January 2009 From Target Marketing
For companies that had their heads in the clouds when it came time to upgrade their computers, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and JDA Software Group thought it was time for some skywriting. The technology firms sent out personalized direct mail pieces that featured a man with his arms spread upward, experiencing an epiphany due to these fluffy words forming above his head: “Bruce Schwartz, The Moment Has Arrived.”
E-Commerce Link: Preferential Treatment
July 2008 From Target Marketing
Preference centers are an important part of any good e-mail program. In fact, I believe they’re a must-have component. Building good preference centers starts with the registration process and the information collected when individuals sign up for communications. Then, their power really comes into play with ongoing e-mails. Typically, the e-mail footer contains a link to the recipient’s personal preference center where one can modify or update his personal information and preferences. Why They Are Important As a marketer, you want to maintain relationships with your e-mail list, and one critical aspect is the individual’s ability to update an e-mail address. Keep in mind

December 2007 From Denny Hatch's Business Common Sense
I guess in terms of the country—and the balance of trade—a crashing dollar is a good thing. For my balance of trade, it stinks. We flew into London last Saturday and went out for dinner. A bowl of soup for lunch was £8.50, which translates to $17.00. A £4.00 ride on the Underground for 10 blocks to get out of a rainstorm was $8.00 ($16 for two)—not a lot of fun. Dinner for two was at least $100 pretty much anywhere. An exception was the Albert Pub. The bad news: the food was so-so. The good news: dinner was relatively inexpensive. The best
How HP Reduced Marketing Spend by 15 Percent
January 2007 From Tipline
After Hewlett-Packard (HP) merged with Compaq in 2002, the technology powerhouse had a whopping 86 marketing organizations worldwide. Adding to the complexity: Each group had its own resources, systems and budget. Processes and languages differed; even the metrics used to execute, track and measure campaigns were different from organization to organization. “Continuity was poor. Corporate marketing initiatives were not always aligned with field programs and campaigns. It was critical that we be able to build on all of the customer touchpoints and present a common view of HP,” recalls Mike Winkler, HP’s chief marketing officer, in the whitepaper Hewlett-Packard Company Reinvents Marketing and Reduces Spend

10 Ways to Better Serve Your Online Customers This Holiday
November 2006 From Tipline
Last year, online holiday shopping exceeded $44 billion. But, companies still are making critical mistakes in the language they use on their Web sites that has users going elsewhere. Unsuccessful sites are organization-centric. Practically all Web sites—whether intranets or public sites—start off with an organization-centric worldview. Gerry McGovern provides 10 tips to make your site more customer-centric. 1. You are not your customer. Never fall into the fatal trap of thinking that all you have to do to understand your customers is look into your heart. Constantly research and test. 2.

Who May Be Spying on You ... and Why?
October 2006 From Denny Hatch's Business Common Sense
From 1920 to 1933, Henry L. Stimson was secretary of state in the Hoover administration. In 1929, he closed down the State’s cryptanalytic office and his quote about gentlemen not reading each other’s mail became famous. Fortunately he changed his mind when he headed the War Department under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Had the United States not broken the Japanese code in the early years of World War II, tens of thousands of American lives would have been lost. The same is true for the Brits intercepting German radio traffic with the now-famous Enigma machines at Bletchley Park. Down deep inside, I agree with Stimson; snooping
