10 Principles of Direct Marketing
17 April 2011
Direct Marketing Business and Marketing Strategy
The basic fundamental principles when planning your direct marketing campaigns.
A new customer is the most meaningful financial transaction you can make - instead of thinking of
the profit you make on a single sale - think instead of the annual worth of a new customer to you.
When your thinking is restricted to the profit you make from a one-time sale there is insufficient
encouragement for you to invest in the necessary campaign budget(s) to win new customers. When
you think in terms of the continuing annual value of the new customer, you will have every
encouragement to invest in winning more customers.
'Viewing customers individually - is the key to relationship marketing.'
Principle 1 - The right objective
Set specific objectives for your short and long-term plans, because if you don't, you have no
yardstick with which to measure its success or failure.
Quantify your objectives.
When your objectives are clear, every element in your campaign or package should be
designed to lead the prospect towards the very action that you want him to take.
The method you employ to achieve your objectives will depend on the nature of your productor service and the target market you want to reach.
Principle 2 - Your target market
It is the most important ingredient in your campaign?

Select your prospects with care, and select them with the same or similar
profiles as your present customers.
The closer you are to your profile and target market, the more successful you will be.
It is better to send a poor package to a good prospect, than a good package to a poor
prospect.
"Don't sell to everybody; sell to somebody!" (Bodyshop).
Principle 3 - Your offer
The fist step in planning an offer is to think about the objective of your campaign.
What do you want your present/past/prospective customer to do?
Buy your products, use your services, build traffic into your stores, ask for a sales
representative to call, enter a competition, etc.?
Always ask yourself - what is the big benefit my customer will gain from using or even
owning my product or service?
The right offer will get you immediate and more results.
Select the most attractive offer you can afford. Not all good offers are expensive.
Principle 4 - Your communication
Every part or element of your communication package (personal visit, phone call, letter, fax,
E-mail, whatever') must look and feel right to your customer.
'Dress it up.'
Use the AIDA principle: Your message must gain the customer's Attention from the start.
Involve him and arouse his interest. Develop that interest in to a strong Desire for ownership
and usership and get the desired Action.

Principle 5 - Test/analyse and evaluate
You will never know how successful you are going to be. The only way is to test and test
continually.
Develop a control strategy or package, test, improve, analyse, improve, test, analyse, etc.
It is not the percentage response, which matters; it is the conversion of responses into sales
and the profit you generate from this contact.
Take time to ensure that you learn from all your experiences, good or bad.
Jock Falkson from Effective Letters always said: 'Remember you cannot bank a response.'
Analyse the right things - and analyse it against your objectives.
Principle 6 - Costs and Budgets
Most, if not all, direct marketing activities are expensive and can erode profits quickly unless
kept under tight financial control.
Very few companies know what their cost per customer is. If you don't, it is essential that you
do so.
You may find that you have lost money on your first sale. But if you pursue it and go after
your customers and try to maximise their purchases you will win.
It is the lifetime value of a customer that is important.
The cost of servicing customers decreases over time.
The cost of each and every contact should be budgeted for (fixed and variable costs) inadvance, so that you can tailor it to maximise value for your rands invested.
All customers should have a profit and loss account with you. What he has spent with you
and what you have spent on him.

Principle 7 - Training of employees
All your employees should be briefed on all your marketing and advertising activities, in order
that they understand why you are doing it and what results you are expecting and what
results you have achieved. This is the only way that they will play their part to the full.
Employees who is not adequately prepared or trained to support your programme or handle
your responses have ruined many successful contacts.
Loyal employees are linked to loyal customers.
Employee loyalty increases business profitability, competitiveness and market share.
Principle 8 - Co-ordination and communication
Successful campaigns depend on proper planning, co-ordination and communication of all
activities of all departments and divisions, which are likely to be involved in the process.
Principle 9 - Programming and planning
Allow sufficient time for planning and execution. Plan ahead, but be flexible.
Percy Barnevik - Chairman, ABB Asea Brown Boveri, Zurich, said at a conference on global
competitiveness: "We don't need any more bright ideas. There are lots of them around.
In business, success is 5% strategy, 95% execution."
Take into consideration your company's policies, philosophies and activities.
Take into consideration all your employees and your team.
Do not forget your competitors.
Analyse and evaluate your programmes.
Remember that every mistake has a score and a cost.

