PUMA and GUESS? are Among the Newest Online Retailers to Choose Netflame
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Fireclick, a provider of
comprehensive easy-to-use Web analytics solutions, today announced that it
recorded its sixth consecutive quarter of record-breaking revenue. Fireclick
closed the first quarter of 2003 with a 250% increase in sales, including new
marquee accounts such as PUMA AG, GUESS? and others.
Fireclick also announced today, in a separate press release, that it has
expanded its North American presence with the addition of a Canadian sales
office based in Ottawa, Ontario.
"2003 has started off as a very strong year for Fireclick as we have just
closed our most impressive quarter yet, and announced our sales force
expansion into Canadian markets," stated Ram Srinivasan, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Fireclick. "Our solid growth rate clearly communicates
that Fireclick fills a niche for technically innovative, easy-to-use, Web
analytics services."
Fireclick's newest Netflame service, Netflame Enterprise, has resonated
well with the needs of large multi-channel businesses and has contributed to
much of the sales success experienced in the first quarter. New customers
include hot fashion brands and retailers PUMA AG, Compact Appliance, Rooms-to-
Go, BabyAge, GUESS? and many others.
"PUMA needed a better Web analytics solution for its online properties and
after reviewing several solutions, Fireclick's Netflame Enterprise was by far
the most comprehensive and usable," stated Peter Kim, International Marketing
Manager of Interactive Business at PUMA AG. "We were thoroughly impressed
with Netflame's powerful reporting capabilities which lead to actionable
business insights every day, as well as the ease of implementation and
responsiveness of the Fireclick organization."
