Additional sections related to the list communication and analysis associated with marketing lists and their list codes can be found in Creating and Maintaining List Communication and Viewing a Marketing List Analysis, respectively.The Marketing List and Communication subsystem focuses much of its functionality on marketing list creation as a way of creating market segments so that marketing managers can identify groups of similar characteristics based on a wide variety of factors as well as upload marketing lists gathered from a third-party source.
Each marketing list you create is assigned a user-defined list code. Each list code should serve as a separate market segment made up of people or organizations with one or more characteristics in common that cause them to demand similar products and/or services. The characteristics can range from anything as simple as a demographic factor to the more specific purchase of a conference or any combination of the two.
The emphasis on dynamic marketing list creation helps you to later prioritize the very specific groups based on the effectiveness a marketing activity (or market code) had on them, and analyze the groups characteristics to understand their behavior, eventually helping you to respond with a more focused marketing strategy.
True market segments don't always fit into convenient demographic boundaries, so the application provides you with a variety of ways in which you can create your market lists, from importing a list you acquire from a third-party to generating a list based on a Data Analyzer query.
The Marketing and Communication List Maintenance subsystem allows you to accomplish the following tasks:
· Define how any uploaded information should map to Personify360 tables (only required for list creation based on a file import)
o Create a Customer Import List
o Create a List from a Data Analyzer Query
o Create a List from an External File
o Create a List based on Customer Interest Areas
o Viewing List Counts and Analysis
o Excluding Constituents from a List
· Send a Marketing List to Lyris
