A number of list companies used List Day to introduce new products or new list acquisitions. Here is a rundown of the announcements:
* The Millard Group, Peterborough, NH, has been awarded management of the Genesis Direct list rental databases. Both the corporate and enhanced lifestyle databases of the growing catalog company contain 6 million names. Millard also has taken over management of the 2.8-million-name Nickelodeon Children’s Contest list of responders to Nickelodeon sweepstakes promotions.
Millard also participated with Mokrynski & Associates, Hackensack, NJ, Experian Direct Tech, Schaumburg, IL, and OrderTrust, Lowell, MA, in a seminar explaining the benefits of the RFMplus cooperative catalog database, which now is available to noncatalogers.
