Insight: Tracking Customer Costs/Profits
Direct marketers are very proficient tracking their costs and profits
because the medium is the easiest to measure in terms of cost per
sale. One rule of thumb: in most direct-marketing programs, a
customer isn’t profitable until the third time he or she buys.
Think About It
Email CampaignIf you had to design an e-mail campaign for your organization, how would you make it appealing and not just annoying spam?

Tales From the Real World
The public often wonders: “how did they get my name (or address, phone number, or
email account)?”
In the real world, it’s fairly easy to acquire a database list of many different types of
individuals. In fact, it’s amazing how specific some of the lists can be. Some examples of lists offered for sale by a list broker in their catalog:
“accupuncturists,” “golfers,” and “nuclear physicists.”
Final Note:
• The increasing amount of clutter and privacy concerns suggests that the Direct Marketing winners will be those organizations who:• Are creative in making their appeals stand out
• Are sensitive to consumer privacy concerns
