Bethesda, MD – November 13, 2006 – Student Horizons, Inc.'s Email Services' platform, EmailLabs, was recognized by JupiterResearch's October 2006 "Constellation of ESPs with Small-to-Midsize Market Focus.”

EmailLabs is one of only four companies placed in the prestigious upper-right sector of the constellation, a placement indicating that compared to other vendors, EmailLabs has one of the highest levels of “overall business value” and “market suitability.”

"We'll continue to power our Email Services division with EmailLabs technology. Impartial, third parties like JupiterResearch continue to recognize the platform as ideal for small-to-midsize organizations, which suits our schools' needs well," said Student Horizons, Inc.'s President and CEO Wes Creel.

With the release of EmailLabs 4.8 in August, the company introduced new features that help marketers minimize undeliverable or improperly formatted emails, create more effective messages based on contextually relevant best practices, offer RSS delivery to their subscribers, and uncover statistically significant variations in campaign performance – based on subscriber demographics and attributes.

These improvements contributed significantly to EmailLabs’ strong showing.
