Contact Does Not Equal Connection.


It's not about the tools. It's not about the technology. Anyone can buy lists and flood the target with contact. H2M, however, approaches direct marketing with a unique and powerful solution through its nDialogue division. nDialogue is a joint venture between H2M and Alphagraphics, Minneapolis, Minnesota. nDialogue combines the most powerful direct marketing strategies available today, including highly variable and tightly integrated Print On Demand printing with landing page linkage. Directed by Dan Altenbernd, nDialogue brings direct marketing into the new century.

nDialogue makes connecting the priority. And connecting goes much deeper than merely awareness. Real connections are built from a deep understanding of the wants, needs, desires and decision-making process of the desired target audience. Direct marketing by its very nature, is the most trackable of all marketing disciplines. No other company has this level of sophisticated real-time tracking available.

Important Things To Know About Direct Marketing

By definition, direct marketing is marketing by means of direct communication with consumers with an offer that is time/price sensitive, in other words, expresses urgency in its messaging.

In order to serve that function, you must have the capabilities to understand your audience. This goes beyond simple demographic segmentation, you must also take into account consumers attitudes, values and fears – while also staying in tune with preferred channels of communication.This involves extensive target segmentation.

nDialogue creates integrated direct marketing initiatives for their customers. Integrated direct marketing; as defined by H2M; direct communication to consumers using coordinated, blended channels to construct one unified message,which equals results.

Your Audience
Understanding where your audience spends their time, how they are influenced to make purchasing decisions and how to intermix traditional forms of advertising with online strategies is imperative. This is based upon the knowledge that the average consumer spends 30% of their media time online, and online vehicles continue to be a large influencer of consumer purchases. Again, few audiences are homogenous in their behaviors and lifestyles, so segmentation becomes key.

nDialogue will guide you through a process that shows how to associate marketing dollars to multiple marketing channels in order to form a truly integrated, ongoing, communication plan.
The start of your campaign is only the beginning.

Once your plan is put into motion, nDialogue continues to drive deeper, and gains knowledge with every passing day of your campaign. nDialogue has developed a unique online capability that helps understand your campaign and audience response results NOW, not three weeks from today. Armed with this knowledge, nDialogue can tweak campaigns as they are in motion in order to accomplish set objectives.

Once an integrated campaign is complete, nDialogue provides a custom developed analysis report to their clients. These reports are used by not only nDialogue’s clients, but also the internal nDialogue marketing team. nDialogue uses this knowledge in order to continue to test layouts, call-to-action messaging, and integrated channels, so that you as a company continue to grow smarter about your set marketplace—more than just adding mediums.

The never-ending growth of media choices coupled with greater consumer control makes it too easy for consumers to be “tuned-out.” And simply adding new channels of advertising to an already established marketing strategy is simply not enough. nDialogue takes your direct marketing deeper and gets you nDepth with your customers, which makes you stronger, smarter and more profitable.
