As mailing lists started to develop list companies started to be
established to manage and sell mailing lists to other marketers.
The first type of lists on the market were compiled lists,
consumer/business mail order, and a few publishers released
expire names only.
Very little segmentation.
Compiled lists had the most segments with company size
and title. Response lists were limited:
Active Buyers Magazine Expires Geographic

In the 70’s and 80’s technology was advancing
fast. Marketers started to capture and flag more
transactional data.
Lists had more selections: Hotline mail order buyer Average purchase dollar Product category New subscribers Renewals Source (DM Agent vs. Direct to Publisher)
Merge/purge technology was created.
SRDS was the only book that listed “lists of lists”.

we started to see a huge transition within the list
business.
Lists and Databases were getting more savvy,
new programs came to market to help marketers
maximize the value of their databases both for
internal and external purposes.
3rd party demographic and lifestyle data was
being appended.
Internal data card systems were being created to
track all new lists coming on the market.
In the mid-80’s MIN was established, the first
integrated data card system.

Having access to a lot more data, marketers can maximize the value of their own database for internal and external use.
If the manager and owner utilize this data and market it appropriately, mailers are able to slice and dice a file to reach the most targeted audience.
Data being appended: Lifestyle and Demographic data Ethnic & Religion Data Political Data Co-op data (purchasing data at the SKU levels)

SMS = Short Message Service has the highest deliverability of any marketing medium.
Texting complements other types of campaigns and can be used effectively in conjunction with direct mail, telemarketing email or event marketing.
SMS users run campaigns that will drive consumers to their store, website or a call to number or to respond to an offer.
SMS is successful when using a financial aspect to the offer and an emotional appeal.
Over 60% of text messages will be seen with response rates averaging 10%.
Mobile Media
![Page 24: Multi-Channel List Media Presented by: Cyndi Lee VP of Business Development RMI Direct Marketing clee@rmidirect.com4/28/09](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649db05503460f94a9ec39/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
List owners are utilizing large databases of text numbers where they can do a match and create a Mobile List for rental. The good lists are double opted in.
The list owner or provider will deploy the text message.
Mobile files are priced at $225/M to $300/M.
The Mobile text lists coming to market have two forms of messaging
SMTP = Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a process where software is used instead of a mobile aggregator. Messages are not pushed through an aggregator dealing with the cell carriers. Phone is in essence receiving an email, it’s a one way system/no way to respond. These lists are generally not double opted in which is not in keeping with MMA guidelines. Because this pushes from server to server there is no way to track deliverability, stats show that 12 – 20% of the data deployed can be dropped or fail.
SMPP = Short Message Peer to Peer is a process where a mobile aggregator is used, messages are cleared though the cell co’s and the message is pushed directly with the cell carriers. Lists are required to be double opt in, this is a two way method of communication so a response mechanism can be implemented. Carriers can report on deliverability and is standard within the reporting. Well over 99% of the messages pushed are delivered. This is the pure form of SMS.

Marketers are adding a texting
component to DM or Print ads to
motivate the audience to get personally
involved.
They can reach potential customers
wherever they are with a mobile call to
action.
They use a unique keyword and code
to traditional advertisements. The
consumer then texts in the unique
keyword and code and within seconds
receives a reply text message with links
to pictures and offer information.
