In Their Own Words
The goal of DM News’ Essential Guide to Interactive Marketing Technology is to give readers a glimpse of some tools in use today for customer acquisition or retention. And what better way than to let marketers speak up for the technology they are using.
In the next few pages you will find executives from name brands like 1-800-Flowers.com, NASCAR, DSW Shoes, Day-Timers, Forbes.com, JetBlue Airways, uBid.com, MasterCard’s TowerGroup, Hachette Filipacchi and USAToday.com. They discuss software and tools in use for e-mail, search, Web content management, research, promotions, ad delivery, demand generation, data cleansing, mobile and analytics.
It is rare to find such an assemblage discuss the online tools they are using, why and how it helped them. They were kind enough to share the knowledge to benefit the entire industry. We thank them and their service providers for such invaluable access.
Here’s how these companies got into the guide. This publication in the winter invited entries at www.dmnews.com and in our newsletter. Those who responded promising access to name-brand clients made the cut. We hope to widen the list next year and include your company, too.
DM News is not endorsing any technology featured on these pages over others available on the market. Those featured here are a sampling of the best the interactive advertising and marketing industry has to offer. Do enjoy the read.
