When a project deviates from the original request it causes “scope creep” . If not managed properly, scope creep can push timelines, increase budgets, effect resourcing, and frustrate your team and clients.

By Amanda Botzer on Nov 28, 2012 10:00:40 AM
Back in September I wrote about our company’s quality mission statement, which highlighted how Anderson strives to provide the highest level of quality and direct marketing services in the industry. This time I want to share Anderson’s quality policy mission statement: We are committed to understanding our customers’ expectations and meeting or exceeding those expectations as we continuously improve our processes. As a company, we strive to reach perfection and are always looking for ways to improve our procedures.

A Time to Be Thankful
By Danielle Nelson on Nov 22, 2012 8:36:26 AM
As Thanksgiving is upon us, I reflect upon how fortunate Anderson Direct Marketing is to be in the position it is in and through hard work, inspiring leadership and amazing people we are able to shine in an uncertain economy. In addition to all of the above, I believe Anderson is successful because as an organization, it cares. It cares for its people, it cares for its clients and it cares for the world we share.
Charitable Giving
By Kelsey Dale on Nov 21, 2012 9:18:41 AM
‘Tis the season for charitable giving. But why donate just during the holiday season? Over the past year, Anderson has participated with and donated to numerous organizations, both locally and nationally. During the month of September, which is Hunger Awareness month, ADM partook in the Feeding America San Diego’s Finest City Food Fight, a food drive dedicated to collecting food for local San Diegans in need. This drive helped collect over 5,650 pounds of food and raise $15,516 for hunger relief in San Diego. Quickly following September was October, Breast Cancer awareness month. ADM associates were proud to wear pink on Fridays to symbolize those who have been affected by breast cancer. Not prone to sitting around, ADM then joined together to form a team for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure San Diego, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising money for breast cancer research. Our Breast in Class Marketers contributed to the 1.2 million dollars raised the foundation. 75 percent of this money raised will stay in San Diego helping with treatment, education and patient/family support. The remaining 25 percent will go to fund breast cancer research.

The Most Powerful Marketing Metrics
By Mike Campbell on Nov 7, 2012 9:00:48 AM
The landscape for small, medium and enterprise businesses and their marketers today may be the most challenging of our lifetime. Several factors have created this “perfect storm” for marketers; an economic recession, increased competition, evolving technology, emerging marketing channels, etc. Therefore, the discussion between CMO’s and CFO’s ultimately leads to the Return on Investment (ROI). However, measuring a true ROI can be challenging when considering all factors that impact this “nirvana” of marketing metrics—sales efficiency, operational overhead, pricing strategies, etc.
