Build and use your database.
The goal is to develop a flexible and expanding database
filled with volumes of data on each and every customer you
have, that constantly needs adding to and massaging. Care
in the collection and management of this data is rewarded
with rich eMarketing options, from blanket offers to all customers,
down to targeted offers to just one customer. The data is
your tool to reach out and communicate intelligently with
your customer.
Communicate Offers.
Establish a regular two way dialog with your customers. Offer
them something of value and in return receive some additoinal
information. The more your customers trust you and value the
relationship, the more readily they will provide you with
information. So, the key in the design of the eMarketing campaign
is not just in creating a pretty eMail, but in making the
offer you send relevant, valuable and interesting enough to
both prompt an answer to your questions, but more importantly,
to stimulate a trip to the store to purchase.
Increase Sales.
Your new season's products have just hit the shelves, you
know that you need to move them quickly to maximize GP, before
you have to special them to make way for the next season.
Send out an eMarketing campaign to your closest customers,
announcing the arrival of your new product and offering them
the first look. Make it an event, make it fun, buy them a
drink and move your product more quickly.
