Targeting and Segmentation Strategies
What Your Email Subscribers Really Want
As marketers, we all know how important it is to make sure that our email and other direct marketing efforts are relevant to our customers. We also understand that customers are taking more control of their relationships with us and are demanding that we engage with them in ways that work. Doing this effectively requires a marketing strategy that integrates efforts across channels, while allowing for us to continuously "listen" to our customers and adjust tactics based on what we "hear" from them.

Orchestrating Mailings Across Channels to Drive Results

When consumers interact with a brand, online or offline, they expect to be recognized and viewed as the same consumer in accordance with their view of the brand as a cross-channel company. Delivering this consistent cross-channel experience requires marketers to not only leverage data, but orchestrate email and offline mailings to build a threaded dialog to drive customer action.

Marketers for years have tried variances of mapping response to timing and trigger messaging. It absolutely makes sense in some cases. Yet if it’s so successful, why isn’t response modeling and behavioral targeting through email more pervasive in the space?
