9. For Marketers, Taking a Conservative Approach to Channel
Investment Is The Rule, Leading to Extended Testing Cycles
As recovery slows, spending shifting back to
retention, signaling lack of confidence
Higher emphasis placed on reporting and
analytics using advanced data tools and
platforms to determine ROI
Marketing technology adoption—focuses on
cross channel integration—beginning with
digital channels
Marketers invest in mobile and social, yet
concerns about ROI and the mix of brand and
direct marketing hinder the move from test to rollout
Source: “Quarterly Business Review” DMA & Winterberry Group, August 2011
10. For Suppliers, First Half Performance Is Driving Increased Investment
in Staffing, Capabilities, M&A—So Far
The majority of suppliers expect higher revenues and
profitability as 2011 continues
With increasing economic uncertainty, staffing and new
capital investment may shift into neutral
Nearly 2/3 of suppliers say sales cycle is either stable
or decreasing, largely due to shifts in buying behavior
A shift in marketer demand is driving investment in
new capabilities (organic and via M&A)
M&A activity picking up: 1H 2011 M&A in the
marketing, information and digital media/ commerce
sectors up triple digits (value and volume) from 1H 2010

13. 2012: A Challenging Economic Outlook
Slow U.S. GDP growth continues: forecasts
predict 2% for the year¹
• U.S. unemployment rate likely to stay above 9%
• Gas prices, fiscal tightening, and European
sovereign debt weigh down the 2012 outlook²
• Odds of a renewed recession put at 1 in 2³
• Reduced confidence in U.S. economy as S&P
downgrades U.S. credit rating and Moody’s lowers
U.S. economic outlook through 2012

14. Direct Mail: A Tale of Two Classes
While standard mail improves, shrinking first class mail pushes USPS over the edge
First Class Mail Standard Mail
First Class Mail volume down 25% Second year of solid growth; 1H
since 2006, and predicted to decline 2011 Standard Mail volume up
an additional 48% by 2020 nearly 4% from SQLY
Falling through the floor due to email Since Standard Mail generates one-
and other digital media substitution third the profit of First Class Mail, it
cannot shore up the bottom line
“ The USPS is so low on cash that it will
not be able to make a $5.5 billion
payment due this [September] and may
have to shut down entirely this winter
unless Congress takes emergency
action to stabilize its finances.
–The New York Times “
alone
Our situation is extremely serious. If Congress
doesn’t act, we will default.

U.S. Postmaster General

15. Direct Mail’s Place in the Marketing Mix Has Changed
Direct mail moving from a direct-response-only approach to key player in the
multichannel world
The purpose of direct mail has shifted… …from direct order….
“The catalog is great driver for sales online and in
stores. We’re not publishing with the idea of
creating an [independent] direct marketing
business. It’s the idea of driving traffic into stores
and giving the sense of a brand.
…to driving sales online or in-store

Senior Manager of Sales and Circulation
at Crate & Barrel

16. Direct Mail 2012: No Real Catalyst for Continued Strong Growth
Continued erosion (substitution) of first class advertising, statement and
informational mailings will hold down retention mail growth while acquisition fights
an uphill battle for marketers’ share of mind and wallet

2012’s forecast predicts anemic 1-2% growth rate

Privacy, Data Security and Data Rights Management
Consumers have the right to know that their information
“ is being collected and used by companies in a safe and
legitimate way in order to ensure that individuals are

Outlook 2012
What happened in 2011?
2012 Channel Check: The
evolution of direct and digital
Changing Data Landscape
9for12: What You Should
Consider for 2012
33. 9for12
It is the (another) Year of Data: Marketers will begin to approach
1
the growing Big Data problem, developing plans on how to
manage and activate data across channels. Early adopters begin
to implement solutions including integrating online DMPs with
offline prospect and CRM data sets to manage the conversation
with disparate audiences across devices
2 Content is the new black: Content, recognized as the primary
driver of engagement (along with the data that informs it),
marketers and their agencies begin to wrap their arms around
content marketing, including the continual creation, curation
(finding, organizing, sharing), editing and active management – in
order to organize content across channels and devices – and
content is just another “unstructured” form of big data to deal with
34. 9for12
3 Mobile: recognizing that mobile is about devices (tablets,
smartphones, computers), location and intent, marketers accelerate
the transformation of web sites from PC design (currently 80% of sites
are PC only) to device specific sites – tablet sites, smartphone sites
and PC sites.
4 Cross digital media buying search, display and email), driven by first,
second and third party data experiences significant performance
improvements as attribution solutions mature and are better able to
identify the impact (engagement relationships) across
channels…driving more digital spend
35. 9for12
5 Improved marketing technology stacks, assembled via acquisition
in 2010-2011 by large tech players (IBM, Adobe, Google) release the
first sets of integrated products, primarily for enterprise marketers,
that can automate the marketing process from campaign planning
through execution and attribution.
6 USPS postal crisis is put to rest as the administration and congress
accept a portion of the recommendations put forth by the postmaster
general including a reduction in post offices and SCFs, though the 6
day week is more likely to remain in place. Force reductions will
complemented by an agreement on a partial pension reform
36. 9for12
7 The pace of M&A accelerates in the ad tech (digital display) sector
along with continued agency consolidation of those with mobile/social
specialties. Emerging attribution providers and data companies see
renewed interest to complement the push towards digital cross-
channel integration. Smaller ad tech firms that have not gained
traction experience reduced funding forcing asset sales and closures.
8 Privacy regulation, mostly quiet in 2011, moves back into the
Washington conversation as legislators continue to examine the
impact of EU privacy laws enacted this year. Probable outcomes
include data (breach) security legislation and some form of baseline
privacy rules around sensitive information – though not a Do Not
Track (DNT) bill.
37. 9for12
9 And finally – the economy. If the US goes into a recesssion it will
negatively impact all measured media channels along with direct mail
spend while slowing (not stopping) the rate of growth in the digital
sector. Marketers will stick to longer test periods as spend tilts back
towards retention marketing again.
A neutral of low level of growth should result in the forecast
envisioned in this presentation. Any higher growth rate will benefit
TV, direct mail (in addition to the bump they get with the election) and
the digital media channels – while stabilizing magazine and
newspaper ad spend..
