Good afternoon! Pieter van den Busken Advisory Chairman
RCD & Partners Milano Italia
Why InterDirect? • Local DM professionals with access to the International DM world.
• To exchange the latest, international top level DM knowledge and developments. • To exchange DM business from country to country.
What are we talking about today? • DM statistics in the Netherlands • Trends and developments in international direct marketing. • Award winning campaigns from the Netherlands • The oldest and most successful Direct marketing campaign ever.
• What are the latest trends and developments in international DM?
•Increase of multichannel methods, media and techniques. (Direct Mail, Direct E-mail, Web, Mobile communications, Telemarketing, etc.) •Strong increase of e-marketing communications (Direct E-mail, Mobile communications, etc.) •The use of DM in CRM: from acquisition of new customers to keeping the customers close to the company, brand and product.
The big question: How to use all this new and old opportunities in the right balance to get the best results?
The problem: The lack of experiences and knowledge at both the agency's and client's side.
The solution: • Training of DM people. • Exchange of knowledge/experience on international level. • Test,test,test… and share the results.
Business is getting more international than ever. DM campaigns cross borders. .
Big companies are becoming global players. 2. More and more brands and products are developed for international markets. The “global” type of consumer is growing fast. Marketing and communication activities are rolled out in more markets, or at the same time, or one after the other. Marketing consultants and suppliers have to follow these developments at the client’s side. Including Direct Marketing agencies. But how?
By knowing their own market perfectly AND have access to DM professionals in other markets. Act local AND act global.
