Case Study 1 | Case Study 2 | Case Study 3

• Problem: A leading baby specialty chain lacked the database marketing capabilities to target and market to specific customers and customer groups.
• Goal: Communicate directly with specific customers and customer groups of expectant mothers. Replace costly mass media (television, newspaper) with more efficient channels.
• Solution: As Director of Marketing, David built an internal database of targeted customers and launched a successful direct marketing campaign by taking the following steps:
• Collecting individual customer data through a baby gift registry in the stores and online.
• Developing a series of direct mail and email initiatives that welcomed the new registrants to the program and provided valuable information and tips to the expectant mothers, along with purchase incentives.
• Partnering with a national database marketing firm to deliver timely information and promotions once during each trimester.
• End Result: This initiative positioned the company as an “expert,” significantly reduced television expenses, and drove $3.5 million of incremental sales in the first year.
