New Website for Direct Marketing Data
New Zealand Post Targeted Communications has
launched a new website that offers marketers unique, free insights into
their target audiences.
The New
Zealand Post Data Hub, www.nzpost.co.nz/datahub, is a free and easy-to-use
interactive "play site" that provides marketers and media
planners with topline information from
some of New Zealand Post's datasets. The
site will allow users to get numerical insights into Kiwis' lifestyle and
purchasing choices, and is a first port of call for marketers looking to
identify their audience and create relevant, targeted communications
campaigns to reach them.
The Data Hub offers
a numerical snapshot of data available from the New Zealand Lifestyle
Survey, New Movers, Rural and PO Box Direct lists. Users can then liaise with the Targeted Communications team to get
even richer data insights to understand where, when, what and how to
communicate with prospective and existing customers.
Go on to the website and
have a play - its amazing what you can find out.
