PointClear Recommends Marketing Strategy Utilizing a Mix of Media for
Highest Return
ATLANTA (May 2, 2006) – PointClear, the
Business Prospect Outsourcing company, documents that successful
companies are shifting from large and costly single media campaigns
to direct marketing campaigns that use a mix of media such as phone
calls, email and direct mail to build familiarity and repetition
with targeted prospects. The most successful companies are integrating
multiple media into a coordinated marketing strategy to maximize
effectiveness.
“Single media campaigns waste an enormous amount of money,”
said Dan McDade, president of PointClear. “Millions are spent
each year on one-off ads or direct mail pieces that win awards,
but little business. Based on our experience with our clients, the
most effective marketing strategy blends voice, email, direct marketing
and interactive media. Our multi-touch, multi-media campaigns can
increase results by over 65 percent.”
PointClear’s multi-touch, multi-media marketing strategy
is documented in a recent MarketingProfs.com case study, entitled
“Lead-Generation Case Study: How Multiple Touches Can Lead
to Profit Multiples.”
McDade further advises that any direct marketing campaign is doomed
to failure unless it is built on a solid prospect marketing database
that is accurate and properly segmented. “What many companies
don’t realize is that over 60 percent of the value of any
direct marketing campaign is driven by list and database issues.
Reaching the right prospect with the right message is paramount,”
he said.
Market segmentation and a multi-touch, multi-media marketing strategy
for reaching prospects are core components of PointClear’s
Six Deliverables Methodology™, which integrates marketing
best practices, tools and metrics to help companies connect with
targets and close sales. PointClear’s multi-touch direct marketing
programs integrate phone, voice mail, e-mail, web sites, and direct
mail to nurture sales opportunities until they are ready to purchase.
For nearly a decade, PointClear has been helping companies with
complex sales processes improve their revenue performance by developing
a successful marketing strategy. As part of this, the company helps
to properly identify and segment target audiences, build relationships,
and drive a consistent, predictable flow of highly qualified sales
opportunities to clients.
