Target marketing priorities shifting to web strategies
Description: Web strategies are becoming more important to retailers in target marketing programs, according to Target Marketing Priorities Analysis2007 Key Trends, a study conducted by CSO Insights for marketing services firm Harte-Hanks Inc. The report notes that e-mail marketing is cited by the largest percentage of retailers, at nearly 50%, for producing the highest return on investment among web-based marketing strategies. Retailers ranked e-mail marketing second only to direct mail for ROI among all offline as well as online marketing programs, though they said direct mail was becoming less of a priority. In addition, retailers cited web sites/microsites, search optimization and e-mail marketing, in that order, as the most important web-based programs for achieving overall success in target marketing. More than 50% of study respondents, however, said web-based marketing accounted for 25% or less of their overall target marketing budgets. A move toward more web-based target marketing, the study concludes, supports a need for more accurate customer data.

After a dull 2002, the supply chain automation picture brightens
Description: Supply chain automation is like the weather; many talk about it, few do anything about it, according to a new report from Forrester Research Inc. 2002 is a year that supply chain management vendors would rather forget, begins the Five SCM Predictions for 2003 report by analyst Navi Radjou. Thats not stopping Forrester, though, from predicting robust growth as industries attempt to bring automation to their supply chains. And retailing is right up there, with the second highest compound annual growth (35%) of all industries, just behind transportation (37%). In 2008 the total market in supply chain management spending will be nearly four times what it will be this year, Forrester says. Much of the spending will be on web-based automation and collaboration services. Here are some of Forresters findings and predictions:
