10. What are we talking about?
10
With so many messages
coming from so many
different channels,
we asked consumers what
their preferred channels
were…
11. Preferred channels…
11
We looked at consumer
preferences across
19 different industries,
representing 3 broad
sectors (services, retail, and
non-profit/government),
covering 12
communication channels
Channel preferences were
varied, depending on:
•the industry
•whether or not they were
existing customers
•demographic factors eg.
age
12. Broadly speaking…
12
Mail is a highly desired form of
communication across all
industries and among both
customers and non-
customers.
15. Stronger
preferences
for addressed
channels
where there
are ongoing,
established
relationships

Unaddressed mail
was more accepted
from some
industries than
others…
For example, while
unaddressed
material is preferred
from supermarkets,
it is not as
acceptable from car
manufacturers and
retailers
18. On closer examination…
18
And there were also different
preferences between
existing customers and
potential customers…
19. For example… Preferences for communications from

20. How times change…

Three major themes emerged when the findings from 2008
were compared to those from 2003, namely…
1. Mail has remained relatively strong
2. Preferences for email have grown
3. Higher levels of rejection for all marketing messages
21. Ch ch ch changes…

role and benefits… this
opens up the opportunity
to use them together,
thereby strengthening the
impact of messages

26. Ch ch ch changes…

Customers are more
rejecting of marketing
messages than they were
5 years ago…
27. For example… Percentage of customers preferring no
promotional material from retail businesses

28. Mail in the media landscape…
28
Mail might be popular
amongst consumers, but
marketers don’t seem to
feel the same way.
According to Nielsen… of the
$6.9B media market in Australia,
mail’s share is only 2%. Metro TV and
Metro Press get the lion’s share of
budgets, with 29% and 29% of media
spend respectively.
Source: Nielsen AdEx, March 2009
32. And therein lies the opportunity…
32
Consumers say they prefer
to receive promotional
messages through the
mail…
…and the mail channel
offers marketers an
uncluttered environment
where messages
received are read.
