3 Dialog Marketing
  - If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
  - If they don’t respond to your direct mail piece,
    did it make a sound?
  - Marketing should be a conversation starter.
  - Marketing should not be a lecture.
  - Do you agree?




  Actually, we have 2 coffee makers and a microwave

6 Measuring Success
  - Revenue is usually number one on the list.
  - Calls-to-action are a close second.
  - There are other marketing metrics used to guage success,
    like hit rate, click-throughs, returns, and time.
  - Each client has specific goals, so we tailor each
    campaign to maximize the impact.
  - We’re winners. When was the last time a direct
    mail campaign won you $3,000,000 in revenue?


  Did we tell you we have a money tree?
  Email teamup@wefightboredom.com for a picture of it.
  Remember to put “Tree” in your subject line.

7 Target Audience
  - Do you know what your customer looks like?
  - Wish more people knew about you?
  - Do you have a list of those people we can target?
  - Your audience is not stupid, but they are busy.
  - We give your marketing a Human Touch.




  Yep, we just worked a Bruce Springsteen
  reference into this slide deck. After all, “I just
  want someone to talk to”.

8 Logistics
  - Outsourced creative is nothing new.
  - Web-based project management is newer.
  - Personalized Flash websites are newest.
  - We take you from conception to launch and beyond.
  - We manage the logistics.




  We really dig Basecamp and Highrise. If you work
  with us you’ll get to work in Basecamp, but you’ll
  end up in Highrise. Ask us why.
