O que é marketing direto

Summary

This video explains how effective direct marketing differentiates strategies for retaining existing customers from acquiring new ones. It emphasizes segmenting your database into three groups: loyal customers, inactive customers, and potential customers. For loyal customers, the focus is on maintaining engagement and increasing average spending through exclusive promotions. Inactive customers require understanding the reasons behind their disengagement and implementing reconquest actions, preferably via personal contact. Potential customers should be approached with a consistent, unique brand concept—such as trust for an insurance company or quality for a restaurant—to guide all sales efforts and maximize conversion.
