List Management
List management is important to the organization on many levels, affecting list rental income potential, exchange relationships and other factors that impact the acquisition program as a whole.
List Rental
Income from this program is an important part of our mission. We need to be able to maximize the income while protecting our clients’ core exchange relationships. We aggressively market our clients’ files through appropriate and responsive channels, to provide ongoing strategies for optimizing list rental revenue by expanding the number of tests and volume of continuations, and to continue researching and testing additional markets where our clients’ list can be used.
List Exchange
This process is critically important, exchanging with our clients’ best performing lists will keep list costs low. This in turn enhances the entire mail program.
An aggressive stance with management creates the best program: strict control of house block out dates and number of uses, offering enhanced selection criteria, test price negotiations and maximizing efficiency on all orders are our goals.
