Do you manage campaigns via an Excel spreadsheet and e-mail, or worse, a wall chart and a Magic Marker? With the need to operate in more than one channel for share of market and share of customer, it's getting harder to execute multiple campaigns without the aid of a sophisticated software tool.
The following is a roundup of campaign management software solutions available to direct marketers. The only criteria for inclusion was that the product offer a component for direct mail campaign management; however, it could also handle e-mail, telemarketing, and other forms of marketing communication—which most do.
While this is not a comprehensive list of all campaign management tools, you will find many of the field leaders. We have provided contact information for each listing, but omitted pricing estimates due to the variability of each product configuration.
