While marketers are under increasing pressure to grow their databases and get their message out to as many people as possible, the most important factor however should be that e-mails are sent out timely, relevant and, above all, wanted. In the current climate, companies can not afford to let potential sales drop because of an ineffective e-mail marketing strategy which serves little purpose.   Danversbank ups loyalty rewards to encourage debit card use Lauren Bell Danversbank, a Massachusetts-area savings bank with 17 branches, has added to its three-year-old customer loyalty program with new software from Metavante Corporation. The goal is to encourage use of the Danversbank debit card and other Danversbank offerings.   Chase debuts loyalty card Dianna Dilworth Chase Card Services has released a new rewards card that targets affluent consumers called the Chase Sapphire, and is running an integrated marketing campaign that includes online ads, TV, print, events, PR and direct mail to promote it.   Column The imperative of data integration Manu Mathew, CEO of Visual IQ Marketing departments that perform their work in separate silos are often unsure of how one channel impacts another and may be missing major opportunities to improve campaigns based on actual results and integrated forecasting. Thanks to improved analytics and more affordable marketing intelligence solutions, the silo approach is no longer necessary. Exchanging customer data across channels and marketing departments is now available and essential to all marketers, their campaigns and most importantly, the bottom line.   DMNews' Essential Guide to Lists, Database Marketing & Data Services The 2009 DMNews Essential Guide to Lists & Databases is now online The 2009 DMNews Essential Guide to Lists and Databases is now available as a PDF file.
