In The Customer Loyalty Solution, database marketing pioneer Arthur Hughes reports that the problem wasn't in the programs, but generally in the antiquated technologies and thinking used to drive those programs. He combines current research with case studies from leading companies such as FedEx, StrideRite, Cendant, and Cingular to reveal how marketers can benchmark market-proven programs to successfully:
-- Track customer activity
-- Build enduring loyalty programs
-- Treat customer communication as a profit center

New technologies like the Web have brought unprecedented change to databasemarketing. But some things never change. Successful marketers have learned that to understand their customers they must still think like their customers, who continue to ignore one-time discounts to ask, "Why would I want to be that company's customer? What's in it for me?"
"The Customer Loyalty Solution "goes straight to the source, revealing how marketers today are leveraging their database marketing programs to identify and attract the most profitable new customers, increase current customer retention and repurchase, and identify and reward their most loyal and profitable customers. More than 40 detailed case studies and dozens of examples reveal success stories includingVerizon's "best in class" datamart that realized a 1681 percent return on marketing investment Isuzu's database project that targeted only their best prospects--and cut industry-standard per-unit sales costs in half "Weekly Standard"'s variable headline strategy that increased direct mail response rates by nearly 25 percent
Author and database marketing pioneer Arthur Hughes doesn't hide behind incomprehensible formulas and impossible-to-navigate layouts. Each easy-to-follow chapter clearly addresses and explains a different piece of the database-marketing puzzle. Case studies are clearly marked and detail what went right--or wrong. Chapter-ending synopses summarize the lessons to be learned in each chapter and clearly review what worked and what didn't. These features and others combine with innovative charts and quizzes to ensure hands-on understanding of material covered and make the book a timely, practical guide.
"The Customer Loyalty Solution "reveals how database marketing and customer relationshipmanagement initiatives are making a difference, today, for the world's leading marketers. It provides you with step-by-step techniques for benchmarking their efforts to develop intelligent strategies of your own, understanding how and why they work, and monitoring their results to continually adjust and modify for changing market conditions. The result will be far stronger customer loyalty, more consistent repeat sales, and a database-marketing program that is enjoyable and successful--for both you and your most profitable customers.
