Essays From Arthur Middleton Hughes

In my opinion, Arthur Middleton Hughes may have influenced the field of Database Marketing more than any other individual over the past twenty years. A few weeks ago, Mr. Hughes agreed to share his views on a couple of questions. Attached are a pair of essays from Mr. Hughes.

The first essay addresses how to calculate lifetime value when you, as a marketer, have incomplete information. Click here to download the document: Essay #1.

The second essay talks about customer retention. Pundits talk about how it is cheaper to retain a customer than it is to acquire a new customer. Mr. Hughes provides his thoughts on this topic. Click here to download the document: Essay #2.

My thanks to Arthur Middleton Hughes of KnowledgeBase for taking the time to discuss these topics with us!

Here here!!! Arthur is a legend in this industry. His was the first book that I ever read on Database Marketing and I still use those principles today. The book, in fact, enjoys a permanent spot on my reading shelf. I have also had the extreme pleasure of working with and learning from the man himself. Thank you again Arthur for all of your contributions to this industry.
