Insights Tell A Story That Leads To Increased Sales

THE CHALLENGE

The Seattle Times is a Pulitzer Prize winning news media company founded in 1896. With a reach of 1.8 million, they act as a full-service marketing agency for their clients. Using Claritas PRIZM® Premier, they regularly perform segmentation analyses on their clients’ customer files to help them identify the highest opportunity audiences for their marketing efforts, including the best channels to deliver their messaging.

HOW WE DID IT

The Seattle Times is a long standing Claritas client that accesses PRIZM Premier through the self-service consumer insights platform, Claritas 360. One of their clients, a donation driven company, was looking to increase their highest-level donor base. After determining which segments to target, The Seattle Times ran a two-week banner ad campaign that helped the company increase their new donors by 10%, at a donation level of $100,000 or more.

Additionally, they performed a segmentation analysis on a high-end jewelry store’s CRM. They recommended the jewelry store up their ad spend but target more qualified buyers, instead of their typical mass marketing efforts. After a year of campaigns, the jewelry store raised their ad budget by half, after measuring a 50% monthly increase in sales over the previous year.

The Seattle Times continues to drive success for clients and looks forward to new innovations in targeting methods to increase their effectiveness.
