Additional Melbourne and Sydney Analytic events
In addition to the Melbourne Forum with NAB held on June 17th, IAPA are pleased to announce two further seminar and networking opportunities from our new sponsor.
Lunchtime seminar:
Delivering more and spending less through Uplift Analytics
While some marketers are reducing budgets in an effort to survive the tight economic climate, others are choosing to spend less to improve revenue and response rates.
It sounds counter-intuitive but international brands like Telenor, Nationwide Insurance, US Bank, Lloyds Banking Group and Fingerhut have proven Uplift Modelling to boost results while saving up to 40 percent of their marketing budget.
At this lunchtime seminar presented by Portrait Software, Dr Mark Smith, one of the pioneers of Uplift Modelling, will explain how uplift analytics can identify the customers who will be persuaded by your marketing message and those who will run from it!
Venue: Karstens, 123 Queens Street, Melbourne
Time: 12noon to 1.30pm
Date: Thursday 2nd July 2009
Cost: Complimentary
RSVP: rsvp@iapa.org.au (please quote `Uplift' in the subject line of the email)
A light lunch will be served at the conclusion of the presentation
