As Janet sat at the little desk in her hotel room and Patrick reclined on the floor, a sort of vision of our system came to us. Imagine the scene: Outside, snow was whipping across the landscape. Inside, the place looked like a college dorm at exam time with papers, overhead transparencies, and empty coffee cups scattered about. We were rumpled, roadwhipped, and anxious. Then our previously disjointed lecture about databases, direct marketing, and mass customization distilled itself into a logical, self-contained, step-by-step procedure for managing prospects, customers, relationships, and markets.

One of the most potent features of the Direct Impact Growth System is in the application of what you have learned. We’ll discuss how you’ll use the measured results of your marketing efforts as feedback to modify the very beginning steps of your ongoing marketing efforts. This applied learning can help you identify changes that need to be made to your Market Development System or your Market Attack Plan. This incremental intelligence may cause you to change the contents of your database, the structure of your sales organization, or refine the level of reporting you need.

Direct marketing allows you to control the image and the message you present to customers all the way down to the individual customer. Direct marketing has an important role to play in branding and positioning companies and products and delivering messages that build relationships that allow you to extract maximum value. ❀ Direct marketing’s response mechanism creates the most powerful tool in the direct marketer’s kit: a database of information about customers and their specific responses to individual marketing initiatives.