Principle 10 - Frequency and priority
How many times do you have to see the same person to get a reaction, or how many times
do you have to mail to a person to get a result?
Nobody knows! What we do know is, that if you see 10 people and 1 reply, you have 9
uncommitted people.
There are various reasons why they haven't responded - circumstances, did not need your
product or service now, your approach, your package, etc.
All we know is - contact them again, and again, and again!
It is important to remember - if you have set clear objectives and you have qualified these
objectives in terms of numbers, you will know when to contact them again.
The longer you retain customers, the more profitable they become.
Your checklist:
1. Set clear objectives and quantify them;
2. Define your primary and secondary target markets
3. Set your budgets (costs and expenses)
4. Allow sufficient time for planning and execution
5. Your modus operandi
6. Conclusions - evaluation and analysis.
The combination of all the above disciplines, ideas and involvement should result in a brighter
approach to business, better sales, profits and the occasional failure.
Learn from all your experiences, good or bad.
You're in business today, for tomorrow!
Take the short and the long-term into consideration:
Your business is to satisfy customers;

You must prefer to make a customer than to making a sale;
You must cultivate your present customers
You must re-activate your past customers
You must reach our for new customers
You must know what your natural means of communication is.
All your efforts are a 50/50 combination of disciplined effort and creative fun.

Here are 30 timeless direct marketing principles he discovered over the course of his long career:
1. All customers are not created equal. Give or take a few percentage points, 80 percent of repeat
business for goods and services will come from 20 percent of your customer base.
2. The most important order you ever get from a customer is the second order. Why? Because atwo-time buyer is at least twice as likely to buy again as a one-time buyer.
3. Maximizing direct mail success depends first upon the lists you use, second upon the offers
you make, and third upon the copy and graphics you create.
4. If, on a given list, hotline names dont work, the other list categories offer little opportunity
for success.
5. Merge/purge namesthose that appear on two or more listswill outpull any single list
from which these names have been extracted.
6. Direct response lists will almost always outpull compiled lists.
7. Overlays on lists (enhancements), such as lifestyle characteristics, income, education, age,
marital status, and propensity to respond by mail or phone will always improve response.
8. A follow-up to the same list within 30 days will pull 40 to 50 percent of the first mailing.
9. Yes/No offers consistently produce more orders than offers that dont request Noresponses.
10. The take rate for negative option offers will always outpull positive option offers at leasttwo to one.
11. Credit card privileges will out-perform cash with order at least two to one.
12. Credit card privileges will increase the size of the average catalog order by 20 percent, or
more.
13. Time limit offers, particularly those which give a specific date, outpull offers with no time
limit practically every time.
14. Free gift offers, particularly where the gift appeals to self-interest, outpull discount offersconsistently.
15. Sweepstakes, particularly in conjunction with impulse purchases, will increase order volume
35 percent, or more.

16. You will collect far more money in a fund-raising effort if you ask for a specific amount
from a purchaser. Likewise, you will collect more money if the appeal is tied to a specificproject.
17. People buy benefits, not features.
18. The longer you can keep someone reading your copy, the better your chances of success.
19. The timing and frequency of renewal letters is vital. But I can report nothing but failure over
a period of 40 years in attempts to hype renewals with improved copy. Ive concluded that the
product the magazine, for exampleis the factor in making a renewal decision.
20. Self-mailers are cheaper to produce, but they practically never outpull envelope enclosedletter mailings.
21. A pre-print of a forthcoming ad, accompanied by a letter and response form, will outpull a
post-print mailing package by 50 percent, or more.
22. It is easier to increase the average dollar amount of an order than it is to increase percentageof response.
23. You will get far more new catalog customers if you put your proven winners in the front
pages of your catalog.
24. Assuming items of similar appeal, you will always get a higher response rate from a 32-page
catalog than from a 24-page catalog.
25. A new catalog to a catalog customer base will outpull cold lists by 400 to 800 percent.
26. A print ad with a bind-in card will outpull the same ad without a bind-in up to 600 percent.
27. A direct response, direct sale TV commercial of 120-seconds will outpull a 60-second direct
response commercial better than two to one.
28. A TV support commercial will increase response from a newspaper insert up to 50 percent.
29. The closure rate from qualified leads can be two to four times as effective as cold calls.
30. Telephone-generated leads are likely to close four to six times greater than mail-generatedleads.

