Campaign Planning and Development
• Setting objectives and strategies
– Categories:
• Market penetration (increase usage or market share)
• Market extension (find new user groups or enter new segments)
• Product development (new products or services)
• Diversification (find new markets and products, discover new strategies)
– Examination of different marketing strategies in place:
• Product strategy
• Pricing strategy
• Distribution strategy
• Promotion strategy
Defining the Campaign Strategy
• Who to target?
– Retention strategy: focusing on existing customers
– Acquisition strategy: concentrating on getting new customers
– Mixed strategy between retention-acquisition: targeting existing and new customers at the same time
– Ideally the company should target its most profitable customers (often done through LTV and/or RFM analysis)
Retention Strategy
• Develop loyalty from the existing customers, via a
strong relationship or via superior quality or service
• Develop tailor made products for the needs of existing customer profiles
• Sell additional products to existing customers (cross-selling)
• Sell a superior product (with more features or additional services) to customers who already use similar products (up-selling)
• Merchandise different brands from different categories to the same customer (cross-merchandising)
Customer Acquisition Strategy
• If company wants to sell the same product to new customers: target “prospects” based on the profile and behavior model of existing customers
• If company wants to offer different products to new customers: develop new markets
Customer Retention and Acquisition Strategies
Allocate resources between existing and new customers
Retention Strategy: Keep existing customers
Market decisions:
-Segment your customers by
lifetime value-Retain your best customers-Develop one-to-one marketing
Product/Service decisions:-Develop relationship marketing-Retain your clients with superior
quality service-Develop tailor-made products-Cross-sell and up-sell-Cross-merchandise
Acquisition Strategy: Attract new customers
Market decisions:-Target the customers based on
the model of existing customers
-Develop new markets
Product decisions:-Highlight your price/ product offer-Have a clear positioning on the
market-Develop attractive branding-Give incentives to add initial
value to the new customer
Identifying Customer Segments
• Customer segments: Homogenous groups of individuals that have similar tastes, want and needs with respect to the company’s products or services
• Groups: Existing customers, prospects and defectors
• Identification by:
– Purchase behavior
• Recorded in the CRM database
• Allows the marketer to segment by product need and by Life Time Value
– Profile data
• Relate the individual customer to his or her response to past campaigns
• Allows implementation of a ROI-driven marketing
• Identifies tastes, needs and preferences of customer
• Can be used to target new customers accurately
Developing the Communication Strategy
• Marketing communications (marcom): Targeted interactions between company and its customers and prospects, using one or more media
• Can use a single approach (e.g. a direct mail) or combine several approaches (e.g. direct mail with advertising in television, radio and newspapers)
• Integrated marketing communications (IMC): management and organization of all marketing communication tools (media, messages, promotions and channels)
• CRM database system: stores information about customer and prospect preferences, allows firm to focus marketing activities toward specific targets - effective use of IMC
Communication Strategies
Strategy Description
Generic strategy No distinction between brands. Emphasis on category need rather than brand awareness (example: Promotions for a product category)
Pre-emptive strategy A generic claim is made about the superiority of the company’s brand
Unique selling proposition (USP)
Emphasizes superiority of the brand based on a unique feature or benefit.
Brand image strategy Relies on development of mental or psychological associations through the use of signs, symbols and images.
Resonance Strategy Attempts to recall events or feelings by evoking meanings, experiences, thoughts or aspirations that are relevant to target audiences
Affective or emotional strategy
Attempts to invoke involvement and emotion, with a powerful message.
Informational strategy
Based on the view that an important element of the creative theme is to convey info
Push Promotional strategy
Focus a promotional effort in manufacturers of goods and services to encourage the trade channel members to stock, promote and sell its products
Pull promotional strategy
Focus in encouraging end customers and consumers to demand goods and services
Communication Strategies (contd.)Positioning strategies
Positioning by attribute, product characteristic or consumer benefit
Brand is perceived to be better than others in features emphasized by Marketing communications
Positioning by price/quality Positioning can be sought in high price/high quality, prestige positions, low price/acceptable quality positions
Positioning by use or application
Segmentation and targeting can be carried out based on usage occasion
Positioning by product user Focuses on the requirements of target customers and consumers
Positioning with respect to product category
Rather than competing with another brand, a brand or product category might be positioned against another product category. The competitive focus is placed on substitutes
Positioning against a competitor
Brands promoted with understanding of relative competitive position for the target audience
Cultural positioning Positioning by cultural reference, where the brand is clearly associated with a particular culture, country, religion, ethnic group or sense of heritage or tradition

Retention Media Acquisition Media
Minicase: Pro-Mark- Example of Media-mix for an Acquisition and Retention Strategy
• $10-million drumstick maker in Houston; developed database with info. on
end-users by pursuing print media strategy in different specialized magazines
• Advertising/marketing campaign strategies:
– Recruiting test-marketers: • Ad offering free product samples in return for customer feedback
• Respondents' names entered into a database, each received a catalog with sample
• Achieved 100% response rate
– Profiling end users• Ran a simple black-and-white ad asking readers to nominate them to be selected
as the "Not Yet Famous Drummer”
• Contest doubled Pro-Mark's database of names.
– Promoting new products• To promote new autographed drumsticks, coupon allowing readers to buy them
for $5 and enter a contest to win a chance to meet Abbruzzese in person
Developing the Offer
• Offering the customer some kind of incentive that will induce him/her to buy
or to ask the company for more information
• Ranges from a free product sample to price-related incentives or an item providing information on the firm
• Objectives should be to attract new customers or members, obtain repeated
business from existing customers, reactivate lapsed customers, produce
sales leads or acquire new customers
• Record estimate of campaign costs and profitability in the CRM system - used as a “model” to fine-tune the campaign results
Developing the Offer (contd.)
• Questions on campaign costs and profitability:
– What is the product positioning?
– What is the price?
– What is the length of commitment?
– What are the payment terms?
– What are the risk reduction mechanisms?
– How much can they afford to spend on the incentive?
– Which promotion type should be used as an incentive?
– What should be the promotional package?
– Which promotional media should be used?
– Does it involve one-stage or several stages?

