I am especially proud of this issue and our ability to bring you information on trends in the marketing industry.
Our focus this month is on loyalty. We look at trends shaping the future of loyalty marketing, including new applications for industries such as healthcare. In addition, the final installment of our four-part customer lifecycle series focuses on winning back the loyalty of lost and at-risk customers.
Two “must-reads” are our look at increasing marketing efficiency through marketing resource management and an innovative online customer gift program.
I hope you enjoy this issue and welcome any feedback or questions you might have.
