We are big believers in direct marketing
and have different contact strategies for
different customers:
• Active or hot
These are customers with whom you do
business on a regular basis, the bread and butter of
your organisation.
• Lapsed or lukewarm
These are clients with whom you
do business on an infrequent basis. They occasionally
use you for ad-hoc projects.
• Cold
These are potential customers. They are within
your target market but have not yet been approached
or converted.
It’s about building a rapport and remaining top of mind.
All too often, businesses focus on hunting new accounts
or winning new business. It’s the old adage. It’s a lot
easier and less expensive to win new business from
existing customers than it is to win new business from
new customers.
The method of approach, design of literature and tone of
voice must match the target audience if direct mail is to
be successful.
We love direct mail. It tells us what your customer
wants and doesn’t want. We have found this method
of marketing the most informative. It’s measurable and
that’s what counts.
