ParcelPush Pty Ltd adds Unaddressed Mail Services

24/10/2017

0 Comments

 
LetterboxPush.com.au - a division of ParcelPush Pty Ltd has added unaddressed mail services powered by AusPost to its service portfolio, after many advertising clients requested nation-wide letterbox services.

"Unadressed Mail allows us to also reach locked-up office buildings or apartment blocks, which we previously weren't able to reach through our own network of posties." says Craig Morris, one of the directors of the business. "Previously we operated our GPS-tracked services in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, but now we are able to reach 11.3m letterboxes across the country", he continues.

ParcelPush Pty Ltd took the logical step to also utilise its printing and logistics capabilities, which completes a 360° service for advertisers that would like to try unaddressed mailings without going through the hassle of applying, lodging, labelling and distributing the collateral themselves. All steps are taken care of by the experienced LetterboxPush team without additional costs.

5 lessons learned in Australian insert marketing

23/5/2016

0 Comments

 
  1. CREATIVE: Sometimes a thick and fancy brochure with loads of product images in it converts less good then a simple double-sided DL flyer. Our secret in designing DL flyers: Most of the time, less is more. Keep it simple stupid and try not to make your creative to text heavy, but focus on one or two key reasons WHY consumers should use your product. We even have one advertiser that gets great conversion rates by heaving us print a simple white peace of paper as a flyer with a black colored hand-written note on it and a number to call. Think outside of the box. Be different. Yes, colors and faces of happy people work most of the time! Try to avoid too many font types (3 should be enough including the small font for the fine print) and maximize the size of your key message. Don't forget your logo of course: There is no branding value without a logo plus a clear call-to-action is always helpful. We also advise our clients to change their creatives at least twice every quarter to keep consumers "entertained", since some consumers will receive more than one insert for sure over time. Most advertisers run dozen of different creatives at the same time... Use a graphics designer who really gets your customers and not just any random one you find on the web.

  2. OFFER VALUE: We get the question a lot, if a $ offer works better than %... In the end the answer is only given through statistical relevant AB testing that we usually run for our clients, BUT after talking to hundreds of advertisers and consumers plus having run thousands of campaigns, I reckon a solid $XX OFF would always work. Simple formula: The higher the coupon code offer the higher the conversion. We ran $100 wine vouchers and guess what: They converted like crazy. But please do the math to see what you can afford, what cohort you are looking at and what the customer lifetime value is in order to calculate a proper $ off value that gets you a decent CPA counting in our premium CPMs as well with a decent ROI. A fancy $35 voucher is not worth much if your customers churn after redeeming it - especially in subscription-based business models. We also recommend to make the dollar value really large and visible taking up over 30% of the space of the front. Give it at least the dimensions of a dollar note. The more it feels like money the better. Please make sure your offer is at least valid for 3 month if you work with us, since the different distributors we work with all have different speeds in pushing out your parcel inserts and you would want to make sure that there are at least 2-3 weeks left in the offer time frame after the last parcel inserts left the warehouses.

  1. MEASURING: We strongly advise to use unique and simple landingpage URLs for each insertion campaign also for AB testing purposes in order to measure the conversion from "inserts delivered" to "clicks" plus unique coupon codes to measure the conversion rate from "clicks" to "redemption" plus you would want to include some sort of a signup / opt-in on the landingpage to at least capture an email even without a code redemption, so that the conversions from "clicks" to "email leads" show you a good cost per lead ratio for your marketing spend as well. If your IT team is swamped, contact us and we will set it up for you.

  2. AB TESTING: We often get advertisers that want us to run "AB tests" with creatives that look complete different, but what is the point, really? Of course we will find out which one converts better, but we wouldn't really be able to conclude why it worked better, if all elements of the creative were different. AB tests should have ideally only one dimension / element that differs and that is being tested in the test, e.g. different headline versions, different facial shot, different background color, different AUD value, but the rest needs to stay the same... The most popular insertion AB test we run for our clients is Distributor A vs. Distributor B with exactly the same flyer and that makes sense. That is really what we are here for anyways: To optimise the campaigns of the advertisers and to find the perfect distribution channel mix within our network, which brings us to the last and most important point:

  3. DISTRIBUTORS: This one is huge and it is the key value proposition of ParcelPush... Which distribution partner to choose!? Which ones have competitive constraints? How to best match target demographics!? How to align the offer with the product shipped!? How to organise the logistics!? How to make the most out of the moment when the consumer opens the box? How to create a 1+1=3 effect using the advertisers strong brand and the brand of the distribution partner delivering the ad within their box!? For most of our large distribution partners such as Aussie Farmers, Kogan, THE ICONIC, StyleTread, Catch, OzSale, DealsDirect, Quickflix, Peppermayo etc. we have now created a branded premium envelope that carries up to 6 partner offers in it. On the outside it says something like this: "DELIVERING SHOE HAPPINESS PLUS A SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU" or "EXCLUSIVE OFFERS FROM FRIENDS"! Customers love this extra treat and it reaches them in a very positive moment: When opening the box with a new product.Typically the advertisers share their product marketing strategy, client demographics and goals with us upfront and we then work out the ideal distribution mix to get the campaign or the AB testing started plus we then vary it over time. In the end however all of our distribution partners reserve the right to pre-approve any creative that goes into their boxes, which is very important despite us paying money to them. Most of the time, we get it right in one go though. Once we found the perfect match, our advertisers typically keep re-booking with us using campaigns in 50,000 increments. Although many choose to advertise with us throughout the whole year within their favorite distributors, we typically enforce a one month break after each campaign with a particular distributor, in order to keep the envelope interesting and engaging.

