Direct Marketing |
 |
| 13 Sep 07 |
Used properly, Direct Marketing can be highly effective and generate a significant return on your company's marketing investment. However, making the wrong decisions can lead to very disappointing results. Some things to consider in making your direct marketing choices include:
Target audience - who exactly are you trying to reach with this activity? What do you know about them? The more information you have about your potential customers, the more effectively you can reach them.
How are you going to get their contact details? Are you buying data or using your own database? How accurate is the data? Are you complying with the TPS, MPS and FPS rules?
What medium will be most effective to reach your targets - mail, leaflets, phone, on-line, e-mail, SMS ...?
When is the best time to contact your targets? What season, month, week, day, time?
What message do you want to send? Has it been tested? Will it motivate your target to take action? Is it what you want to say or what your target wants to hear?
Is there a clear call to action? Is it easy for your targets to respond?
How will you know if the activity has worked? Have you set a target and how will you measure response?
