Drilling Down Newsletter Welcome

Thanks for your interest in the Drilling Down newsletter, delivered by e-mail once a month.  Designing and executing high-ROI marketing strategies using customer data is the focus of each issue.

The issues covered include predicting future customer valuation, identifying the likelihood of customers to respond to a promotion, determining the appropriate offer, measuring and managing customer retention, and reducing customer defection. 

A secondary theme is driving higher revenues or visits from current customers while decreasing promotional expenses; this is the outcome of addressing the issues in the paragraph right above this one.

We'll go beyond using simple customer demographics and start looking at customer behavior, the most reliable technique for predicting future customer behavior.  Customer retention and loyalty will be the focus, and driving higher revenues or visits from current customers while decreasing promotional expenses will be the approach we use.

The newsletter will provide background and descriptions of techniques usable by both small business and enterprise class CRM systems - it's the thought process that's important, not whether you use a spreadsheet or a rules-based CRM engine to manage your customer data.

I'll also be including questions and answers on customer retention, loyalty, and promotional techniques from Drilling Down web site visitors, newsletter subscribers,  and readers of the Drilling Down book, as well as links to important articles on retention marketing written elsewhere.  So get more value out of your subscription and increase the value for others by asking some questions!

Drilling Down Newsletter List Management

Click for: Unsubscribe e-mail address
      
and any message sent to that address will unsubscribe the sending email address.  Once unsubscribed, you will not receive any more e-mail from Drilling Down unless you subscribe again.

Click for:  Subscribe e-mail address
    
and any message sent to that address will start the subscription process.  Once subscribed, you will receive all messages posted to this list.
________________________________________________________

Click for: Change of address e-mail address
        
and any message must include your old e-mail address in the "Subject:" line.

For example:

        From: joe@new-address.com
        To: change address e-mail address above
        Subject: joe@old-address.com

changes your subscription from your old address when sent from your new one.

If you know your new e-mail address before it has been activated, you can also change your address to the new one on this list with one command:

        From: joe@old-address.com
        To: change address e-mail address above
        Subject: joe@new-address.com

An acknowledgement message will be sent to both the new and old e-mail address, when the change process has been completed.
______________________________________________________

Click for: Vacation e-mail address
               
This address will toggles your subscription on and off.  The first message to the address migrates you to a special vacation list, and you will not receive any more messages while on the vacation list.

A second email message to the address will toggle you back on the distribution list, and you will start receiving your messages again.

The vacation command is useful since it does not force you to go through an unsubscribe, subscribe, and confirmation process to temporarily suspend your subscription.
