“Find it Fast” features.
VISUAL APPLIANCES

hardware and software products. This included managing development for all sales and executive
presentations, product and corporate collateral and web design and strategy.
GLABMAN FURNITURE
Created a relationship management system that dramatically improved development and
retention successes; prospect conversion (visit-to-purchase) improved by 48%, and the company
was able to formalize its understanding of what factors maximized lifetime value of clients. The
database incorporated internally generated and third party data to gain a clear “snapshot” of clients
and automated and prompted actions, including supporting collateral.
Focused efforts on referrals, the leading motivator in affluent sales, delivering an additional
$3 million in sales within the first fifteen months. The effort included a mix of direct approaches,
hosted private events and improved training and retention policies and programs to prompt and
secure referrals.
Reversed aging trends in customer base by updating branding and customer experience.
Average age for clients dropped by five years, a demographic change that increased effective market
size by 73% while increasing lifetime customer value.
Refocused direct mail efforts to improve effectiveness. The company developed its own database
of every potential customer – over 350,000 households – appended with key demographic data and
used in a sophisticated mix of niche mail programs with as few as 1,000 target households and large,
promotion-oriented pieces totaling as many as two million pieces in a year. The repurposed program
was the mainstay of marketing program that doubled monthly traffic figures.
