Past Drilling Down Newsletters

Designing and executing high ROI marketing strategies using customer data is the focus of each issue of the newsletter, delivered every four weeks.  The newsletter also highlights new customer marketing articles, must read case studies, hard to find customer retention metrics, and questions from newsletter subscribers and site users.  

If you sign up for the newsletter you'll get the first 9 chapters of the Drilling Down book, one chapter a day, by e-mail free!

"Your newsletter is the single most valuable tool of its kind for one simple reason:  Your detailed examples on various issues e.g. Recency, that we can instantly apply to our business.  For a small company with limited resources this is huge.  Throw in all the great articles and you have a winner!  Your articles have really helped me a lot, from a purely educational standpoint as well as sound business/marketing advice."
