cross media marketing campaigns Whenever you decide to begin a new marketing campaign, the end result should provide a significant return on the investment, or ROI. That’s why it’s important for businesses to take the time to evaluate the best strategy moving forward, one that will get results. Cross-media marketing campaigns could be just what you’re looking for — they get results and they don’t discriminate based on industry.

Hitting your target consumer across media channels is imperative in today’s technology-driven society. That’s because consumers use a whole host of technologies — along with traditional forms — to find information about a product or service, and to buy.  Ignoring any of these channels — email marketing or postal mailings for instance — can cost you valuable access to your target market.

And the results of cross-media marketing campaigns prove their value:

  • Companies that use multiple marketing channels get a better response from consumers.
  • Studies have shown that cross-media marketing campaigns can generate a huge ROI, often higher than 10 to 1.
  • For example, a customer satisfaction survey can produce significant ROI. Halo Programs’ surveys generally garner a 25 percent or higher response rate.
  • A cross-media strategy allows you to communicate using a unique combination of materials to touch a variety of consumers, and according to how they use technology.

Cross-media marketing campaigns give you the ultimate in flexibility and allow you to cover the essential bases in lead-generating activities and customer retention. Some of the creative ways that businesses can implement cross-media tools:

  • High-quality digital print marketing mailings including QR Codes pointing to your website or customized landing page.
  • Email marketing programs systematically scheduled around the company branded mailings you are sending to your customer database.
  • Company branded, personalized programs, combining printed Greeting Cards and E-card communications.
  • Personalized emails sent to customers alerting them you are sending them a special offer in the mail.
  • Postal mailings, which include postage-paid replies, and email programs, which include online reply forms, that are designed to generate leads, up-sell and cross-sell your products and generate referrals.
