What you can do
some examples from our clients
Identify the 20% most engaged users in your community. Send them an
exclusive email invite to participate in a customer appreciation contest
allowing them to earn extra entries for referrals. These users advocate
your brand and grow the database by 17%. The process is seamlessly
integrated with the MCC from email to referral registration.
Create a recurring weekly newsletter that automatically assembles a
personalized email and pulls content from an external data source
maintained by your writers and designers. Setup the template once and
forget it. (it’s that easy!)
Respond to a user’s registration, clicks, web page views and more resulting
in increased user loyalty and interaction.
Maintain and publish to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages at the click
of a button while tracking your brand’s reputation.

home mom, used to be a school teacher, strong family values, her
kids are her biggest accomplishment in life, born in a small town,

them in-store with special offers and in-store activities

market share as well as generate more revenues from suppliers
Create a marketing database of consumers that we can market special offers

Communications Plan
It is important to stay top of mind with members, but only with relevant and
targeted communications
Use the marketing preferences in the profile of each individual member to
deliver messages to them in the medium of their choice
Create different offers for the different segments based on value
Prepare triggered communications that are always ready, but will only be
deployed to an individual member if they request more information or if they
have taken a particular behaviour (ex. welcome e-mail, kids club e-mail, you’ve
reached 10,000 points e-mail)
Measure the effectiveness and ROI of the various communications channels
throughout the year and optimize the monthly campaigns to maximize ROI
Separate the communications into categories: Offers, alerts, promotional,
notifications.
Manage opt-in and opt-out through a central marketing database
Ensure all communications are personalized and relevant

Promotional Plan
Run monthly promotions to encourage new member acquisition and drive
members in-store
Promotions will reinforce the “small town values” and our “customers are
family” attitude (ie. bring in local teams for a sponsored baseball tournament,
proudest parent contest, best homemade sandwich in town competition, etc.)
1st quarter promotions will be planned in advance and then we will monitor
the success of the various campaigns in order to focus our efforts for future
promotions
Promotions will be pre-promoted through e-mail and the web site to
community members
All data collected on consumers through the promotions will be aggregated
together under their profile for better segmentation and targeting
Members will be scored based on their level of participation over the year in
order to identify our most active and loyal customers
Every promotion will have a tie into the web site in order to grow the
database and get more information on existing members
