targeted promotions,” explained Benjamin J. Keeley, founder, CEO and president of VNS International, a provider of software and other business solutions for tracking and managing guests and visitors in a variety of entertainment and leisure settings. “Now for the first time, the two crucial components of GRM -- data and marketing -- are being offered in one exciting package,” he added.

Keeley’s VNS, along with HyperGrafX, a marketing and design firm, will be jointly exhibiting in Booth 1582 at the upcoming IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions) 2004 Annual Convention and Tradeshow in Orlando. The two companies -- both leaders in their respective fields -- plan to co-offer comprehensive programs that combine hard numbers with the more subjective business of marketing and promotions.

“It’s not enough to collect and analyze the data -- no matter how accurate and comprehensive your numbers, they are of little value without the right marketing and promotional programs,” said Debbie A. Nierman, HyperGrafX’s founder and CEO. “If it’s not targeted and ‘right on,’ then it probably isn’t worth doing at all. That’s why this alliance is so crucial to anyone in this industry looking to increase the value and longevity of each and every customer,” Nierman added.

“In this market,” stressed Keeley, “it’s important to identify your guests and know how they are spending their time and revenue. Then, while you still have their attention, you can introduce and unveil appropriate and attractive ways for them to continue their patronage, all the while elevating your image and their loyalty to you. This one-two punch of numbers and advertising has never before been approached or offered in such a way,” he added.

Since 1999, South Florida-based VNS International has been a leader in developing enterprise software and business support solutions that efficiently, accurately and profitably track the value of guests in the recreation, hospitality, family entertainment and marine industries. By focusing on hard data rather than on vague observations, VNS has successfully deployed the most comprehensive Guest Relationship Management (GRM) system in the marketplace.

Through a one-of-a-kind strategic alliance, VNS and HyperGrafX, a marketing and design firm with offices in Fort Lauderdale and Boston, assist clients in evaluating, planning and executing marketing and promotional solutions based on the specific and comprehensive data captured at the point of service (POS) and at various stages throughout the entire guest lifecycle. The VNS/HyperGrafX alliance closes a previously long-standing gap in the GRM sector by offering a turnkey method through which the total value of each guest can be pinpointed, translated into customized campaigns and then increased.

Executive Bios

Benjamin J. Keeley, VNS International’s founder, CEO, and president, received B.S. and M.S. degrees in computer engineering from San Diego State University. Prior to founding VNS, Mr. Keeley was Manager of Data Operations at Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. and Global Director of the Enterprise Transformation Technology Solution Center at Deloitte Consulting. He has extensive experience in major ERP and data management software, including SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle and Baan.

Debbie A. Nierman, HyperGrafX’s founder and CEO, received a B.S. in marketing at the University of Massachusetts. Following in her family’s footsteps in the Advertising and Marketing world, Ms. Nierman launched her own agency in 1993 and has since dedicated her time and energy to delivering results-oriented, targeted marketing and promotional campaigns to her Fortune 500 clients.

Data Driven. Results Focused.
