Portsmouth, NH (EMWNews) August 16, 2008 — Mark Klein, CEO and founder of predictive analytics provider Loyalty Builders, will speak at Hubspot’s upcoming Inbound Marketing Summit, taking place September 8, 2008 at the Boston Marriot Cambridge in Cambridge, MA. During the presentation, entitled, “Managing the Bottom of the Funnel,” Klein will address the often neglected and under-invested area of customer retention, shedding light on how marketers can harness powerful Mathematical Marketing tools to increase revenues from existing customers.

Mathematical Marketing is the extended process of marketing to existing customers based on a scientific understanding of how their past behavior predicts their future purchases, using techniques such as predictive analytics, behavioral targeting and tracking, multivariate testing and what-if analysis. The session will focus on how these tools parallel the techniques many marketers now use in inbound marketing and web-based customer acquisition. Klein will also address an age-old question: Now that I’ve captured new customers, how can I retain them?

Citing best practices seen in the industry and using real world client examples, Klein will offer attendees practical insight into:

– How to predict the future behavior of existing customers and what data is needed

– How to set up an early warning system to prevent defection once customers are acquired

– How to improve an inbound marketing strategy using Mathematical Marketing techniques

“Marketing to existing customers presents a ripe opportunity that too many marketers overlook”, says Klein. “Innovation has lagged in this area, but with these new techniques and improved technology, marketers need to take advantage of these tools to keep their customers loyal and to remain competitive and profitable in today’s fast-paced marketplace. “

The Inbound Marketing Summit brings together experts in the field of inbound marketing to share the latest strategies, tools, and best practices to utilize inbound marketing methods to grow business.