17/3/2014

Many businesses in Australia still use classical marketing KPIs like clicks, CPA, unique visits or page views... all of which are vanity metrics that do not reveal anything about the health and efficiency of a business. Instead businesses should use actionable metrics like conversion rates and efficiency factors to analyse whether or not a marketing channels performs well. At ParcelPush we always do AB testing based on actionable metrics and we encourage our network partners to UTM tag the whole customer journey to see what value is created during each step... In additional actionable metrics help to establish a fair attribution model and to analyse how leads from channel A converted in a channel B, C or D... At Ad Tech Sydney on 18th March 2014 we presented the attached presentation. Please contact bjorn@parcelpush.com.au in case you would like to receive further excel calculators or attribution model readings in PDF format and we are happy to send it to you.

Package Inserts are a proven advertising form to grab Customer’s attention

26/8/2013

1 Comment

 
Effective promotional measures contribute significantly to the success of a business  when they reach the right audience. However, many consumers feel annoyed by advertising. No wonder - when surfing the internet customers see banners flashing on all corners of the screen, which makes it difficult to focus on the content of the website. If you come home at night and empty your mailbox, you probably have difficulties in finding something interesting among the many leaflets and free newspapers. Or if you are relaxing in front of the TV after work to watch your favourite movie, most likely it will be interrupted every 20 minutes by commercials.


Many people simply do not pay attention to advertising and Advertisers ask themselves - “How can I reach my target audience more effectively?  How can I  ensure that the customer does not feel bothered by my advertising, but picks it up positively?”


A particularly eye-catching form of advertising are package inserts. Companies place their promotional material as inserts into the boxes of mail-order or online retailing companies. Key benefits of this method of advertising are, that the advertising hits the parcel receiver and potential customer in a positive mood which already increases the conversion rate. The reason for this is quite simple: The consumer has ordered something he or she would like to have and is happy about the package, which is why the content of the box gets observed in every detail – a bit like Christmas.


Since package inserts can be adapted by specific selection criteria for the target group on the basis of the ordered goods, the probability is high that the advertised offers within the package match the interest of the receiver. The precise localization of the target group creates an advantage for the advertiser as well, who hardly needs to worry about wastage. Customers also value the relevancy of advertising, especially if it adds value to the product they just received.

To achieve the greatest impact through a ParcelPush, you should consider the following:

1. Target Group

Advertise through parcel inserts, as if you offer someone a relevant coupon or sample that is relevant to what they are receiving from a store - a woman who has just bought a month's supply of  Nappies will probably not react too well to an offer of a car subwoofer...

It is important to know your target audience well and to know where they shop online, which the ParcelPush team is more than happy to work out with you. In addition to the mandatory socio-demographic data and their socioeconomic characteristics, personality factors and their communication behaviour provide valuable background information.

2. Form of Advertising

The variety of different advertising materials is huge: flyers, coupons, product samples, giveaways, stickers… endless options. While the success of each advertising medium depends on the target group, a few general statements can be made:  Simple Flyers are not grabbing enough attention in most cases (see best-practices here). Product samples and giveaways are always more successful in stimulating the customer and often remain in the customers memory for a long time “I owe them something”, which often leads to a purchase. However, they are lacking a call-to-action and work best in conjunction with a voucher. Vouchers or coupons are best suited to make a promotional statement. It is no surprise that coupons with a fixed value, such as a discount of $15 AUD are more popular than those that promise a percentage discount, because the price advantage is more obvious to the customer although the actual percentage discount may be worth more in the end.

3. Design

Well designed inserts are the perfect business card for a company. A clear layout, the proper placement of the heading and meaningful images plus a large dollar value provide the best results (read our previous blog post). Warm background tones convey a positive feeling - especially when they are printed on high quality paper, which gives a feeling of quality and desire. Also the print quality is essential which is why ParcelPush works with one of the best printers in Sydney. Blurred letters and blurred prints always look unprofessional.

4. Distribution Channel Partners

ParcelPush selects and manages the right Distribution Channel Partners with the right target audiences including quality control such as impromptu warehouse visits and test orders. We also conduct competitive analysis for both the Advertiser and Distribution partner in order to prevent marketing collaterals from going into boxes with competing products.

5. Reporting and Analytics

Performance is everything. Anyone who spends money on advertising would like to know what he/she gets for their advertising dollars. Our performance reviews include demographics, distribution and conversion data.

A very practical way to check the performance of the campaign, even in real time, can be achieved through the use of dedicated coupon codes or URLs. Thus, the success of the action may be directly identified. Especially if the campaign runs across various distribution partners and  the use of separate codes and URLs is always recommended.
