Door to door
• Before
•Profile of supporters to find MOSAIC profile
•MOSAIC profiling of postal sectors
•Overlays of TV regions etc
•Select postal sectors with best match against supporter profile
• Now
•TGI profiling available
•Microvision and CAMEO software in addition to MOSAIC
•Penetration, Prospect and Potential (PPP) ranking
14
Penetration, Prospect & Potential (PPP) Ranking
The PPP ranking is the most sophisticated ranking technique and will enable you to look at three factors:
1. How well you are penetrating certain postal sectors by the number of households you have as existing supporters
2. How well a postal sector matches the profile of your supporters
3. Which postal sectors offer the greatest prospect potential, based on a combination of the above factors.
This ranking methodology is ideal for clients with a large supporter base.

Over 50’s – a new segmentation
• Improvements in healthcare and living standards mean that people can look forward to many years of healthy, active life until they are well into old age
• The over 50’s represent 40% of the total adult population in Britain (17m)
• By 2011, there will be 21.3m over 50’s – increasing at twice the rate of all adults
• This group of people have wide-ranging wants, capabilities, desires and wealth who will respond differently to marketing approaches

Solution
• Many companies tend to treat over 50’s as one mass market based on their biological age
• Royal Mail has brought together many different variables to identify ‘Life Begins at 50’ - 21 segments in this age range who have personal, household, wealth and geo-demographic characteristics and different preferences in the way they do business and their hobbies
• You can use these segments to differentiate your approach, channel and message to maximise ROI

Background
• Currently less than 29% of direct mail materials are recycled by households - this accounts for 2% of household landfill*
• DEFRA has set a 55% recyclable target for 2009 and 70% by 2013
• Failure to hit these targets could result in Government intervention
• Options being considered include legislation for a landfill tax on mail or a compulsory opt-in for DM
*Source: DEFRA, 2005
31
Background
The use of direct mail as a marketing tool has also come under increased pressure
In a recent customer survey 60% of respondents believed that mail advertising had a negative environmental impact, compared with 23% for newspaper advertising*
Yet direct mail only accounts for 2% of landfill compared to newspapers’ 9%**
Source: *GfK NOP, 2008 **Defra, 2007
32
The future•Royal Mail believes that all mail can be sustainable
• Mail that is created using sustainable resources and materials and can be easily recycled
• Our initial focus has been on defining sustainable mail for direct mail
33
PAS 2020
• Royal Mail, along with ISBA, Acxiom, TPS and the DMA, have championed the development of a new industry standard (PAS 2020) for improving the environmental performance of direct marketing with the BSI and government
• PAS 2020 is a tool for establishing environmental objectives that can be used by advertisers to demonstrate a commitment to responsible DM practices
36

Starting with the supporter journey…
Acquisition
Development
Retention
Winback
When and where should mail and digital be used along the supporter journey?
• Generating prospects• Enquirer conversion process• Previous enquirer model• Previous supporter model
• Welcome phase• Second donation• Getting to know you• Up/x-sell models
• Staying in touch• Managing problems
53
For mail and email…• Cold Acquisition - when
approaching supporters for the first time email is considered inappropriate
• Spam is a growing problem
• 60% have started ignoring email
• Consumers consider mail more appropriate for carrying detailed and important information on brands
• Email does have an important role to play in the acquisition process – particularly around follow-up activity e.g converting enquirers
Acquisition• Generating prospects• Enquirer conversion process• Previous enquirer model
› DM & Digital
54
For mail and email…• Email is perfect for confirmations
eg, that a donation has been received or is being processed
• Mail is also valuable to supporters at this stage in the journey for thanking and welcoming, encouraging future business
• Getting to know supporters is key – including their channel preference
• Surveys can be conducted via mail and/or email
Development• Welcome phase• Second donation• Getting to know you• Up/x-sell models
› DM & Digital
55
For mail and email…• Mail is up to 8 times more likely than
email to make supporters feel valued, although it does cost more
• A segmented approach to supporter communication is appropriate – not only based on channel preference but also profitability and potential
• Arguably both email and mail should be used to handle complaints
• Email provides an opportunity to confirm receipt/ explain the complaints handling process without delay
• Mail is perhaps more appropriate for more important/sensitive messaging
Retention• Staying in touch• Managing problems
