customer growth programs
We design, execute and measure programs that target the three roads to growth: Customer retention, expansion and acquisition. All programs leverage insights gained from advanced analytics performed on our Peer Customer Database to improve performance and program ROI:
Onboarding - Regression analysis and an understanding of key customer needs allows us to target new customers while they are at their most receptive.
Customer expansion - Analyzing the over 650,000 customer household relationships in our Peer Database allows us to create profiles of customers with an increased propensity to purchase your products.
Customer acquisition - Through careful data analysis of your customer base and markets, we can better target new customer offers and improve program performance. Recently, new approaches integrate traditional targeted communications with social media and event marketing to improve response rates and ROI.
direct and email marketing
Well designed, skillfully targeted direct mail and email drives new accounts. The key is understanding the need which your offer addresses. We leverage response data from all client campaigns to test optimal targeting and messaging strategies to increase campaign ROI. We create profiles of customers that demonstrate greater propensity to purchase. And we integrate online and mobile platforms to improve prospect trial and action.
New market entrance
