The Perfect Blend

On the other hand, most of us have been to a potluck or gathering where someone will bring that salad or casserole. You know the one. It has all the things that you love but for some reason they just don't taste all that great together. There's just no consistency...

One of the terms that marketers have been moving to the forefront lately is "cross-channel marketing". Most of us are familiar with multi-channel marketing, and we understand the need and advantages of using multiple formats to reach an audience. Cross-channel marketing simply takes those formats, and applies the same voice, offer, and campaign to each of them. When it's done correctly the results are dramatic.

The other key here is timing. Instead of sending all of your media at once, use the pieces to carry on a conversation. Start with social media and e-mail marketing letting your audience know you'll be sending them something physical. Send them a personalized letter with their offer, and asking them to fill out a quick online form. Follow up with a postcard thanking them for their time or reminding them of the offer. Each touch building on the last and each one consistent in it's message.
