45. OLG – The Challenges Ahead

46. Regulation - Government
The government has a vision of a huge digital economy powering growth
EC Cookie Directive – regulates the use of personal data stored on computers
ICO has provided guidance:
Implied consent is acceptable
Cannot be hidden in T’s and C’s
It’s all about transparency:
Responders need to be aware of how their personal data will be used
If landing page is part of an advertiser site then they should be made aware of use of
cookies across the site at entry point

47. Regulation – Media and Industry
Increasing focus of media on ‘big business’ practice
Several recent articles on marketing practice
Focus is often on most innovative channels
Industry trade bodies like the DMA and IAB will play huge role in managing public perception
Formation of IAB PR response framework group
Industry self-regulation:
Importance of best practice guidelines
Encouraging innovation

48. Performance Vs Fixed Fee

49. Maximising CPL
CPL relies on inventory being available on a performance basis or working back to
desired publisher KPI:
E-CPC (lead revenue/number of clicks)
E- CPM (lead revenue/number of impressions)
Advertisers often ignore basic marketing principles (‘the ice cream van effect’)

50. Maximising Opportunity
Response variables Conversion variables (PRM)
Creative Channels (email vs tm)
Call to action Process
Offer (sign-up) Contact speed
Landing page Offer (up-sell)
Response optimisation will maximise leads for publishers
E-CPC
E-CPM
Good conversion will maximise ROI for advertisers
ROI
CPA

51. Batch Vs Livefeed
•Same sources
•Same lead volumes
•Only variable is live feed!!

52. Technology – Powering Response
Essentials
•Live reporting
•Variable pricing
•Data feeds
KPI Data
•Validation
•Clicks
•Triggered emails •Leads
•De-duplication •CCR
•Acquisition uploads •Acquisitions
•Security •CPA
•Revenue
•ROI

53. The Social Lead Conundrum
Huge growth - Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest
How do these channels work in context of lead generation?
Response drivers or response amplifiers?
Is a ‘like’ a lead?
Is a ‘follower’ a lead?
Principle of a lead
User generated content
Can create huge uplift
Can reduce quality
How do marketers manage impact of social media on campaigns?

54. The Road Ahead
“You need to know where you have come from to know where you are going!”
Direct marketing principles must be applied to lead generation
Clear idea of objectives
Measurement of KPIs
Test and adjust!
Holistic approach - ePRM
Technology must play a role:
Improving response
Maximising conversion
Real-time measurement

56. Dennis and Online Lead
Generation
Acquiring a new audience of potential subscribers

57. What does online lead generation
mean for Dennis?
• As with a lot of marketing terminology, “online lead
generation” sounds grander than it actually is.
• Put simply, online lead generation is about generating
requests for free issues of our magazines. The aim is to
up-sell these requests to paid subscriptions.
• This is a tried and tested promotion in the ‘offline’ subs
world. OLG takes this a stage further with added
wizardry available to online marketers.

58. How are leads generated?

59. How does it all work?
Step 1: Promote your free issue

Leads can be rejected for the following reasons: rejected

•Email address/phone number is badly formatted or bounces
•The postal address (where provided) does not exist

• The sales team will attempt to up-sell the user to a trial subscription
• Free issue recipients receive further up-sell efforts including emails and further
telemarketing

• Call and email outcomes are fed
live back into the lead database

• Results can then be analysed

• This information is used to

63. Results
So far in 2012:
• 80,000 free issue requests
• Generating 6,500 subscriptions on the first up-sell attempt
• An estimated 2,000 more to come by nurturing the free issue recipients into
subscribers.
And to put that into context:
• That’s at least 25% of all online acquisitions for Dennis as a whole
• For some brands, OLG is our biggest online acquisition method (50%+)
• For The Week, 97% of subscriptions were from new contacts – we’re reaching a
new audience

64. The future
It’s so far so good for Dennis and OLG:
PPA Customer Direct Awards 2010 – Best use of Telemarketing
PPA Customer Direct Awards 2011 – Best use of Data
New Media Age Awards 2011 – Best Media Campaign
But we can do more:
• We’re reliant on telemarketing to convert leads and that can get expensive
• Can we better target our promotions to cut down on waste?
• Can we better nurture our leads after they’ve taken a free issue?
• Will this work for digital subscriptions – iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire etc?
• We need to move beyond seeing OLG as a channel and think about how we
can integrate it into everything we do

65. A sneak preview…
• A little glimpse into our next OLG related project…
