Customer Up-sell/Cross-sell

• It is a means to start building a relationship with a customer.
• Example: If they apply a credit card, they can spend more.
If they buy a car, they need insurance.

Does Direct Marketing work in Thailand?
• It does for a number of companies.• Especially after economic crisis in
1997 • Marketing spending through
advertising is revisited.• Companies make their data
available to non-competitive brands
13

HOWEVER…………• Different people are inclined to
respond to different stimuli.• Direct mktg alone cannot work
well without integrated marketing communications (IMC).
• Together they can do their work of reaching the prospect, making the
sale, and developing the relationship.
