Adapting and Evolving

One major benefit of digital marketing is the ability to own your own first-party data. Data from mail houses is “third-party” data, and restrictive privacy laws concerning personal data cause it to not be nearly as valid as it once was. This means it’s crucial to get the word out and aggregate first-party data. Lone Beacon can do this through Facebook advertising and email marketing. Once prospects opt in, we can continue to market to them through email for you– and thus, you enjoy a much higher conversion rate for a fraction of the cost of mailers. Ultimately this kind of organically built database is far more valuable than purchased third-party data.
