BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Zoot Enterprises, a leading provider of advanced instant credit decisioning and loan origination solutions, announced Version 6.0 of its WebRules(TM) Business Rules Developer. Zoot's WebRules tool is an object-oriented graphical interface for the development and on-going management of custom business rules and logic. Version 6.0 provides new functionality and interface enhancements for all previous versions of WebRules, and provides financial institutions with a higher level of control in developing their own business logic without programmer assistance.

"WebRules 6.0 gives Zoot's clients more direct control over their applications," said Tom Johnson, vice president of New Product Development at Zoot Enterprises. "In most business rules applications, attributes are predefined by the software developer and are unable to be edited. This latest version provides financial institutions with the capacity to edit their attributes directly, and refine the variables with which credit is assigned without the need for custom code or weeks to reconfigure the business rules. Version 6.0 enables institutions to manage applications in real-time."

The Attribute Editor feature enables the user to directly create and manage attributes (e.g., the number of accounts 30 days past due or the total amount of credit extended to someone) that create the base level of their decisioning logic. This allows institutions to make refinements to their business rules that have the potential to considerably impact their bottom line.

Other new features include the integration of Zoot Credit Characteristics(TM) Library (ZCC - Zero Core Contribution

ZCC - Zone Compliance Coordinator (State Farm Insurance)

ZCC - zone of calcified cartilage)(TM), shared libraries and SPOC - Saturn Performance Owners Club

SPOC - Science Planning and Operations Center

SPOC - Search and Rescue Point of Contact

SPOC - Shuttle Payload of Opportunity Carrier (NASA)

SPOC - Single Person of Contact

SPOC - Single Point Of Contact

SPOC - Single Point Orbit Calculator

SPOC - Space Operations Center

SPOC - Special Access Required (SAR) Programs Oversight Committee (USAF)

SPOC - Steaming Pile of Crap 3 compatibility enhancements. ZCC's are Zoot's pre-defined library of credit characteristics or attributes that allow customers to deploy changes quickly, without having to custom program their own set of attributes. Integration with WebRules means business analysts can start with a standard library, then customize the attributes to improve their organization's credit quality. The shared libraries application, a common database for enterprise users, allows different lines of business within an organization to share business rules. Consequently, the organization can facilitate a common credit risk policy throughout the enterprise, as well as simplify deployment of cross-sell opportunities. Finally, Version 6.0 also enhances support for SPOC 3 (Zoot's venerable decision engine), such as virtually unlimited credit application fields, providing a high level of flexibility.

Each marketing strategy has its own pros and cons, and any company is going to need to decide which strategy will work best for them. This article will go over the details of a direct mail marketing technique using postcards as the primary form of marketing and explain some of the benefits and drawbacks to this kind of approach.

Ok, the first benefits of postcard marketing is that unlike many other forms of mail marketing a postcard is the most visual and therefore the most likely to be seen by the person going through their pile of mail.

An envelope with the words urgent or open immediately aren't things I really put much stock to anymore simply because I see it all the time and I know it really isn't urgent anymore. With postcards there is no envelope and so people see only the picture you want them to or the advertisement you're offering. If you're offering a special deal or upcoming sale those will be the words they see in big print across the top of the postcard, and you have a much better chance of getting them to read the rest.

Another benefit is that with postcard marketing you can focus your advertising by only sending postcards to people who are likely to have interest in buying your products. Set up a good mailing list that covers all of the clients who have a history of making purchases in your industry or who you have good leads on.

The fact that you're sending these postcards directly into a person's home also increases the odds of it being seen unlike a lot of other forms of advertising. You know that a person is going to pick it up and give it at least a small glance, while you could put up all the posters you want and never be sure anyone will even look at it.

Also, you can track the success rate of postcard marketing better than most other forms. Because you know how many people were sent postcards you can match that up with the number of sales you achieve from your marketing venture. Few forms of marketing can give you such information.

Lastly, postcards are cheap, just like sending postcards through the mail is cheaper than envelopes. That means you can develop a strong marketing strategy for a lot less money than other forms.

Some of the drawbacks deal with the time investment. You'll need to do a lot more research and take more time setting things up with a postcard strategy that you wouldn't have to do with other forms. Getting the mailing list together along with the initial research to find out who needs to go on it can take up a lot of time if you're doing things for the first time.

Of course, once that list is made you'll have it for future endeavours. For those using postcards for the first time you need to be prepared for a bigger investment of time and research than most forms of marketing, but then, the benefits are more than worth the small drawbacks.
