enthusiast target audience," said Jason Davis, motorcycle marketing and
product management, Kawasaki Motor Corp., U.S.A.  "With these rich media email
campaigns, we were able to combine exciting video footage with detailed
information about our promotions into an interactive medium that not only
communicates our message more effectively, but also allows us to quickly and
easily measure our results.  We've enjoyed greater success than anticipated
and plan to expand our use of MindArrow Messages in the near future."
