For marketers, the chance to market directly to a member of a target audience is always a welcome opportunity.
Often, however, marketing efforts are actually indirect communications – ads in a magazine, tweets about a product release, banner ads on popular sites, etc. Marketers place their messages in arenas where they know their audience frequents and then hope the right eyeballs see it.
Don’t get me wrong – these tactics hold a valuable place in a marketing strategy. The best marketing plan utilizes a variety of channels including digital, social, events, print, email, etc., that are optimized to what works best for a specific brand. And when done correctly, direct mail marketing (both email and postal) can be a highly effective part of your marketing strategy.
For academic publishers, scholarly societies, universities, and even biotech companies looking to target the individuals leading research in their fields, Web of Science Author Connect can provide access to reach them directly.
The Author Connect email and postal lists are built from Web of Science–which includes only the world’s highest-impact journals – so you can trust that you are reaching the people who matter most in the industry.
