What situations are not conducive to database marketing?

What will be an ideal response?


Building a customer database may not be worthwhile when:
• the product is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase (a grand piano)
• customers show little loyalty to a brand (there is a lot of customer churn)
• the unit sale is very small (a candy bar) so customer lifetime value is low
• the cost of gathering information is too high
• there is no direct contact between the seller and ultimate buyer
