-- BOSTON -- DMA net.Marketing -- September 25, 2000 -- Net Perceptions announced the new product today at the DMA net.Marketing conference in Boston. It�s built on the software company's years of experience helping leading retailers and does two important things.

First, it looks deeply into customer behaviors and reveals distinct segments according to what products they buy and when; such as people who always get the latest DVDs as soon as they are released, or those who want only infant clothes and accessories. This unique information gives marketers an understanding of what products attract good customers. It helps them sell more and guides them toward what they may want to do to keep their best customers coming back. Second, E-commerce Analyst reveals unexpected relationships between products. So a yard and garden merchandiser might discover that buyers of aquatic gardening supplies show surprising interest in yard furniture as well. That customer-product link allows the merchandiser do a better job managing stock and promoting products that go together.

In other Net Perception news, on Sep 28 the company announced expectations for the Q3 2000 of $6 million and $9 million, significantly lower than of $12.4 revenues for Q2 2000. This led to a significant drop in its stock price (NASDAQ: NETP), which fell from 13 to about 4.5.
