SOURCES AND TYPES OF DATA
CHARACTERISTICS OF DATABASE MARKETING
Database marketing is an interactive approach to marketing, which uses individually addressable marketing media and channels
• To extend help to a company's target audience• To stimulate their demand and• To stay close to them by recording and keeping an
electronic database memory of customer, prospect and all commercial contacts, to help improve all future contacts and to ensure more realistic planning of all marketing
ADVANTAGES OF DATABASE MARKETING
The use of databases for targeting and analysis is powerful because it enables a shift from third-degree segmentations (or self – selection) to first degree segmentation: the creation of individually tailored offerings based on customer characteristics and behavior. It employs observation rather than inference.
CUSTOMER PROFILE DATABASE
Profiling customers (or prospects) is the
process of obtaining detailed information about
them. This information can range from
demographic to psychographic data. The results
of profiling help a firm to determine the best
messages to convey, products to target, and
communications to avoid. There are six main
categories of profile data for a Shopping mall :
Contd…...
1. Customer sales potential
2. Customer characteristics
3. Summary of customer acquisition,
retention
and add-on-selling measures
4. Organisational/product charts of various
shops and key personnel
5. Influences and specifiers for the visit and
6. Customer attitudes and motivation to
shop
CUSTOMER PROFILE DATABASE
CASUAL MARKETING DATABASES
Casual marketing databases capture data on
the marketing programs offered to individual
prospects and customers. They are
extremely complex to create, because firms
rarely track marketing activities at the
individual-customer level. However, they are
also extremely valuable, because the
information they contain can significantly
improve marketing efficiency and
effectiveness.
DATA QUALITY
Data quality is measured by the results of the
surveillance audit carried out by the firm from
time to time. During this period, every customer
or prospect interaction is tracked form different
angles. These contacts sometime may not
generate revenue, but each one can be linked to
an expected or potential monetary value in the
future. Hence the quality of data in the data
warehouse is more important.
DATA WAREHOUSES AND DATAMINING
Data mining involves the use of
sophisticated statistical and mathematical
techniques such as cluster analysis,
automatic interaction detection, predictive
modeling, and neural networking. Through
data mining, marketing statisticians can
extract useful information about individuals,
trends, and segments from the mass of data
Database marketing help the firm
to focus on the data and
undertake certain analyses like
Deciles and the RFM
The RS Matrix is a tool used to
target defectors
