Marketing can be a complicated and expensive venture, especially when it comes to database marketing.
Database marketing is a form of direct marketing using databases of customers or potential customers to generate personalized communications in order to promote a product or service for marketing purposes.
While it is relatively easy to get something into a mailbox, the real challenge is to stand out from the competition and motivate a consumer to action.
It starts with a specific strategy of matching the appropriate data with the right creative design and message that connects with the applicable consumer.
hen, we test and fine tune that message for each market segment to ensure optimal results.
Use A Mix Of Marketing Vehicles
Historically, database marketing relied overwhelmingly on direct mail. Then increasingly telemarketing has been used. And now there are a slew of alternatives to consider, including e-mail, fax and or a website.
Particularly for closing sales for higher-ticket goods or services, a combination of several different contact methods may work best.
For example, you may first send a direct-mail piece to "warm up" a prospect and then phone to get an appointment where you try to close the sale in person.
Or in a direct-mail piece you may refer the prospect to a website or an email address where the prospect can get more information without hesitating because they don't want to talk to a salesperson just yet.
Although the process seems simple, most companies have a hard time developing a direct marketing strategy that includes an interactive approach that actually ENGAGES their prospective audience.
