Benefits of Acquiring a Direct Marketing Database

 

When we say direct marketing, it is a type of advertising where traditional forms of media are not being used such as television, newspapers, or radio. Instead, this form of marketing would let businesses communicate straight to their clients and customers with advertising techniques. It would compose of giving out fliers, catalogs, promotional letters, as well as telemarketing campaigns.

 

No matter what industry your business is in, direct marketing is a great way to bring in more customers and clients for your organization. But in order to know who would be your target market, acquiring a direct marketing database is important. This database would allow your business to know who are the most interested in taking advantage of your products and services.

 

There are many benefits that you can receive once you are able to acquire a direct marketing database. Some of the benefits are listed here, so read on to find out more.

 

• Deliver an increase of sales

The database that you would get is a list of people, along with their businesses, that would be the most interested in either affiliating with your company or purchasing one or many of your products and services. Since the prospects are within your target market, the possibility of closing a sale with your leads would be very high.

• Build personal relationships

What happens when a customer likes your products and services? They would come back for more. The direct marketing database would allow you to have a deeper and more personal relationship with your clients to allow business partnerships to grow.

• Customer satisfaction is improved

Since you are able to have a direct line of communication between your prospects, the direct marketing database assures your possible clients the satisfaction that they deserve. Marketing by the use of other non-direct methods such as TV and newspapers cannot do this since they would just advertisements in hopes of getting someone’s attention.

• Customer retention is improved

The database also allows you to keep track of current clients and customers. Through the database you can send them valuable information about various products and services in your company as well as give them new information about product launches. This would ensure the client’s interest in your company will always stay at an all time high.

• Increase customer count

The more you get your clients and customers interested about doing business transactions with your company, the more you can get referrals from them. The reason why is because when people like something they tell other people what makes them happy or satisfied. This is an indirect way of advertising your business and would ultimately result in increasing the number of prospects within your database.

• Save more on expenses

Acquiring a direct marketing database may cost your business to cough up a pretty penny but those expenses will soon be made into profit. When you calculate on acquiring a business database immediately to that of generating your own leads, you would notice that you would save so much on valuable resources. For example, you would save on utility bills, such as electricity, heating, and water, to sustain your team of sales representatives since part of their work has already been finished.

 

Using these benefits to your advantage would allow your business to grow in more ways than one. These benefits along with the nature of direct marketing are proven to be a powerful tool to effectively market a business’ products and services.

The Business of Database Marketing by Tooker, Richard N.; Hughes, Arthur Middleton Edition ILL, 0 $30.49 Dozens of books have been written by database marketing and customer relationship management experts covering various aspects of the disciplines, but there isn’t a single book or article that shows how to incorporate all of this wisdom into a coherent, overarching business strategy that includes both the database marketing strategy and the technology build. What’s missing—and what’s needed—is a clear, non-technical explanation of how all the parts should fit together to create a dynamic, customer-centric, productive business—without the endless acronyms and murky pools of technical jargon. Also, there is a crying need for a book that approaches the problem the way business people live and work: by defining the problems and objectives and then identifying the technology that will fix those problems and achieve those objectives, not the other way around. In addition, the book provides inside information about the actual business of database marketing, including knowing how to get the maximum benefit from working with an agency or supplier and, on the other side, how to work with a client. The Business of Database Marketing covers all the bases for the typical business reader.

Based on decades of collective research, teaching, and application in the field, the authors present the most comprehensive treatment to date of database marketing, integrating theory and practice. Presenting rigorous models, methodologies, and techniques (including data collection, field testing, and predictive modeling), and illustrating them through dozens of examples, the authors cover the full spectrum of principles and topics related to database marketing.This is an excellent in-depth overview of both well-known and very recent topics in customer management models. It is an absolute must for marketers who want to enrich their knowledge on customer analytics. (Peter C. Verhoef, Professor of Marketing, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Groningen)A marvelous combination of relevance and sophisticated yet understandable analytical material. It should be a standard reference in the area for many years. (Don Lehmann, George E. Warren Professor of Business, Columbia Business School)The title tells a lot about the book's approach—though the cover reads, database, the content is mostly about customers and that's where the real-world action is. Most enjoyable is the comprehensive story – in case after case – which clearly explains what the analysis and concepts really mean. This is an essential read for those interested in database marketing, customer relationship management and customer optimization. (Richard Hochhauser, President and CEO, Harte-Hanks, Inc.)In this tour de force of careful scholarship, the authors canvass the ever expanding literature on database marketing. This book will become an invaluable reference or text for anyone practicing, researching, teaching or studying the subject. (Edward C.

An analysis of sports media usage by adults. $49.99 The problem was an analysis of sports media usage of adult attendees of the Virtual Sports Employment Fair, March 18-19, 2009, online through the company, Expos2. It was determined this is the first time that virtual online technology was used to contact subjects for an academic study. Although the survey itself was disseminated via virtual marketing software, the initial and all subsequent interaction with the subjects was done completely online using Expos2 software. A two-page questionnaire of 40 questions was developed to determine what sports media adults use on a regular basis, with what frequency these are used and if there was a consideration of content and gender. A pilot study was conducted with 20 adults ages 18 and older to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Changes were made to the survey based on the results of the pilot study and recommendations by a panel of experts. The subjects were volunteers who agreed to be part of the study for a small incentive. All the subjects were attendees of the Virtual Sports Employment Fair, held March 18-19, 2009. The survey was uploaded to a subscription-based virtual marketing company, Constant Contact, and the names of all the attendees of the Virtual Sports Employment Fair were entered into the e-mail database. An e-mail request to complete the survey was sent to all attendees of the Fair at least twice during the event and again the following weekend. Of the 162 attendees that registered, 123 had active accounts, and 40 voluntarily participated in the study. The data supplied from the 40 surveys was collected and entered into SPSS 15.0 analysis software. The researcher was unable to draw any statistically significant differences between the usage habits of older and younger adults, men and women and education levels. The researcher concluded that older adults preferred to use news-based sports media over entertainment-based media; whereas, the younger adults used both programming bases. In
