February 8, 2012
From Today @ Target Marketing
Predictive analytics can help marketers upsell and cross-sell products to customers.

Archive Observations: Tell Donors What You Do
October 23, 2008
From Inside Direct Mail Weekly
Nonprofits can reassure donors that their money is being spent well by using good teasers to call attention to budgeting efforts. In July, Make-A-Wish Foundation (Archive code #613-183464-0807) tells its target to "Look inside for our Report Card!"

Telling the story of a sick child in the letter adds a heartfelt tug at the pursestrings. USA for UNHCR welcomes a new donor with the copy, "Here's what your recent donation is accomplishing," in large type on its 6" x 9-1/2" outer.

With inbox advertising avoidance on the rise, experts predict that
Should Congress Shut Down eBay?
February 2008
From Denny Hatch's Business Common Sense
I have a huge file on the European Union and the myriad ways bureaucrats in Brussels insinuate themselves and their personal agendas into every facet of business and life. They dictate what can and cannot be done in terms of work rules, consumer marketing, competition, the media, nannies, light bulbs, data and so much more. In November, the EU issued a directive on noise abatement that included how loud symphony orchestras are allowed to play. Last week I read the story of how the state of Pennsylvania wants to shut down the thriving eBay auction business of single mom Mary Jo Pletz, which enables

January 2008
From Tipline
