Maintain

the  database you  already have

• Target your communications

– get the right 

communication to the right customer

including polls

• Constantly monitor and adjust

the volume of 

communications your database receives.

High volume of emails is not necessarily bad/ a low 

volume of emails is not necessarily good

• Invest

in reactivation and reengagement initiatives

• Let your database guide you

will keep them active and engaged with the offers they 

receive.
