Larry Chase's Web Digest for Marketers - June 2006

WiseGuys Marketing Analysis Software - WiseGuys enables you to do RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis right from your desktop - and thus identify those customers most likely to respond to whatever off you are cooking up right now. It links to your order entry system. Written in Microsoft Access, it automatically households files, segments customers into quintiles and assigns RFM scores to customer records. You can also apply lifetime value analysis to identify profitable customer segments. It was created by a database marketing company president and instructor at Johns Hopkins University when he and his students realized that RFM analysis was much easier in theory than in practice and that no off-the-shelf program existed to provide RFM capability. You can request a demo at the site.

Eight Lessons You Can Learn From a Matchback
Special Report: Matchbacks (Catalog Success: 3/1/06) By Terrell Sellix

Matchback tools also can be added to your existing order management software. These programs offer immediate matchback capabilities by integrating mailing data and order information into a single database. When orders are received, they're automatically matched to a mailed record. Two examples of these software solutions are the Media Matchback Module, which runs in Response Direct Commerce Software by CoLinear Systems, and the Matchback Response Analysis feature of WiseGuys by Desktop Marketing Solutions. The latter links to several standard order management software programs. Costs for these types of tools can range from $1,000 to $3,500 depending on what commerce software you use.

"Closer Look: WiseGuys Marketing Software", Catalog Age, April 2004 issue.

Here is an excerpt from the article, written by Ernie Schell, an industry veteran:
A bold statement, but nonetheless true: WiseGuys is the only stand-alone target marketing software available that uses RFM analysis.

Ernie Schell, Catalog Age
"When it comes to database marketing, the typical catalog company, regardless of size, talks the talk but fails to walk the walk. Bruce Gregoire of Falls Church, VA-based Desktop Marketing Solutions aims to change that. WiseGuys Marketing Software is built on Microsoft Access (or on MySQL) and performs both RFMP and LTV calculations in a robust and coherent fashion, with a price tag for the "enterprise" version of $2,500 With this kind of bang for the buck, and for so few bucks, at that, WiseGuys is a no-brainer for companies still stuck in "Excel hell."
