InfoTrends Launches Comprehensive Study on Multi-Channel Communications

(Weymouth, MA) March 25, 2008…InfoTrends has announced the undertaking of a comprehensive new multi-client study on multi-channel communications. The study, entitled Multi-channel Communications Measurement and Benchmarking, will provide a complete analysis of the needs of marketing executives and an understanding of the impact that multi-channel communications is having on the ability to track and measure campaign results today and in the future.

InfoTrends has been monitoring multi-channel communication solutions since their inception. For many print service providers, adopting this technology has proven a daunting task, and the market was initially slow to adopt. Over the last couple of years, however, the breadth of multi-channel communication solutions and services available has expanded significantly, and InfoTrends has seen a rise in market adoption.

“We believe it is time to perform an in-depth assessment of the changes that have taken place with measurement and benchmarking metrics derived from multi-channel marketing communications, as well as the benefits associated with those changes,” commented Laureen Chudzinski, Director at InfoTrends.

Project objectives include:

• Establish the importance of campaign measurement metrics
• Understand how key enterprise marketing initiatives are affecting user requirements for campaign management
• Demonstrate how multi-channel communications impact measurement metrics
• Look at best-of-breed case studies and outline best practices
• Learn from the marketing professional about the need, requirements, and benefits of multi-channel marketing
• Learn from PSPs/MSPs who have successfully implemented campaign measurement metrics
• Highlight multi-channel communications solutions used for marketing measurement and benchmarking

The study findings will be based on a combination of desk and primary research. The primary research will consist of structured surveys with 100-150 marketing professionals as well as 300 marketing service providers (MSPs) and print service providers (PSPs). Additionally, InfoTrends analysts will conduct individual interviews with 8-10 marketing professionals as well as profiles of 8-10 MSPs and PSPs that are employing multi-channel communications today.
