(At the risk of confusing things, I’m going to refer to marketers with a directcustomer relationship as “relationship marketers”. This seems the least painful alternative—“customermarketers” is too broad and “directmarketers” means something else.)
A directmarketing client pointed out to me recently that it can be very difficult to set up tests in operational systems. Directmarketers have always prided themselves on their ability to test what they do, in pointed contrast to the barely measurable results of conventional media. There is no small irony in this.
and, while some carriers are taking precautions to protect their customers from text message advertising, so far neither the directmarketing industry nor the federal government has been able to control this form of spam. Wireless text messaging is widely used in the U.S.;
Now they had to find a way to measure the impact of those mass media, both so they could continue to justify buying it (because, deep down, they knew it was providing some value) and so they could include it when they analyze return on all marketing investments. Both of these factors lead in the same direction.
