CHESTER 28 February 2011
New Irish office opened in Dublin's Clontarf Road to reflect our intention to extend our offer in b2c customer retention and acquisition to the market in Ireland from a local office staffed by directors who are established members of the Irish and European business community.
From our HQ in Chester, we service major national and international brands including Telefonica O2 UK, Filofax, Avon and Hoover. We provide bespoke customer loyalty reward programmes and customer acquisition incentive/reward packages, based around travel and leisure experiences.
Nuala Canning has been recruited as Business Development Director for Ireland. Nuala will be responsible for developing and enhancing business in the Irish market. Prior to joining us, Nuala was head of Client Development with Communicorp, which owns Today FM, Newstalk, Dublin's 98FM, Spin 1038 and Spin South West.

Simon Kent, Joint MD, said, "We have already enjoyed great success in the Irish market with Telefonica 02 Ireland and it has become apparent that businesses in Ireland have a real requirement to drive customer loyalty, particularly in these recessionary times. Our expertise in large scale, high-perceived value loyalty programmes is driving a phenomenal growth in our business.
"Both myself and other UK Directors are regular visitors to Ireland and we have been encouraged by the strength and tenacity of the Dublin business community and their appreciation of the need to drive customer loyalty. This has been instrumental in our decision to set up our own base in Dublin.
"We have already received a great deal of interest from leading Irish companies who have been aware of the 02 Treats programme and our extensive inventory of restaurants, hotels, sports activities, experiences and beauty treatments across Ireland where our clients' customers can redeem their incentives and rewards."
The opening of an office in Dublin is part of our overall expansion strategy, which recently saw leading marketing strategist, Katrina Michel, joining the board as non-executive Director.

CHESTER 10 March 2011
Leading marketing strategist, Katrina Michel, has joined the board of AIM Solutions as non-executive Director. A well-known and respected figure in the agency community, Katrina was Chairman of Cheetham Bell J Walter Thompson in Manchester, one of the largest agencies outside London and part of JWT Worldwide. Three years ago she co-founded Planning Express, which she left in September to take on new challenges.

Speaking of her remit here, Katrina said, "I'm really excited to be following this research through by working with the board to reposition AIM Solutions in the loyalty and sales promotion market.
This insight will allow us to lead the way in delivering instant rewards that have real value and relevance to the consumer, which is what our research tells us end-users are seeking."
Commenting on the appointment, Simon Kent, MD of AIM Solutions, said, "Our recent research has resulted in a fresh wave of thinking and a completely new language and way of creating and communicating offers to end users. Katrina's, huge depth of experience and consumer insight on the board will help AIM deliver what consumers actually want. She is a great asset."
Having enjoyed a healthy increase in business and recently recruiting six new experienced agency executives, we are now poised to expand the business further and have moved to larger premises in Chester to accommodate this growth. Future developments include the imminent opening of an office in Dublin and a new website to reflect the company's updated thinking and direction.

We Partner with Telefonica O2 Ireland for b2c 'Treats' initiative
CHESTER February 2010
As customer loyalty specialists, we partnered with Telefonica O2 Ireland to devise and implement its new b2c 'Treats' initiative.
O2 has 1.7 million customers in Ireland who can choose from a range of travel, lifestyle and leisure 'Special Treats' which can be
redeemed at over 1,000 destinations across Ireland and a further 1,500 worldwide. Eligible customers will be sent an SMS message to
advise them that they have been awarded a 'Special Treat' and give them instructions on the simple mechanism to choose and redeem their reward.
Commenting, Simon Kent, MD of AIM Solutions, said, "To suitably reward O2's customers, we have recruited a large number of partner suppliers
to deliver these rewards and offer something for everyone, virtually on their doorstep."
"As well as providing all the usual agency services of creativity, sourcing, design, etc, to our client, O2, we have also extended our fulfilment
service and created a customised version of our 'unique burning code' software to allow O2 customers to be automatically identified and directed
to the correct landing page on the O2 site. From there they are able to select the reward voucher of their choice on-line, download and print it
out there and then. Their claim code is also 'burnt' into the voucher, thereby making it unique and countering any potential viral over redemption
issues. Full redemption statistics are also available, so that O2 will be able to see exactly who has downloaded which treat and when."
