Lessons to be learned
Paper is still the preferred information medium for
reading and storage of documents – all ages
18-24 year olds appear to appreciate paper more
than older age groups
Paper is not seen as an environmentally friendly
way to read
Consumers do not understand that European
forests are getting bigger
Print and Paper is seen as a sustainable resource,
but this needs reinforcement
Consumers like recyclable products and need a
better understanding of the industry’s good record
Informative marketing is needed and can be
influential

Measurement is more vital than ever
New technology can make measurement
easier and more accurate
New response channels can bring new
customers
The Power of Print can work with the internet
135. Putting it into practice – a

136. Door Drop & Inserts
Robert Dyas November 2011
137. Introduction To Robert Dyas
Established in 1872 by Robert Dyas
98 stores predominantly in the South East with outlying stores as far north as Solihull, East to Colchester and
West to Bristol
Stores predominantly in High Street locations.
Trades in a number of centre types from city of London, to large destination centres (Brighton/Bristol) to
smaller provincial market towns (Dorking, Dorchester)
Product mix covers kitchenware, small electrical appliances, housewares, cleaning, home office, DIY and
gardening
No one, direct competitor, but lots of competition: Wilkinsons, Supermarkets, Argos, DIY/Electrical sheds,
kitchen specialists, internet
Customer base quite broad but tends to bias older (40+), ABC1 home owners. Two thirds of customers are
female. Customer profile does vary by centre type.
Overall Robert Dyas proposition is based around convenience and service, but need strong well targeted,
well communicated promotions to drive sales – particularly in the current environment
Robert Dyas November 2011
139. Marketing Mix
Full year promotion plan with 12 promotional changes per year
Each promotion is supported with:
TV advertising (in Carlton & Meridian – beyond this store density too low to make TV cost effective)
Promotional leaflet inserted in the national press and via door drop
Digital activity: e-mails, PPC, SEO etc
At key times of the year radio and press are used to give further weight to the campaign
In addition to promotional leaflets, we also produce larger format seasonal guides to support
key seasonal opportunities e.g. gift guide, outdoor living guide
Leaflet marketing has been a key part of the marketing mix for Robert Dyas for the past 10
years
Robert Dyas November 2011
140. Why Leaflet Marketing Works For
Robert Dyas
A cost effective way of communicating a broad mix of products.
As the number of pages increase, inserts and door drop becomes more cost efficient –
media costs don’t double if the number of pages double.
It works well for our suppliers
opportunity for properly branded space
opportunity to showcase a broader range of products
huge uplift on featured lines
Ability to target locally reduces wastage and delivers a better ROI
Unrivalled ability to target to key customer segments
Highly measurable media
Direct response mechanisms
Control store testing
Works well with broadcast media
TV drives awareness of an event or promotion and sales to 1-2 key lines
Leaflets drive a response across a broad range of lines featured in the promotion
Drives sales
Short term: drives sales spike: c 5-8% overall sales
Long term: keeps Robert Dyas top of mind

143. Door Drop
Advantages:
Ability to target message to a granular level:
By location
By customer segment
Ability to change message locally (re-version)
The more you know about your customer, the more powerful/less wasteful the media becomes
(who they are, where they come from, how much they spend, what they buy)
Things to look out for:
Newshare: good cost per 1000. But coverage can be poor, publications vary in quality, no control
of what items will be inserted in the paper
Team: more expensive cost per 1000, some subcontracted teams lead to reliability issues, don’t
cover all postcode sectors
Royal Mail: expensive cost per 1000, but 100% household coverage and maximum number of
competing items – may be only option to cover some key postcode sectors
Use coverage and reliability data, e.g. TNT’s Home-in Targeting (HiT), to guide your delivery
method by postcode sector:

144. Inserts
Advantages:
Benefit from the brand association with the host title
Editorial content can support the sales opportunity
Some titles allow you to target at a more granular level than TV region.
Maximum number of items per title
Better distribution method for leaflets which have a longer shelf life
Things to Look out For:
TV region distribution can be wasteful
Ability to target at a really local level difficult – few local/regional papers carry inserts
Declining circulation figures in many national newspapers
Most papers will only insert at the weekend
Size of weekend newspapers
Robert Dyas November 2011
145. Door Drop and Inserts: Our Experience
Both have a strong role to play in our marketing mix, and both deliver a strong ROI
We use a mix of both to support the main promotional calendar and results suggest the distribution methods
complement each other without too much overlap
Both work well with our ATL activity.
For certain activities we favour one method over another:
Door Drop Inserts
Short term and tactical activities Higher price points/more considered
purchases
New store openings
Seasonal opportunities (particularly when
Local marketing editorial features support the theme)
Different messages on a local/regional basis Items with longer shelf life
Focus on lower price point & consumable
items

