ELIBRIUM DIVISION OF CLICKACTION LAUNCHES EMAIL MARKETING MANAGER FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Elibrium's Business Emailer Enables Small Businesses to Leverage Online Email Campaigns

PALO ALTO, Calif. (March 26, 2001) - Leading the small business applications industry for more than 13 years, Elibrium, the small business software and services division of ClickAction™ Inc. (Nasdaq: CLAC), has launched Business Emailer. Business Emailer is a powerful new tool designed for small businesses to easily create and send permission-based email campaigns to customers and prospects.

Elibrium's Business Emailer powered by Constant Contact® will seamlessly integrate the power of email marketing into a retail product, allowing small businesses to extend their reach to more customers, serving them faster and more efficiently. Business Emailer allows small businesses to develop a registration page that actively requests that visitors join their mailing list to receive information only on the topics they request, therefore expanding and profiling the customer list of a small business. The product also allows small businesses to import and export addresses, create new mailings based on demographics and view result reports on the success of each email campaign.

Business Emailer offers a wide variety of templates that a small business can choose from, including newsletters, promotions, company updates and service announcements. Business Emailer will automatically create and deliver email in the format chosen and will measure and track the number of responses generated from each email campaign.

"Office Depot has added similar products like Constant Contact from the Elibrium line," said Bryan O'Connell, divisional merchandising manager, Office Depot, "We feel these products are great opportunities for small businesses to utilize the Internet to run their businesses more effectively."

"Elibrium has proven that we understand the needs of small business professionals to grow their business under budget and time constraints," said Christina Willett, senior vice president and general manager of the Elibrium division of ClickAction. "Business Emailer combines ClickAction's core competency in providing enterprise level email marketing technology with our expertise in offering easy-to-use, inexpensive solutions designed specifically with small businesses in mind."

Elibrium partnered with leading ASP provider, Roving Software to co-market and distribute Business Emailer powered by Roving's Constant Contact. This partnership provides complementary email marketing solutions to serve the small business customer.

For businesses looking for an email marketing product that tailors to smaller companies, ClickAction's small business tool, Elibrium's Business Emailer, will be available through the traditional retail channel on April 16 or by clicking on http://elibrium.roving.com.
