Ad-Hoc Projects
Projects that are customized to unique client needs are considered "Ad-Hoc Projects". If you have an analysis request that does not fit into my typical project framework and requires less work than my typical project offering, the project will be billed at this rate. Projects requiring as much work as the Customer Development project will be billed at the Customer Development project rate.
Hillstrom's QuickScores (Cost = $11,000).
Hillstrom's QuickScores addresses a targeted approach to restoring File Power, Sales, and Profit. Based on a proprietary weighting strategy that evaluates when historical purchases happened and how much was spent (by marketing channel), you will receive the following QuickScores.
- Email QuickScore: A score that you can use for targeting purposes ... each customer ranked from highest to lowest based on the probability of purchasing via an email campaign. You'll know exactly who to target for loyalty programs, for activation programs, for reactivation programs.
- Catalog QuickScore: For catalogers, a score that will tell you who is most likely to purchase solely because of catalog mailings. Historical purchases across channels are weighted appropriately so that you are not wasting one penny of the money your brand allocates to marketing purposes.
- Merchandise QuickScore: Based on weighted historical transactions you will know, by customer, the Primary Merchandise Category and the Secondary Merchandise Category preferred by the customer. Used in combination with the Email QuickScore, you will be able to target the specific merchandise that causes the customer to be most likely to purchase from an Email Marketing campaign.
- Brand QuickScore: An overall ranking of customers from best to worst based on Brand Loyalty.
- Catalog Contact Strategy: For an additional $18,000 I will tell you exactly how many times each customer in your customer file should be mailed, on an annual basis. See if you can find a single vendor who will do this for $29,000.
