What is database marketing?
Database Marketing is the gathering and storing of specific information about your prospects or customers.
This information is usually stored in a database program on your computer.
You would then use the information to market and advertise to them.
It can save you time and money because you can target your promotional efforts to your best prospects or customers.
The Types Of Information To Collect
The information will vary depending on the product or service you're selling. If you're selling a product that costs $2 you wouldn't collect information about their yearly income. If you're selling web space you wouldn't collect information about what type of books they read. The basic information you need would be all their contact information, purchase history, and birthday. You will need to decide what other information would benefit your business.
How To Collect This Information Online
It's pretty easy to collect this information online but the hard part is getting people to give it you. The best way to collect this information is to give them something FREE in return. Ask them to fill out an e-mail survey before subscribing to your free e-zine. Tell everyone who visits your web site they will get a free e-book when they fill out your online questionnaire form. Ask them this information before they sign up for a free contest at your web site. Sometimes you have to give a little something to get a little information online.
Beneficial Uses For Your Database Find out your customers purchasing habits. Use the information to improve the design of your web site. Use it to write all your advertising material more persuasively.
