OFFICEMAX ‘COURTS’ WOMEN CONSUMERS WITH MAILINGS

BUYING LISTS? GET OUR EXPERTS’ INPUT FOR BEST RESULTS
Choosing the list that will give you the biggest return requires knowledge and creativity.
Think of how men and women - typically - shop differently in retail stores. Women browse, ask questions, and weigh options. Researchers find that men are very direct, heading straight for what they want, buying it and leaving the store.
By expanding the search for a list beyond “just the Zip code and price,” you can find creative solutions for targeting the best possible responders.
