High Tech Equals High Demand
Our society is truly in the midst of a technology revolution. With more consumers owning computers, being online, having cell phones, using wireless Internet, and turning to VoIP for their telephone needs, the high tech industry is heating up and becoming increasingly competitive. Staying in the game doesn't necessarily mean having the largest marketing budget or the most recognizable brand – but it does mean being able to generate a high ROI, retaining and winning back customers and having a successful marketing strategy.
Currently, many high tech firms rely on direct mail marketing methods to reach potential customers - $1.3 billion (that’s billion with a B!) was spent on this type of marketing in 2003 alone. The bad news is that traditional direct mail methods just don't deliver stellar results.
To stay competitive, you need to think outside the box and work with a firm like Platinum Direct that can help you develop a more innovative, dynamic marketing approach.
High-Tech Faces High Pressure
One of the biggest challenges, particularly for startup software and IT service firms, is the risk of folding under increasing economic pressures. Although the demand for software and these services has continued to grow, the fluctuations of the high tech economy play havoc with firms that have not yet had a chance to establish themselves and their brand in the market. Fast action is needed to secure a steady supply of customers (i.e., revenue) through cost-effective marketing methods.
As a player in the high-tech industry, you also have the challenge of selling your product or service effectively to a wide variety of customers. Software, hardware, and telecommunications companies provide their goods and services not only to residential consumers, but also to small and large businesses, as well as government organizations. Using the same methods to target each of these markets won’t work - nor will sending mass mailings to specific members of each of these markets. The key is message personalization – and at Platinum Direct, we practically wrote the book!
The telecommunications industry particularly is facing tremendous competition. As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the industry is now wide open to players from different fields, including Internet service and cable providers. As a result, companies in the industry need to find a way to differentiate themselves from the competition.
Through a partnership with Platinum Direct, you’ll generate a marketing campaign that does just that – increasing your ROI as a result.

At Platinum Direct, we understand these challenges and can help you conquer them. One of our specialties is personalized marketing. Instead of sending mass, identical mailings to thousands of anonymous leads, we will help you target leads who are more likely to use your high tech services. We’ll also develop unique messages for those leads as the foundation for relationship marketing – the key to setting your company apart from the competition.
In addition to helping you gain new customers, Platinum Direct's integrated marketing efforts can help you retain and win back customers, and increase customer loyalty as part of an all-inclusive marketing campaign designed to increase your bottom line significantly.
To succeed in the high-tech industry, you need a strategy that keeps your company forging ahead in a dynamic, fast-changing environment. Customers want to know what’s in it for them. Show them – with a winning marketing campaign from Platinum Direct.
