Some Definitions of Database Marketing
AMA definition:
An approach by which computer database technologies are harnessed
to design, create, and manage customer data lists containing information
about each customer's characteristics and history of interactions with
the company. The lists are used as needed for locating, selecting,
targeting, servicing, and establishing relationships with customers
in order to enhance the long-term value of these customers
to the company.
Another definition
Database marketing is a systematic approach to the gathering,
consolidation, and processing of consumer data (both for customers
and potential customers) that is maintained in a company's databases.
Although databases have been used for customer data in traditional
marketing for a long time, the database marketing approach is
differentiated by the fact that much more consumer data is maintained,
and that the data is processed and used in new and more
sophisticated ways.
Some Definitions of Database Marketing
Third definition:
Database marketing is a way of organizing a company’s customer and
prospect data so that it can be used more effectively in a direct marketing
effort. It is a way of organizing the whole marketing process.
Database marketing allows you to choose what to market to whom and
when based on the sum total of your knowledge and experience
with a customer or prospect.
Fourth definition
Database marketing is the technique of gathering all the information
available about your customer, leads, and prospects into a central
database and using that information to drive all your marketing efforts.
The information is stored in a marketing database and can be used
at both the strategic and tactical levels to drive targeted marketing efforts.
