INTERVIEW WITH GRADY A. HUBBARD – G.E. TRANSFORMS SALES PITCH INTO TOUR OF TEST FACILITY
THE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER PRODUCTS DEPARTMENT MAKES DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS. THESE ARE POLE TRANSFORMERS THAT SERVICE HOMES. HOWEVER, WITH UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION BECOMING MORE AND MORE THE STATE OF ART, THESE TRANSFORMERS ARE BEING PLACED BENEATH THE GROUND OR ON PADS SO THEY ARE LESS VISIBLE. THAT’S THE PRODUCT. WHAT GE TRIED WITH THE DIRECT-MAIL PROGRAM WAS TO PROMOTE A CUSTOMER-DEMONSTRATION CENTER LOCATED IN HICKORY ON A TWO-ACRE SITE. THE PURPOSE OF THE DIRECT-MAIL CAMPAIGN WAS TO GET GE UTILITY CUSTOMERS AND PEOPLE WHO BUY DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS DOWN TO VISIT HICKORY AND TOUR THE PLANT. THERE IS VERY LITTLE STANDARDIZATION AT THIS POINT. BUT THAT IS THE WAY THE INDUSTRY HAS TO GO. IT IS SIMILAR TO RAILROADS BUILDING TRACKS TO SUIT THEIR OWN GUAGE. EVENTUALLY THEY URGE THE SAME GUAGE SO TRAINS COULD USE ALL TRACKS. IT’S STILL A DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY AMONG THE UTILITIES, AND PERHAPS WITH EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY AND SHARING OF IDEAS STANDARDIZATION IS NOT FAR OFF.

DIRECT-MAIL – ‘QUIET’ MEDIUM
DIRECT-MAIL IS THE THIRD LARGEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM, PRODUCING $40 BILLION IN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES EACH YEAR, GENERATING 1,000,000 JOBS. IT RANKS THIRD IN SIZE BEHIND ONLY NEWSPAPERS AND TV, WITH AN ANNUAL VOLUME ESTIMATED AT $3.4 BILLION. IN MANY WAYS DIRECT MAIL RANKS FIRST, CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF USERS, IN TERMS OF DIRECT EMPLOYMENT, AND IN TERMS OF THE VARIETY OF FORMS IN WHICH IT CAN BE CARRIED OUT. FOR INSTANCE, IN 1971 OVER 280,000 BUSINESSES WERE HOLDERS OF BULK THIRD- CLASS MAILING PERMITS, AND THE DMMA FEELS IT’S SAFE TO SAY THERE’S NO BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NO CIVIC, RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, CULTURAL, SPORTS OR OTHER GROUP, NOR ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO AT SOME TIME OR OTHER HAS NOT USED DIRECT-MAIL. AN ESTIMATED $40-$50 BILLION IN SALES, ABOUT 4.5 PERCENT OF THE GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT, IS GENERATED BY DIRECT-MAIL MARKETING.

DIVERSEY CHEMICALS BUILDS SUCCESSFUL DIRECT-MAIL AROUND PROSPECTS PERSONAL INTERESTS AND DESIRE TO BE OWN BOSS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DECIDE YOUR REASONS FOR USING DIRECT-MAIL BEFORE DEVELOPING A PROGRAM. THE OBJECTIVE OF DIVERSEY CHEMICALS WAS TO HELP THE SALESMEN GET PAST THE RECEPTIONIST AND INTO THE OFFICES OF BUYING INFLUENCES. THE BASIC THEME DEVELOPED COMBINED KNOWN INTERESTS OF PROSPECTS, THE DESIRE OF SO MANY TO BE THEIR OWN BOSS, AND THE CURRENT INTEREST IN NOSTALGIA. TWO POINTS ADDING TO SUCCESS OF THE CAMPAIGN WERE – (1) SALESMAN WERE KEPT FULLY INFORMED AND RECEIVED SAMPLES OF MAILINGS. (2) PRESENT CUSTOMERS WERE INCLUDED ON THE MAILING LIST. IF IT IS WORTH SPENDING SOMETHING TO GAIN A CUSTOMER, IT IS WORTH THE SAME AMOUNT TO KEEP AN EXISTING CUSTOMER. A UNIQUE BOTTLE WAS SENT AS PART OF THE THIRD MAILING, AND FACILITATED BOTH MAIL AND PERSONAL RESPONSE TO THE MAIL CAMPAIGN.

LIST CREATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR INVESTMENT
THE VALUE OF A GOOD LIST DEPENDS ON HOW AND TO WHAT EXTENT THE LIST IS USED. THE MOST PROFITABLE USAGES ARE GENERALLY DERIVED FROM SELLING ONE’S OWN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED OR WHO HAVE INQUIRED. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES LIE IN SELLING ACCESSORIES OR RELATED ITEMS TO PURCHASERS OF BASIC PRODUCTS. FINALLY, ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES IS THE CROSS FERTILIZATION OF LISTS BETWEEN DIVISIONS. ALSO THE REVENUES DERIVED FROM RENTAL LISTS CAN BE GREAT. RESPONSIVENESS OF PERSONS ON THESE LISTS IS VERY IMPORTANT. DETERMINE THROUGH WHAT TYPE OF MEDIA INDIVIDUALS HAVE RESPONDED. ANOTHER FACTOR THAT AFFECTS RESPONSIVENESS IS HOMOGENEITY OF PERSONS ON THE LIST. SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUES CAN BE USED FOR GROUPING. AFTER A LIST IS CREATED, IT MUST BE MAINTAINED. A FORMAT AND THE DESIRED DETAIL OF THE LIST SHOULD BE DETERMINED. THERE MUST BE A HIGH LEVEL OF INPUT CONSISTENCY.
