Strategic planning determines the success of any marketing initiative. PSA collaborates closely with its clients, and often their advertising agencies, to make sure design, production and logistical disciplines fully support each other. The result is a strategy that accelerates time to completion, reduces overall cost, and increases response.
PSA establishes cost reduction and process improvement goals within the context of a rigorous baseline analysis of the entire spectrum of client marketing initiatives. This analysis uncovers waste, determines synergies, and relates the individual marketing initiative to the broader marketing strategy. The invariable results are significant cost saving, a simplified production process, increased operational efficiency and improved ROI.
It is not possible to achieve a business goal if the target cannot be clearly seen. PSA applies the most sophisticated market models, the most advanced software programs, and the most critical analytical intelligence to refining target audiences. This approach enables PSA to save its clients millions of dollars each and every quarter while increasing effectiveness and ROI.
Once specific, measurable business objectives have been determined, target markets have been identified, and necessary resources have been determined, the planning of the marketing initiative can proceed quickly to an orderly and efficient implementation.
A PSA client proposed a direct marketing campaign to over 2,000,000 Hispanics in a major North American city.
PSA Directo analyzed the proposal and the data underlying the assumptions and found that three quarters of this population
were highly unlikely to respond to the offer. The strategy was reworked to include only this more precisely targeted audience. Result: 65 per cent cost savings, significantly higher response rates, and increased ROI.
