Accordion
Nirvana’s Response Handling Solutions for Your Direct Mail, Advertising Campaigns, Event Specific Literature Requests, Product Launch Related Calls And Any One-off Direct Marketing Campaigns.
Why Accordion
You would be running occasional direct marketing campaigns which are clearly beyond the handling capacity of in-house resources and infrastructure. The response handling period and staff requirement is unclear and would require substantial scaling up and ramp down capabilities. Response requirement would involve telephone and e-mail interaction. You have an in-house fulfillment team or have a service provider for fulfillment related processes. You have a very limited means or prior experience to predict the scale of response; in essence you need someone who can take out resourcing related risk.
