Customer Input Pays Off For Revamped Marriott E-Newsletter
At first blush, rewards statement design should be a no-brainer. By definition, a marketer is communicating with its most engaged customers. To paraphrase an old saying, any communication is good communication as long as the customer’s name is spelled right. Right?
