Okay, so what are these important statements saying? Essentially they reveal that a colour postcard with content pushing for the person to visit the PURL you have included in the campaign will increase your direct marketing success rate dramatically.
A PURL by the way is a page of your website personalized for the individual clients e.g. www.YourDomain.com/John.Smith. This is a great draw card and is great for tracking customer behaviour. Which is important for online marketing.
A good PURL should capture important information input by the customer for you to move to the next step on the way to a sale. The information should also feed the database. From the customer’s point of view, she is informed and gains confidence in your business.
The terrific thing about cross or combination marketing is that it is quite inexpensive. What is more, you can track the results so you can control and tweak your marketing campaign, get leads sent to your mobile phone or email. The overall result is that revenue should explode!