The Principles of Direct Marketing are More Relevant Than Ever
Times change, economies change, laws change, rules change, everything changes. We go fromBust to Boom and Boom to Bust.
Brands change, consumers change marketing and media channels change. We move from themarketing age to the Digital age. Always moving always changing and regrettably making the
same mistakes and errors as before.
History says we should learn from our mistakes, however as we all know to our detriment here in
ireland, it seems we do not learn. We have seen AIB nearly bring down the economy with theInsurance Corporation of Ireland debacle in the 70s only for the same thing to happen us again,
this time with more banks being involved and the scenario much much worse.
What these two disasters have in common is a reckless neglect of accountability. We allowedBankers run wild without proper checks and balances being implemented, we did not hold
anyone accountable. Accountability did not matter, however it always should.
Now what this got to do with Direct Marketing? Well simply put, one of the main principles and
cornerstones of Direct Marketing as a disclipline is the principle of Control. Control ensures and
enforces accountability.
If we are in control of our targets and budgets we are ensuring accountability. We want action,we want clear propositions, we want value, we want return on investment, we want results. We
want accountability, we demand it. If we demand accountability we nearly always get results.
As Direct Marketers we are in the results business. Our business focus should always be on
making sure our share of the marketing budget is spent in a way that is Targeted andaccountable.
In this current economic climate results matter more than ever. Brands are under such market
share and margin pressure that they can no longer afford to spend money just on warm fluffy
advertising and marketing campaigns. Brands also need results.
Brands can no longer afford to spend huge amounts of money on what was loosely called
Awareness advertising. Awareness advertising is in lots of cases another description of
spending advertising budgets on something that is very hard to monitor and difficult to evaluate,
in others words it lacks accountability.
The concept of awareness advertising is something, that as an experienced and grizzled marketer,
I have always struggled with. You see, awareness is after all an involuntary act, once you
become aware of something it is very difficult to make yourself unaware of it.
So if a brand keeps spending lots of money making people aware of something they are already
aware of, well that seems to me to be a waste of money and why?, lack of proper accountability.If a person is already aware of a brand then surely the brand should be spending money

persuading that person to buy that product or service. Thats where accountability and direct
marketing come in again. Direct marketers use persuasive marketing techniques and strong anddirect calls to action to get those consumers to buy.
In this digital age the principles of direct marketing, namely, Targetting, Interaction, Continuity
and Control are particularly relevant. Digital marketers really need to up their game in the wholearea of targeting. Proper targeting will make the message more relevant and relevancy is the key
driver in getting consumers to engage with a message.
If the message is not targeted it is not relevant. If a brand can develop a targeted and relevant
messaging program for its consumers through the various digital media, it is on its way tobuilding a dialogue with its consumers that becomes anticipated by the consumer. Imagine
consumers waiting in anticipation for brand messages, now that surely is the Holy Grail. And all
this is possible in the digital age through the use of all the various democratised digital media
channels such as Facebook, You Tube, twitter, etc.
But please for Gods sake be relevant. Relevancy comes from proper and relentless targeting anddata analytics. My biggest bug bear right now is all the crap we have to get through digitally in
order to get relevant and engaging messages. Also a lot of Digital marketers forget to plan for
what comes next after they send their message out there into the ether.
There is a big gap in Continuity planning amongst Brands and people using digital media. Theconsequences of using digital as a channel have never really been thought out in great detail,
thence all of the stories we hear about Brands engaging in damage limitation exercises because adigital communication has backfired or has been hijacked by consumers are all too frequent.
This is particularly relevant to App development and creation. Remember once you send that
digital message or device out there you are in fact ceding ownership of that piece.
Consumers will interact and deal with it as they see fit, they will like it, loath it and in some
cases change it, and you know even thats not bad if they have gone to the trouble of engagingwith it. Its all of the consumers who do not engage with our messages we never think about.
Its funny how we never measure the amount of people who never engage with our
communication

