Also can send you some thoughts on the direct mail if what you sent me is the base. You=E2=80=99re planning to stack these media, correct? - Run the ads then d= rop the mailer in the middle/end of the radio campaign? A QR code could bounce people straight to a landing page - do we have that on the website? Then we can retarget visitors for 30 days (assuming the regulations allow). Any other digital channels/sites worth considering? Stacking usually means that 1+1+1 =3D 4. So it=E2=80=99s worth lining every= thing up. Otherwise it=E2=80=99s much harder to break through the clutter.
