Marketing Tip
Targets on your communication campaign go by different
names today: followers on Twitter, “friends” on Facebook,
prospects on sales lists, etc. The bottom line is that businesses
need to build a database to establish and continue a conversa-
tion with their existing clients and prospects. Building a good
database takes time and effort; the best database is one that
develops organically where contacts know your company.
However, your marketing strategy might be very aggressive
and you need a database now. In such situation, buying con-
tacts is the best solution and there are reputable companies
that will supply you with valuable information.
One caveat is that you need to know what you are looking for:
describe your perfect customer in terms of age, income, sex,
family status, geography, and buying behavior on the consum-
er market. Sales figures, number of employees, and geography
are some considerations for the business-to-business market.
Segmenting your database is part of the process to make it
more useful. Your existing customers should receive a differ-
ent message than your prospects. Entrepreneurs, often times,
concentrate on new sales and I get it, a business needs to have
fresh customers to thrive. However, remember the Pareto
Principle: 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers.
I have seen this rule first-hand on my years of experience and
it stays pretty close to 80/20 over different industries. Going
after new business is great as long as you are taking good care
of your top 20%.
Your business is unique and so will be your communication
campaign. Call us at (520)515-5478 or e-mail us at nor-
tonr@cochise.edu to set-up an appointment to develop strate-
gies to maximize your existing database or work with you to
develop a database building plan.
