In today’s highly competitive environment, the growing emphasis on targeted marketing programs has placed increased pressure on organizations to build or overhaul their database systems, ramp up their dependence on customer understanding and fine-tune their marketing messages to customers and prospects. For many marketers, questions abound as to what data to use, the differences in data, the best uses of data, the types of database systems, and current practices in database marketing.

How well is your company utilizing its information to drive business and gain customer share? Have you developed a “state of the art” system for customer knowledge? Is your company taking full advantage of what is now available to improve customer acquisition and retention?

In a few short years, the rapid advances in technology and data collection have transformed marketing. This seminar will give you clarity in the myriad world of data providers, database maintenance, data systems and database applications.

You Will Learn

  • The different types of data sources—what they are, where to get them and how they vary
  • How to identify good sources for internal data—from across your entire organization
  • Data maintenance practices and schedules—what is involved in keeping data current
  • File structures and system platforms—why and when to use different DB structures
  • Internal or external databases—how to make the right decision for your organization
  • To define a roadmap for database marketing

What Participants Said

Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 87% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:


"This seminar has a very deep level of detail which is frequently lacking in seminars. The advice offered is actionable and understandable and not too high level."


"It's very necessary to understand this information when developing a database."


"This is a comprehensive introduction to database marketing."


"For a basic overview of databases, this was good. the speaker went slowly (sometimes a bit too slowly) and some information on different slides seemed redundant. Good again for the novice, but anyone with some to alot of database information probably knows this."


"Truly illuminating. Filled with useful information. Well organized. Easy to follow."
