Marketing strategies and tactics are often defined by Segment (B2B or B2C), Channel (Email, Direct Mail, Social, etc.) or Industry. However, one of the most important categories to understand is Target Audience and one of the most commonly marketed target audiences are High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI’s)… also known as millionaires, rich or wealthy. HNWI’s have $1,000,000+ of investible or liquid income/assets (excludes Real estate, IRAs, durable/consumable goods, collectables) and represent 3.35 million households in North America*. These households collectively have approximately $11.4 trillion in investible or liquid income/assets and they account for more than half of all consumer spending.

Whether you are a full service direct marketing agency or a mail house, you will learn, engage and build relationships at this global event.

The program is similar to the already established Google Offers, Groupon and LivingSocial programs but unlike its competitors, Facebook won’t take a sales cut for redeemed vouchers.
