The Biggest Fear of a Marketer

The biggest fear of any marketer is:

  1. Not being able to reach the right contacts?
  2. Procuring a crass marketing database?
  3. Or is it simply not reaching the minimum targets (leads/sales/etc)?

It is simply not being able to reach minimum targets their bosses set for them.

It doesn't really matter whether you make it with a marketing database or not. What matters is whether you make it.

But what makes marketing databases important? It is efficiency and ease. You can do more in lesser time. That is only if your database is of top quality. And how do you know that? Well, the only way to know about a database is to test it. Perhaps stress test it!

So what is your homework today?

  1. To get a free sample data set for whatever business purpose you have
  2. To stress test it by contacting the given contacts (for survey only)
  3. And if you care, provide a feedback - on if it made you happy, angry or excited (in either way)

Hospitality Marketers and their Data

Coming to realize the concerns of a B2C marketer, data companies like us realize the complexity of tracking targets. Favorite cuisines, ambiance preferences, locations, and work and travel behavior... wooh! that's a lot of information when it is not a business concern, and individuals only. However, we are talking about something a little more penetrative, realizing that it could be controversial at the same time. Do you remember restaurants requesting your information at the end of a meal, and you just end up leaving your office name or address at the bottom of the review. That leaves the scope for a hospitality or restaurant marketer to find out information about your colleagues - at least the ones who share a similar taste in food. We embarked upon some brainstorming last week to figure out if the complexity could be lowered at some level in the process of data-driven marketing in the B2C sphere. While collecting information from prospects and customers, restaurant and ho...
