What Is Data Marketing?
|
The exact definition of data marketing is disputed, but generally speaking when you see the phrase it refers to selling data you have or using data you hold on customers to market products to them.
Anyone who holds a database of people's details be it employees, customers or suppliers could potentially use those details for data marketing.
Why Data Marketing is so Effective
Data marketing is so effective because in most cases you are trying to sell products to customers who have already brought something similar off of you or another firm. You are usually pushing against an open door. They want to know about the products you are offering and are only too happy to buy again from you especially if your data marketing includes vouchers or special offers.
By law the people you have on your database and send additional marketing to will have already agreed to accept that marketing, so generally do not view it as junk mail or as a nuisance.
Finding a Data Marketing Consultant
If you want to get more out of your customer databases and do not really know how to do so it is a good idea to use a data marketing consultant. They look at the data you hold and advice you on whether you can sell that data on to other people. They will not only work out if it is worth your while selling your data they will also identify whether you can do so legally and how best to go about it.
As well as selling your data you can consider using your customer database for carrying out your own data marketing. A good consultant will not only advice you on whether you can do your own data marketing they will also tell you exactly how to do it.
There are many forms of data marketing options out there. You may run a campaign by post or via e-mail. SMS messaging is a new form of data marketing that is catching on fast and is relatively easy to set up and run once you know how. |
