Fully-outsourced IT Services
DataLynx Online has been successfully motivating potential customers to become patrons of participating locations for over a decade using our Target Marketing program:
- DataLynx Intelligence - pinpoints the neighborhoods around your stores that are most likely to be motivated to patron your store.
- Personalization - Postcard or E-mail (or both) communications are highly personalized to the recipient and sent directly to potential customers who have not yet been a customer of your store. This technique is designed to give the potential customer more of a feeling of a neighborhood service shop that they may want to try out for more of a long-term relationship. That is the key difference that separates our Target Marketing program from shared mail and bulk mail programs and our fact-based results support this.
Market Analysis
Using DataLynx Online, your Marketing Advisor analyzes the areas around each of your stores, quickly determining the highest probability areas for motivating non-customers to patronize your shop for the first time based on market penetration and customer behavior in the target areas.
Reputation Management
Providing an easy way to engage your existing customers to rate their recent experience at your store and write a review may help build your brand and motivate potential customers to patronize your store.
Your DataLynx Online CRM subscription may be extended to seamlessly motivate recent customers to basically market your brand.
Experience indicates that most online reviews are primarily motivated by a bad experience. Our automated process motivates the majority of your customers who, if you’ve been running your business right, have had a positive experience at your store.
Using a reputable, non-biased “Reputation Management” provider, DataLynx Online provides a venue for customers to rate and review your products and services. In addition, our facility provides your management staff the capability to respond and request a patent-pending “re-score” from your customer if applicable.
