Six Good Reasons To Make Use of Predictive Analytics
This is the data that helps you see into the future.

Volumes of data continue to grow. Customers can be reached (and turned away) through a continuously growing range of channels. “Blast” marketing continues to fall out of favor due to the lack of offer relevancy.

The Solution: The growth of predictive analytics helps to address all of those needs, while the technology is keeping pace with demand. There is a natural progression of more adopters, lower costs of resources, and more momentum to reach out. Whether it’s gaining better understanding of changing market dynamics, or zeroing in on the best next message for every customer in your database, predictive analytics can deliver. If you’ve been entertaining the idea of predictive analytics, here are six good reasons to get on board:

1. Make better use of collected data. When you understand how customers are likely to react in real-time, you can start making more powerful strategic shifts in spending and messaging. Don’t run from high data volume. Gather it. Focus on quality, and let predictive analytics dive deeper to help model the ongoing customers responses to your marketing activity.

2. Evolve beyond RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) models. RFM models use a lightweight predictive component since they focus on messages which will move customers from their current standing up to the most recent purchase category. The most prominent limitation is that the data is always just a step behind, so they are taking data from only the past.

Predictive analytics can do much more. Instead of only focusing on the offers that have generated past sales, you can model the behaviors and exposures which will keep customers engaged and keep them from becoming inactive.

3. You will be able to understand customers better than your competitors.  According to Forbes Insights data, only 15 percent of marketers use multi-channel/multi-touch attribution data in their predictive models, or approximately one-third as many as use website data and

Magnet Punchout Postcard

Custom printed magnet postcards are affordable, highly effective marketing tools. Why?

Magnets have proven to be a good value with top effectiveness because so few people ever throw them away.

This ‘permanency’ keeps your name and promotional message prominently displayed in the home or office for a very long time.

A good majority of people have promotional magnets placed on their refrigerators, file cabinets, tool boxes, etc… Do you?

Magnets are functional! They come in handy to hang up the grocery list or to-do notes. Any consumer facing business – from an auto repair shop, to a heating and air company, to a pizza parlor – is well suited for promotional magnets because the contact info remains readily available.

Businesses tend to have associates who will keep magnets from vendors and service providers stuck on metal desks and file cabinets for quick reference. Some other ideas include calendars, which are commonly incorporated into promotional magnets because they provide information that is referred to frequently. The possibilities are endless, and the returns are limitless!

How to Create the Best HVAC Direct Mail Campaign

The heat is on and it’s the perfect time to execute an effective HVAC direct mail campaign. Whether you want to sell more units or increase the number of maintenance clients you have today; HVAC postcards are proven to be effective for generating new business for HVAC contractors for over 30 years.  With the heat starting to hit its high, consumers are concerned about being without their AC, and are more likely to spend money on new units, a tune-up or start a regular maintenance program to lessen the worry!

Your company may be busy right NOW – and businesses often reduce advertising in their busy season – however; it makes more sense to be in front of prospective customers when they are most likely to be looking for your product and service – TODAY.

Choosing Your HVAC Direct Mail List

For New Customer Acquisition You Should Target:

1. Homeowners in specific neighborhoods based on your current or targeted service areas.
2. Elimination of non-homestead homes, town homes and apartments.
3. Specifics: you can add household income to ensure potential customers can afford to purchase your products and services.

The Key Elements of the Design of Your Postcard: 

• Clear layout and design – Less is more
• Bold Headline & Subheads that lead to text
• Graphics that support your message
• Color that makes the ad really stand out
• Your company address, phone, website, email & logo
• STRONG OFFER – see below

Choose a STRONG Special Offer

1. Aggressive offers are going to drive a better response.
2. Have a strong call to action, for example: CALL TODAY TO RECEIVE 50% OFF!
3. Clients need a reason to switch their business to you to eliminate the worry of change!

Mail Out Consistently

• The key to all advertising is consistency – and direct mail is no different.
• Mailing monthly at a minimum will deliver the best response.

What is G7 Compliance?

What is G7 Compliance?

G7 Compliance is a status that doesn’t come easy. In the United States there are only 1027* Master Printers listed on the IDEAlliance® website alone, in Florida PrimeNet is one of only 23* of those printers. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Having this compliance documentation includes us in an elite group of printers which are integral to clients in need of very fine-tuned printing specifications. It allows for growth that many printers will not be able to accommodate, which is why this compliance is sought out by commercial business to protect brand integrity.

G7 Simplified:

G7 is simply defined as “a repeatable process across all output devices”.

All of the technical explanations are great for those working in the printing industry, but how shall we explain G7 to our busy clients who may not have the time to learn all of the technical printing ’jargon’?

To put it simply, G7 can be compared, in layman’s terms, to hitting a bullseye on a dartboard. As long as a press can stay within that circle, it’s considered a PASS. If there is more than one press, and one of them hits that target dead center, that would be excellent. If both hit it dead center, that would be next to impossible.

So, the next best thing is to try to hit as close to that center as possible, with every press, every time. Every output device behaves a little differently due to factors like climate, consumables, press age, condition and many other challenging factors. IDEAlliance recognizes this and has done extensive testing to