Digital Media
Summary
149. Evolution of Print
2011
Social Media
Email
Credit Crunch
Market trends favoured conventional packs
Print Management began to take off
More emphasis on pack cost
Mailings became more targeted
Bespoke mailing pieces
ROI was the key driver
Initially producing OPM for Agencies
1992 GI
Founded
150. Events have conspired against us
Our world became less about…
“Producing relevant and innovative marketing communications to
engage with the recipient and drive improved response rates”
…and more about…
“How cheaply we can produce an A4 Letter and enclose it to a DL
envelope?”
153. Case study – Sky
Sky wanted to use regionalisation to increase response. To do this
meant using colour imagery but given the variety of locations, it was
impossible to do this using conventional printing
The Test pack contained clear regionalisation from the area - this
included the TV region, Name of block of flats, Street Name or
Town Name. To emphasis timing, the date of the switch over was
included in that area in both packs
The Test Pack carried a map of where the recipient lived and what
was going to happen in their area. The Core pack contained
references to regions which were not supported by imagery and there
was only generic regionalisation in the brochure
155. Results
While the whole campaign met target, the test packs were 50%
more responsive.
Showed regionalisation and variable digital print works
Will use digital print on future campaigns
“We were delighted with the success of this campaign which used regional references
to make the pack more relevant to the recipient. GI Direct were instrumental in ensuring
the variability was efficient and accurate and their capability in digital print allowed the
campaign to be delivered ”
Fiona Millard
Print Production Manager, SKY
157. Case study – Adrian Flux
Insurance company wanted to improve the response rates from
their monthly trigger insurance mailings
With assistance from GI Direct, changed 25,000 packs per
month to maximise the use of colour personalisation
Now use 30 different variable images per month based on
vehicle the customer owns. Gender and age images used
initially but not as effective
160. Results
Percentage of people taking out a new policy were 1.27%
Now percentage of new policyholders is 1.81%
This shows an increase of over 30% of new policyholders
Have rolled out use of digital variable to more campaigns
162. CRUK – Free Will Service
Twice a year
Personalised with solicitors’ names
and addresses
Volume varies from 500,000 to
1,400,000
Geographic segmentation – 252
segments
Local solicitors are part of campaign
163. Molson Coors
Segmentation to postcode sector to nearest two pubs
Personalised with pub name
Strong offer and call to action
Drive time analysis
166. QR Code usage
DMA Mobile & Shopping – What’s going on? October 2011
167. What is a QR code?
A QR (Quick Response) Code is a 2d barcode that contains a
website address
When scanned by a Smartphone, it takes the user direct to the
website
It can:
Take your customer to the relevant part of your website
Take your customer to an App to download
Link them directly to an offer
Take them to a phone number to call
169. Sky Pop Up
Part of a fully integrated multi channel campaign
Used as a trigger to other stages of the customer
journey
Use of QR code extended life of door drop
Added content and movement to static printed
piece
170. What are Microsites?
a mini-website - typically only has 1-3 pages
sits outside the main website
ToysRUs
cute baby competition
sits on GI’s servers, customers upload pictures and details
Habitat
used as an offer page from the emails, the offer has a printable offer with
personalised barcode
172. Habitat - PURL
Text, links and imagery vary
depending on segmentation
Creating the offer: PURL
Fully personalised offers
Fully personalised graphics
Easy and quick to implement
Powerful reporting
173. Augmented Reality
AR is a way of creating a 3D virtual image of a product using print, a
webcam and a website
174. Social Media
Communities with a common interest
Creating Conversations
Can be integrated with Direct Marketing
Different response mechanisms and measurement
175. Social Media - examples
Mont Blanc sent beautifully written letters that were bogus requests for
money.
The strapline was ‘There is nothing more genuine than a hand-written
letter’.
It was sent to bloggers and leading journalists and created £33,000
worth of ‘free’ media.
RNLI were looking to target younger people.
They sent 12 influential YouTube video bloggers a controversial
message in a box - ‘Your generation has been branded selfish, ignorant
and violent’. The box also contained a camera along with an invitation to
rewrite the headlines.
Each blogger generated a massive response online resulting in
hundreds of thousands of young people learning about the RNLI. And
500 young people aged 16 to 22 joined the RNLI as volunteers.
Case Studies from Mail Media Centre website www.mmc.co.uk
176. Mobile
Over a quarter of adults (27 per cent) and almost half of teenagers
(47 per cent) now own a smartphone, according to Ofcom’s latest
Communications Market Report. Most (59 per cent) have
acquired their smartphone, which includes devices such as
iPhones, Blackberrys and Android phones, over the past year
37 per cent of adults and 60 per cent of teens are ‘highly addicted’
to them
Ofcom: Communications Market Report August 2011

