Module 2 – Acquisition
The most important stage of the marketing funnel is acquisition. Direct to PolicyHolder (DTPH) has developed a proprietary integrated direct response marketing protocol that facilitates the acquisition of leads at one-fourth the cost of the industry standard.
This low Cost Per Lead (CPL) allows DTPH to deploy and test various content and direct sale based marketing initiatives across eight major channels simultaneously.
