News & Press Releases

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Oct. 16, 2006) - J.L. Halsey (OTCBB:LYRI.OB), a leading provider of marketing technology solutions to more than 10,000 clients through its subsidiary companies Lyris Technologies, EmailLabs, ClickTracks and Hot Banana, today launched a companywide discount program for existing clients of J.L. Halsey units. The announcement was made at DMA06, the Direct Marketing Association convention, here through Oct. 19.

All four J.L. Halsey operating companies - ClickTracks Analytics, Inc. (www.clicktracks.com), EmailLabs (www.emaillabs.com), Hot Banana Software Inc. (www.hotbanana.com) and Lyris Technologies (www.lyris.com) – are offering discounts of 10 to 20 percent to clients of fellow Halsey units.

The discount program is J.L. Halsey's first coordinated incentive since it acquired ClickTracks and Hot Banana in August. The acquisitions expanded the company's offerings beyond email marketing to also include Web content management and Web analytics – the three technologies small- to mid-size marketing teams rely on most.

"J.L. Halsey's new discount program makes it easier for satisfied customers of one subsidiary to add additional award-winning J.L. Halsey solutions to their marketing toolkits," said Loren McDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, J.L. Halsey. "But this is only the first step toward providing a complete toolset for the mid-size marketer. Over time, we will further enhance our standalone offerings and integrate compatible features, so time-strapped marketers have fewer tools to juggle."

Existing clients can enjoy discounts when they purchase the following brands:

• ClickTracks: EmailLabs, Hot Banana, Lyris and Sparklist clients who sign a one-year contract on any ClickTracks hosted software solution will receive a 20 percent discount. The offer expires November 15, 2006. For more information: http://www.clicktracks.com/smartmarketing.
• EmailLabs: ClickTracks and Hot Banana clients who sign a one-year contract on EmailLabs hosted email marketing solution will receive a 20 percent discount. Offer expires November 15, 2006. The offer does not apply to Lyris, Sparklist or EmailAdvisor clients. For more information: http://www.emaillabs.com/lp/jl_halsey_client_discount_emaillabs.html.

• Lyris and Sparklist: ClickTracks and Hot Banana clients who sign a one-year contract on Lyris, Sparklist or EmailAdvisor hosted or installed software email marketing or delivery monitoring solutions will receive a 20 percent discount.
