I have no idea of what Buystream can do - to be honest I've never heard of

it but that is not the point.


A designer can be the DB's creatively but if they don't know which groups

visit a site, why they visit, what they purchase, how they came to the site,

which promotional offers they respond to or ignored, etc, etc, etc, the

designer will be as much use as a sailor who can't navigate i.e. you know

your destination, you have a vague idea of your current position and you

need clear skys because using the sun is your only prayer. Whereas a

navigator who can't hoist a sail...


In other words design without data is about as useful as data without design


Finally have a look at www.landmarctechnologies.com they have effective and

inexpensive CRM, data gathering and email marketing solutions which our

clients are happy with.
