Hurdles to “Relevance”

One of the keys to succeeding in cross media marketing is “relevance.” If you religiously follow marketing blogs and news sites, you have probably read more than enough articles and posting about “relevance.” If not, here are some postings/articles you should consider reading:

Relevance in Marketing - Rohit Bhargava @ WebProNews
The Importance of Marketing Relevance - William King @ Content Caboodle
B2B Marketing in 2010: Focus on Three Key Issues - Mark Eardley @ The Long Hello
Email marketing content ‘to become more relevant’ - @ DirectNews
This is Getting Personal… - Michael Fleischner @ The Marketing Blog

The thing is, most of them only review the importance of relevance, and very few actually explore the logistics of implementation. I recently came across an article on DM News that focuses on the three biggest hurdles to achieving relevance in marketing…

Debate revived: Html vs text email

The Great Email Debate

So often marketers take an either-or approach to marketing channels. Either email or direct mail, either PPC or traditional print ads, either Html or text, either facebook or youtube, you get the point.

The innovative marketers (like yourself), know marketing channels work best when they’re integrated.

The guys at Marketing Sherpa recently posted a campaign case study for a minor league baseball team that were trying to sell tickets to a playoff game. They used email marketing first with a text email message and then with a well-designed HTML message.

They got a tremendous 56.9% conversion from those who visited the static landing page.

The lesson - don’t be fixed on what you think works. Explore new marketing channels and new ways of using old marketing channels to get phenomenal campaign success.

Do you have a strategy for using Personalized URLs?

Personalized URLs are not a made-to-order magic trick you can buy from the store and immediately get results for your business.

Like all marketing tools you use, personalized URLs require you to:

  • think about a strategy for reaching your different customer segments
  • plan on integrating your ‘magic’ personalized URLs with current media
  • make a conscious effort to follow through on each message you send.