INTERNET MARKETING
Strategy
Internet marketing can attract more people to your website, increase customers for your business,and enhance branding of your company and products. If you are just beginning your online marketing
strategy the top 10 list below will get you started on a plan that has worked for many.
1. Start with a web promotion plan and an effective web design and development strategy.2. Get ranked at the top in major search engines, and practice good Search Optimization
Techniques.3. Learn to use Email Marketing Effectively.4. Dominate your marketing niche with affiliate, reseller, and associate programs.5.

Definition:
Internet Marketing is an all-inclusive term for marketing products and/or services online and like
many all-inclusive terms, Internet marketing means different things to different people.
Essentially, though, Internet marketing refers to the strategies that are used to market a product or
service online, marketing strategies that include search engine optimization and search engine
submission, copywriting that encourages site visitors to take action, web site design strategies, online
promotions, reciprocal linking, and email marketing and thats just hitting the highlights.
Online marketers are constantly devising new Internet marketing strategies in the hopes of driving
more traffic to their Web sites and making more sales; witness the increasing use of blogs as
marketing tools for business, for instance. (For more about creating a blog and how to use blogs as an
Internet marketing strategy, see myBlog FAQ For Businesses.)
If youre new to Internet marketing, I recommend focusing on web design and search engine
optimization as a starting point; for most sites, the most traffic still comes from search engines and
directories.
Also Known As: Web marketing, Web site marketing, online marketing.

Aninternet marketing strategyis an important part of the overallmarketing strategyof a business.
This is true whether or not a company is doing business online. It is also true for a small, medium or
large size company but especially true for a small company. Small business marketing for a local
company can include many offline local advertising methods but needs to include a healthy portion of
internet marketing strategies to be successful and maximize sales in today's economy. A small
business that is doing most or all of its business online, needs to embrace an internet marketing
strategy that helps it be seen by online users.
There are five main areas of online marketing that are of interest to a small business. Some of them
are more important to local, offline businesses, while others are more effective with online businesses.
Many businesses engage in all five areas ofsmall business marketingon the Internet.
Search Engine Marketing
This portion of marketing is critical for a small business. It gives you a chance to compete with larger
companies by being visible in search engines. Since people use search engines to find products both
online and locally, it is important that your company place high in search results for words that relate
to what you are selling. Professional Internet marketing firms offer this service under the name of
search engine optimization. They can make sure your site is visible to those looking for your productwhen using a search engine.
Local Search Marketing
This includes websiteoptimization for search results, but in addition, integrates a search engine's
function of maps. This is especially true with Google, where your business can be listed with mapping
and address information, giving a prospective customer what they need to visit your establishment.
Your phone number and website address can also be listed.Customer services will often be available
to help someone decide if they are interested in your product or service.
Content Marketing
This strategy revolves around giving a prospective customer information about your product or
service, as well as information in general. Everyone is trying to sell, but those that can inform are
more likely to get sales. People will attribute a certain level of expertise to a company, and this instills
confidence in the consumer.Content marketingin the past was often done with printed brochures and
guide books, but today, this can be done with articles and other forms of information on a business's
website.
Social Media Marketing
This type of marketing can be tricky. Everyone talks about social media, but the truth is, it can be
difficult for companies tointegrate social mediawith their business. The type of media used, as well
how it is used, is dependent upon the type of business you have. For some companies being in touch
with their customers and giving them breaking news can be an important element of success. Other
business, such as alocal restaurant, have seen success using social media by letting customers knowof the latest specials and new additions to their menu. The most important aspect of social media is to
use it to strengthen your customer base to achieve repeat sales.
Email Marketing
This form a marketing is crucial to a small business online or offline. Essentiallyemail marketingis
about building a list of customers and prospective customers. This list of names and emails are people
