FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Adelphia Communications and the Buffalo Sabres recently launched an innovative cross-market customer loyalty program using customer relationship management and kiosk technology developed by TouchVision and Carlson Marketing Group (CMG). Adelphia customers that hold Sabres season tickets receive points and special offers for events they attend at Marine Midland Arena. Club members use their membership card to record attendance at one of 8 interactive stadium kiosks. The kiosk network instantly checks a database for member profile. Based on the profile, the member receives personalized special offer coupons for merchandise in the arena and communications services from Adelphia Cable. Attendance data collected by the stadium network is synchronized with the master database maintained by CMG in Minneapolis.
