After the problem is solved, continued mailings about wireless security are likely to
irritate. Devising a successful exit strategy is much like
determining a successful
formula for content: Know your industry.
8) BEST PRACTICES — KNOW WHAT YOU WANT:
The key to maintaining a set of successful best practices is to know what you want
from them and be prepared to rewrite them as your business needs change.Mullen
suggests starting with a good awareness of what you want your best practices to
achieve. “Identify what you will use them for, the goal of your communications, and
how you’ll define the success of your campaign,” she says. “The
most important
element in any kind of successful email marketing is understanding and defining what
your realistic strategy should be.”
2.3.2 EMAIL MARKETING FREQUENCY
Email marketing frequency is also a very important aspect to look at. According to
Roger Best
, (2005), p.306, once a business has found the right combination of media
to effectively reach target customers, the next question becomes how often the
business needs to expose target customers to its message in order to achieve a
certain level of awareness. Using too few messages may prevent information from
getting through to target customers and will probably
result in low levels of
awareness and comprehension. On the other hand,
too many exposures could
irritate target customers and potentially have an adverse effect on retained
information and perceptions of the ad, product, or company.
An example by Best,
was AFLAC insurance, who a few years ago, had only 13
percent name recognition in the United State and was
looking for an effective
marketing communications campaign to cut through the clutter of mundane insurance
ads and raise brand awareness. The company found what it was looking for and
initially spent $35 million advertising it. The now infamous
AFLAC duck
led to more
sales leads in the first 2 weeks of that year than in the previous 2 years combined,
leading to record revenues. AFLAC's brand-name recognition sky-rocketed to over 90
percent, and revenues grew 30 percent every year the campaign was run. However,
after several years of hearing a duck screaming “AFLAC!” in various situations, many
people were finding it irritating. At some point the positive impact of such repetition
will turn into negative perception of the company.
