Can you have too much information? Only if you don¿t know how to use it. Although many companies already use the Internet in tandem with their databases to gather information about their customers, marketers are only now beginning to grasp the powerful potential of Web-focused database marketing. Arthur M. Hughes is a pioneer in the field and his book is an essential database marketing resource. It clearly shows companies large and small how to use their databases to build relationships with their customers, and convert them into lifelong users of their products or services. It is necessarily technical at times, so a background in business is helpful in understanding all of the content. Yet, if the economics of database marketing make sense for your product or service ¿ and Hughes will tell you if they do or not ¿ getAbstract predicts that you will rely upon this book as a welcome guide.

Strategic Database Marketing is one of the most practical marketing books I have ever read. Arthur Hughes introduces the reader to the key database marketing concepts. He illustrates each concept with success stories, costly failures ... and last but not least numerical, practical examples (the major selling point of the book). Furthermore, Arthur Hughes empowers the reader by giving her the opportunity to test her understanding of the material at the end of each chapter. To summarize, Strategic Database Marketing has successfully shown how to get the most from a customer base while satisfying their wants and needs.
