To successfully reach, connect with, and convert customers, it is imperative that marketers think outside the box. They must incorporate new, affordable first party data sources in order to attract new customers while also building long-lasting relationships with existing customers. Often overlooked, first party mail data collection and integration opportunities can be extremely useful in providing marketers with richer customer profiles in omnichannel marketing campaigns. This presentation speaks to this monumental shift, the importance of first party data, what should be collected, and how first party data can best support your marketing objectives and business overall.
