How to use Big Data and Genie in Your Direct Marketing

Built into the Genie platform are some of the efficient and proven marketing tools available.

Accessing these marketing tools starts with identifying your target customers – often using a Saved Search. The Saved Search can come from building a list from any of the Genie databases, working with your own Customer Data, or a combination of both.

The marketing tools are accessible at every Genie subscription level, but more advanced analytics and reporting tools are available in the 360 and Enterprise packages.


Direct Mail Campaigns

Direct Mail is one of the most proven direct marketing techniques for putting your message directly in the hands of your customers or prospects.  Genie’s Direct Mail platform allows you to design, print, and send direct mail campaigns from your computer.

Note: You will be billed directly in the system based on the type of direct mail piece to be printed, the type of postage, and the quantity to be used in order for the campaign to proceed.


Email Marketing Campaigns

  • Targeted Campaigns: Choose from hundreds of firmographic and demographic criteria to reach your specific target market.
  • Quick Turnaround Time: Email campaigns can be put together in a few minutes rather than the days or weeks required for print promotions.
  • Accurate Reporting: Get tracking reports with information on emails sent, delivered, bounced, opened, and more.
  • List of Responders: Get detailed information to follow-up with prospects that opened and clicked your email.
  • Professional Expertise: Genie experts are always available to help you build your list, design your email, ensure delivery, and track results.

Well established as the highest return-on-investment of any of the digital marketing methods, having a relationship with customers and prospects where they open, read, and click through your emails is invaluable. Genie’s email platform allows you to use your own list, a purchased list or a rented list to build, send, and track email campaigns.

Note: You will use Email credits with this tool. Email Credits are tracked and can be purchase from the Summary right sidebar on the Home Dashboard or by contacting your Database Consultant at 877.708.3844.
