1:25pm - 1:41pm	HOW DATA-DRIVEN CREATIVE POWERS BETTER DIRECT MARKETING RESULTS Direct marketing creative typically has been more instinct than fact driven. Yes, there’s often focus group or other qualitative research. And in retail, merchant funding has always played a big role in what products are featured. But hard metrics on which attributes—subject line, offer, imagery, products, etc.—motivate response have been absent. Now that is changing. There’s a way to use behavioral profiles and virtual testing to identify the creative elements that align with specific consumer interests and will perform best, whatever the channel. Scott Harvey will review this data-based approach and how it helped a national department store chain increase response rates, sales value and average order size.