Relevance to recipient
Print has a role in multi channel campaigns
Is a launching pad
Can be a link into Social Media
Complementary not competitive

180. Door drops VS Inserts
Marc Michaels, Director of Direct and Evaluation
November 2011
181. Door drops AND Inserts AND Direct Mail AND Face to Face
AND TV AND Radio AND PR AND frankly anything that works …
Marc Michaels, Director of Direct and Evaluation
November 2011
182. We’re after a media mix that works
… AND creates effective behaviour change
amongst the people we’re trying to reach.
For clients it isn’t (or shouldn’t be) about which
media they prefer/like/feel more comfortable
buying.
It’s about identifying the media mix that
works cost effectively to deliver the
objectives.
183. Case study 1 – Sometimes the Government want to talk
to ‘everyone’ about something that ‘affects everyone’
Local Elections and referendum on
the voting system – The Electoral
Commission
A national distribution of information
booklets to every household in UK via door
drop distribution Jan – April 2011 about the
referendum question, how to vote and
voter registration
Supported by TV prompting people to look
out for the booklet and by direct mail to
intermediaries through the Publicity
Register.
Awareness Comprehension ‘Mop up’ Action
184. An established mechanism first used
on AIDS back in 1987
A methodology has been employed successfully by COI
over the last 25 years on: AIDS, Millenium Bug, Ofgas –
gas deregulation, Patients Charter, Parents Charter,
NHS Reforms, Preparing for Emergencies and
Pandemic Flu.
With the objective of getting to as near full coverage as
possible and provide the:
a) stature of a national communication of import
b) recognition of the door drop material as important and
needing to be read thoroughly
c) reassurance message
Most aren’t about generating response but in two major
distribution cases we were inviting response:
a) Patient's Charter (through RM – all households) for
more detailed info - 800,000 requests, 3.4% CPR - £1.50
b) Organ Donation (through Freesheet – 16 million) with
editorial support - to join the organ donor register -
500,000 conversions, 3.1% CPC = 80p (the lowest CPC
on record for a govt campaign even today)
185. Case study 2 – getting across detailed/complex
information so people can take the right action
Bowel Cancer – signs and symptoms
Department of Health
Cancer Survival rates in the UK lag behind those in Europe
due to low awareness of symptoms and late presentation to
GP’s. There are higher survival rates if caught early.
Printed material gives the space to get the details of the
message across with the TV highlighting the issue.
Inserts in suitable press titles and magazines.
30 Face to face events with a high footfall of C2DE 55+.
The teams, which included one nurse, had c4,500
conversations and shared the same printed info used as
an isert. 140 people had symptoms and planned to make
an appointment with a GP. 92% of people visiting the
stand felt they were confident about identifying
symptoms, compared to just 61% before the event.
Over 2.37 million leaflets were distributed to
stakeholders and the public through direct mail (Publicity
Register)
The pilot was a success and is being rolled out.
186. Case study 3 – information you can
‘keep and refer to at time of need’
NHS 111 Pilot –
Department for Health
A new service enabling the public to quickly
access medical help in non-emergency situations.
But you only need to know about it at time of need
which might not be at the time of the marketing =>
need for something that can be retained.
A door to door campaign with 731,000 leaflets
were distributed to all households falling with the
three pilot areas.
Those who had seen the communications were
much more likely to be able to describe the service
accurately (61% comms recognisers vs 16% non
recognisers). Analysis from the Evaluation team
showed that awareness increased in line with door
drop distribution. And it promoted calls too as a
proportion of the audience did have an immediate
need.
The results proved so effective that doordrop is a
key element of media plans for future roll-out.
187. Case study 4 – not everyone is ‘on-line’
FSA – Money Made Clear
Information specifically targeting the financially
vulnerable. Two pilot tests with both door-drops and
inserts being used in the North East and North West
regions alongside TV, Radio and F2F
After the door drop the pilot areas became much
more responsive. Both the door drop and insert (TV
listings and women’s magazines) better prompted
people to call the service (rather than go on-line)
and more importantly served to contextualise the
service and give people a reason to call.
A piggy back ‘earned’
insert into bank and
building society
mailings also proved
very effective.
