An Effective Cross Media Marketing Campaign
Created and powered by its own technology, the MindFireInc marketing team launched a very successful multi-touch cross media marketing campaign utilizing direct mail, email, customized Microsites, text messaging, personalized URLs, Intelligent Mail barcodes, and QR codes. This highly targeted and carefully personalized campaign resulted in a 24.96% response rate, and drew record traffic to the company's booth throughout the exhibition hours, and to MindFireInc's speaking engagements during the educational break-out sessions.  

"When your sales executives say they are happy with campaign results, you know you've got it right," said Ramin Zamani, Director of Marketing at MindFireInc.  "We also wanted to demonstrate how technology can help improve marketing results, and the best way to show this, I believe, is by practicing what you preach," he added.
