Claris Corporation announced it will distribute Claris Emailer 1.1, the award-winning email manager for Mac OS, free of charge over the Internet for a limited time as part of an aggressive strategy to increase market share in the electronic mail software category.

Claris also announced the impending availability of Claris Emailer 2.0 for Mac OS, expected to ship in early 1997, and Claris Emailer 2.0 for Windows, slated for availability later in 1997.

For people who use Internet service providers (ISPs), Intranets, America Online, and CompuServe, Claris Emailer is an efficient way to conduct email communication, manage email overload, and share information across computing platforms and email software applications.

Winning In A Competitive Market Since Claris Emailer 1.0 became available in July, 1995, it has enjoyed tremendous sales growth, received widespread acclaim, and has won awards and praise from journalists and customers alike.

"Hundreds of thousands of people are using Claris Emailer today, and many more can benefit from it. By offering Claris Emailer 1.1 free of charge for a limited time over the Internet, we are encouraging people to try it and intend to expand the installed base significantly," said Guerrino De Luca, president, Claris Corporation. "By making it so easy to try Claris, Emailer, we are confident users will find it the best solution, regardless of their current email manager."

Users of competitive products will find the efficiency and usability of Claris Emailer outstanding.

It is one of the easiest and fastest ways for users in business, home and education settings to communicate and keep in contact with friends, family, customers and colleagues worldwide.

Responding To Market Needs The Wall Street Journal reports that as of September 1996, roughly nine million adult Americans logged onto the Internet's World Wide Web daily. With communications being the most widely used application on the Internet, and email representing over one-third of online use, Claris found that email users in business, home and education environments all share common needs for efficient communication, managing information overload and the ability to share information across platforms.
