The most important component of any
direct marketing customer acquisition program involves identifying
new prospect sources. New customers
represent the lifeblood of direct marketing. While strong creative
enables you to communicate your offer more effectively, maximizing
your targeting efforts produces real growth for your business.
List
brokerage is the core of our business at LDSGroup
and our decades of experience working with B2B and B2C direct marketers
in publishing,
catalogs, financial services, and fundraising provides our clients
with a real competitive edge.
We approach each assignment with three goals in mind:
- Expanding
your existing universe. We accomplish this through research,
strategic list recommendations and taking advantage
of the
data solutions that are available. Virtually all of our major
clients now access large databases through regression modeling.
- Improving
performance within your existing direct mail campaigns. Employing
such techniques as segment analysis, we leverage selection
opportunities
- Reducing your acquisition expenses through creative
pricing strategies that enable our clients to keep a higher
percentage of outside lists
in their mail plans.
All these goals are accomplished through intensive
research. This research is not just limited to lists - clients are
also provided with
critical insight into what their competitors are mailing, and through
ongoing industry surveys, they know how the marketplace in general
is performing in the mail at any point in time. Mailers who work
with
LDSGroup benefit from our vast network of contacts,
built over decades of hard work and our ability to adapt to the changing
direct marketing
landscape.
Our “back office” operation is second to
none in the brokerage business, with experienced personnel handling
the details – the
order placement, the follow up, daily status reports, and the accounting
functions, all of which are crucial elements in a full service list
brokerage operation.
LDSGroup brings the benefit of experience and an unwavering commitment
to the success of our clients, a combination that will continue to
enhance our position as industry leaders.
