San Clemente, CA (PRWEB) May 18, 2005 -- AdCracker.com has released its annual Action Report featuring 10 ways marketers are boosting sales, using both simple and creative practices to improve return on investment.
The Action Report is based on a survey of AdCracker.coms 18,000 subscribers and CD users, chiefly marketing and advertising professionals worldwide.
We look for insights, whispered themes in the responses," said Steve McNamara, AdCrackers Creative Director. Then we blend those themes with our own experiences. This years Report, for instance, includes examples from small retailers, regional manufacturers, and multinationals such as Citibank."
The two major themes that emerged from the survey were, one, innovation, and two, a somewhat surprising return to dm basics," said Mr. McNamara.
We found marketing directors looking for symbiotic partners to share costs on joint promotions," according to McNamara. At the same time, respondents talked about the need to execute on fundamentals, with compelling offers and reliable follow-through on sales leads."
The Action Report is written in a clear, How to" style. Recommendations include:
- Budget based on the lifetime value of the customer.
- Define and reflect the brand in direct marketing communications.
