For per-corporate-marketing + per-lifecycle-marketing + per-CRM

A 110-location operator runs per-corporate-marketing per-quarterly batched direct-mail. Per-customer-event- trigger fires 4 to 12 weeks late per-prospect. Per- customer-cart-abandonment per-direct-mail-drop 8 weeks after the 7-day decision window closed. Per-membership- renewal per-direct-mail-drop 30 days after the renewal window passed.
