Data-based marketing is nothing new. All marketing is based on some data. Before you reach out to any audience, you have to know a little about what makes them tick.

Marketing would be so much easier if you could just ask each individual member what they want.
That would be impossible, of course, especially if you have a large, nationwide association. And yet, members do expect a high level of personalization.
