When a customer adds new licenses, or products, or reaches a certain milestone, launch a direct mail campaign or send a gift to celebrate the occasion. Find meaningful statistics based on your product offering that signifies duration, usage, or volume. Set predefined milestones like license counts or time duration. For example, send a gift to celebrate five years of being a client, reaching 10,000 users, or appearing in a million searches. You can surface customer milestones through news or Scoops on the ZoomInfo platform.
