How Marketers Can Out-Sell, Out-Promote and Out-Market the Competition and Get
Ahead in a Tough Economy

Despite the dire forecasts, organizations need to ask themselves if smart marketing actually can help them profit from a slowdown in consumer spending. Savvy marketers know that less emphasis on marketing, even in challenging economic times, equals fewer sales. In addition, experience from previous slowdowns shows that too much focus on customer acquisition at the expense of customer retention equals increased churn.

During this virtual seminar, you will learn how to build loyalty through customer relationship management programs, while measuring which of your multichannel programs are generating the biggest returns. Attendees will also receive a free copy of “Marketing Success in an Economic Slowdown.” This whitepaper argues that now is the time for marketers to amp up their efforts, focus in on existing customers, and use science to drive nimble marketing decisions.

You will walk away with:

  • Practical advice on how to move marketing from being thought of as a cost center to being truly valued as a revenue generator
  • Recommendations on how to deal with the changing economic climate and emerge in a stronger, more confident position
  • Knowledge to apply science to marketing to help maximize profit from every marketing dollar spent
  • Strategies to defend your customer base by focusing on creating a positive customer experience
  • An understanding of how analyzing channel response can show the value of any mailing and its affect on internet and in-store sales - allowing for better marketing integration and strategic planning

You’ll also learn:

  • How engaging with customers during a slowdown and how superior customer experience provides the opportunity for sustained competitive advantage.
  • The numbers behind loyalty – you’ll hear real case studies about how increased customer loyalty and greater retention impacts the bottom line.
  • How marketing campaigns can be highly successful through customer-centric, cost- effective tactics.
  • Ways that promotion response analysis enables critical decision making - including where to spend advertising dollars to ensure the biggest impact on sales and profitability.
  • How multichannel response analysis can show the relationships between promotional channels and how accurate analysis of each channel empowers marketers to allocate marketing resources correctly.
