Take a moment and step with me through the looking glass, where up is down, left is right, and pastrami is . . . um . . . something else. Now, in this world, marketing is not about doing your best to efficiently and cost-effectively spread the word about your products or services, but annoying people and wasting a lot of time and money doing so.
Let's say this mirror-mirror marketing director decides to go with email prospecting. No one in this world understands the choice at first. Opt in e mail marketing is effective at reaching large numbers of people quickly and if it's done well it can have a great ROI.
But don't worry, this email director doesn't know what he's doing. Rather than choosing a product that can reach the target audience, he goes for one that has a failure rate of about 40%. Only six out of ten emails will actually reach the people on the list. It's a good start in his mind.
Add to that a list that wasn't custom built for them and the fact they buy email addresses for one mailing at a time, and you've got a winner! At least in the Topsy-turvy world. In the real world, all they've done is crippled their bulk e mail marketing efforts. Sadly, a lot of people are still following these questionable practices.
Why? Because they don't know that there is a better option in D&B Professional Contacts. With the fact that it's two to three times more accurate than most available email lists, it's customized for your particular audience, and you get to use it for an entire year and as many mailings as you like, it's a pretty solid choice.
