Almost caught up to where we were in 2001

It's funny that for the most part Internet retailers and the rewards card issuers are just now catching up to where the vendors of Internet personalization, targeting, data-mining, etc... wanted them to be in 2001. For example, a friend of mine used his rewards card to purchase a router at a local Staples store. A couple days later he received this personalized email.



Now I'm not saying that others haven't been doing this, in fact I know of several companies with fairly advanced campaign targeting systems in place. What I like is that this email is essentially trigger based and personalized and from a standard retailer.
