Direct Marketing?
Q. Do u think a company can push its sales more by direct marketing method. Do you think it is more effective way of marketing over other methods.
Asked by Jack - Fri Sep 8 08:10:14 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Different types of marketing are appropriate at different stages of the buying process. A company should design their marketing mix accordingly. There are situations where direct marketing isn t appropriate or effective but many companies rely on direct marketing to generate qualified sales leads. In many cases, a company can generate $20-$50 in directly measurable sales for every $1 spent on direct marketing. With that kind of ROI, direct marketing is an integral part of many marketing plans.

A. I worked in DM for about 3 years. One of the large companies I worked with would use 3 alpha characters, all in caps. I.e., ACZ. Some basics: - Keep it short and easy to input - Use all capital letters - Don't use the letters O or I or the numbers 0 or 1 - Each code must be unique and they should be able to last until infinity. The large company ran so many campaigns that eventually, they had to repurpose their codes. However, a small company I worked with simply numbered their campaigns sequentially and "hid" the year in the code. I.e., 2501-01 for mailing list 1 for campaign 2501, in the year 2005 (year was the second digit).
