Harry and David profits from reminders

Article Abstract:

Harry and David sends recipient list mailing to its customers and profits by generating a response rate of over 50%. The package includes a catalog and a completed order form with the name and address of the friend or relative to whom the customer sent a gift the previous season. It serves as a reminder of the product that they bought, the time they bought it and to whom they sent it. The technique has proven that one of the easiest ways of maintaining customer loyalty is to provide consistent reminders.
