And definitely not enough smart marketers, especially outside of catalog businesses. Many of the concepts you talk about in your blog do not exist outside of direct businesses, even though they are highly applicable. Many of todays digital marketers do not have an understanding of the base concepts that are second nature to the LE, EB, Nordtrom et al experience. I like the success pyramid. And I agree on chemistry. LE in mid 90s had it. The most successful organizations I have been a part of had it.Steve Mintznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-25013440361738348462013-01-24T15:56:33.768-08:002013-01-24T15:56:33.768-08:00One thing you said really struck a chord for me: &...One thing you said really struck a chord for me: "Technology changes- underlying behavior rarely changes."<br /><br />This is why marketers need to resist the new, shiny, thing that dissipates resources to unproductive activities.<br /><br />Human nature leans two ways. We either resist change or we throw out the baby with the water.

Small companies get 50% from list selection.<br /><br />In the long term, creative is a major differentiator. Old school catalogers can tell you this - they've crafted a creative style that, when e-commerce pulled customers away, caused what is now a 55+ audience to stand firm. And now, catalogers are largely on an island, having the customer they wanted, unable to acquire the customer representing the future. Creative via channel preference caused this. In the long-term, it completely shapes the composition of the customer file ... 10% per year across 10 years yields a completely unique customer file.MineThatDatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014200122021988374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-48002104866668452962013-01-24T06:39:29.710-08:002013-01-24T06:39:29.710-08:00Old school cataloging used to say that sales are &...Old school cataloging used to say that sales are "80% merch, 10% creative, 10% list selection". This seems to say that creative is bigger than that. Do you agree? Jay Allenhttp://www.teavana.comnoreply@blogger.com
