GO LIVE ; INVOLVE CONSUMERS
#DMAPrint

The problems with traditional testing…


One pack fits all



Not cost effective to segment



Control pack is very difficult to beat



Few tests a year ( 2 or 3 )



Many new initiatives fail

You might know what works but not why – so what do you learn as a
marketer from this for your other campaigns?




Therefore off line DM as a channel is not as effective as it might be.
#DMAPrint

Speed is key

It’s about being able to react to changing markets and audiences fast –
rapid learning, gaining an understanding in just days, not months and
months...

#DMAPrint

Chris Combemale
Executive Director DMA

”The lengthy time it takes to learn and the cost
of live testing has a negative impact on the
effectiveness of offline Direct Marketing.
The advent of the internet (and specifically panel based
research) means it is no longer necessary to wait months to
discover which creative approach, envelope or incentive will
work best...”
