Specialist Multichannel Readies Retail Models
Specialists Multichannel Solutions LLC is developing a trade area prospecting statistical modeling program for retailers. Models will leverage customer data with neighborhood cluster data to create tiered trade areas. Modeled data will provide more precise household cluster data, compared to ZIP code, carrier route or census block group data, according to Curt Blattner, chief operating officer at Specialists Multichannel. For companies with restrictive privacy policies, customer data can be aggregated, so that no individual customer and address data is required.
Short Cuts
Northstar Travel Media now offers a $75/M nonprofit rate on all its publication files. These files managed by VentureDirect Worldwide include Meetings and Conventions, Hotel Contacts and Travel Weekly, among others.
Impulse Media has announced that it no longer manages the following lists: Natural Enhancers, Nostra-Damus, Ciren 12 Canadian Diet Buyers, International Research Institute Canadian and Sexium Z-300 Male Supplement Buyers Canadian.