Campaign Budget Calculation: Methods
Pre-set Budgeting
• Determine a given year’s marketing expenditure on the basis of what
they spent the year before
Advantages:
– Follow a more or less steady expenditure flow
Disadvantages:
– Last year’s sales not considered, marketing considered as an expense rather than
an investment to boost sales
Budget Calculation Budgeting for an allowable marketing cost (AMC)
• Determine the amount that can be spent on campaign marketing activities,
while preserving the required profit margin
• Potential expenditure is given priority according to its forecast for return on
investment
• Obtained by subtracting the costs (cost of goods + distribution costs) and
the required profit margin from the total sales value
Advantages:
– No pre-set limit to the campaign budget unless a constraint of cash-flow is
imposed, the company can controls costs
Disadvantages: – Many activities are hard to accurately forecast and some activities may not
payback in a given year
Budget Calculation
Budgeting with the competitive parity method
• Equating budget allocation with those of competitors
Advantages:
– Emphasis is on competitor intelligence
Disadvantages:
– Very difficult to be precise as to who the competitors are and what are
their relative sizes
– Different marketing communication strategies for market leaders and for
market followers and budgeting based on parity may not work
– Cannot satisfactorily take into account sudden changes in the competitive
activity or objectives or even the company’s own objectives
Budget Calculation
Budgeting with the objective and task method
• Determining marketing objectives and the marketing communications tasks needed to achieve them
• Budget set by calculating costs of the communication tasks
Advantages:
– Resources expended are limited to the objectives
Disadvantages:
– Implementation difficult because it is not always easy to define the objectives and
to quantify their implementation costs
– Assumes that the relationship between objectives and tasks is
well known and understood
Budget Calculation
Percentage of sales method
• Fixed percentage of turnover allocated to marketing communications
• Marketing communication expenditure directly linked to sales level
• To determine the exact percentage that should be allocated, the company
looks at competitor allocations and industry averages
• To define the turnover the company can look at historic sales
Advantages:
– Incorporates a series of alternatives and allocates costs to the objectives
Disadvantages
– Difficult to determine the percentage of sales that must be allocated
– Competitors may have a small advertising budget and concentrate their
budgets on the sales force, and this would be a deceiving benchmark
Budgeting with Key Performance Indicators
Ratio of sales revenue to the
campaign cost ROI = Sales Revenue / Total promotion
expenseReturn on Investment
(ROI)
Calculated by comparing the
number of buyers with number of responders to the campaign
CR (%) = (number of buyers / number of responders) x 100
Conversion rate(CR)
Ratio of total costs to enquiries
that were converted into sales, net of returns and bad debts
CPS = [Total promotion expense / (total orders- Returns and bad debts)]
Cost per sale (CPS)
Ratio of total campaign costs to total enquiries
CPE = (Total promotion expense / total orders)
Cost per enquiry (CPE)
Ratio of total campaign costs to
number of responses obtained
CPR = (Total promotion expense / number of responses)
Cost per response (CPR)
Relates total cost of promotion
with quantity produced.
CPM = (Total promotion expense / Total quantity) x 1’000
Cost per thousand (CPM)

Budget Calculation
Lifetime Value
• Allows the company to compare returns on alternative marketing expenditures
• Allows comparison of return on expenditure from obtaining business from existing customers or from new ones
Advantages
– Using CRM database information allows the company to predict cost of the campaign
more accurately
– Allocates resources between strategies because it allows comparison between the
returns of alternative marketing campaigns
Disadvantages
– Difficult to keep track of customer values because most companies lack transactional
data from its customers
– Sometimes the strategy that produces highest ROI does not provide the fastest return
and therefore can be disregarded by faster strategies with lower ROI
Testing
• Conducting a comparison between different ways of proceeding with a
campaign
• Test individual campaign elements, other elements remaining constant, and measure the resultant change in the performance of the campaign
• Benefits of testing
– Shows real behavior, as it provides a (close to) real environment in which behavior is validated
– Augments and validates research
– Stimulates creativity
– Protects the company’s greatest asset (the customers): by using only small samples with each test can give customers the “proven offer”
– Minimizes financial risk and avoids costly errors
– Uncovers ways to reduce costs
Variables for Testing
• Key variable: the target audience - in the form of a list of targeted customers and prospects
• Offer variables - prices, incentives, proposition
• The format - physical shape, the “feel”, and the size
• The creative element - the appeal, the tone, and the message
• The media and/or the timing
Performance Measures Tested to Predict Campaign Results
• Response to the campaign, in percentage
– The number of responses obtained divided by the total number of customers
selected will give the response rate, in percentage
– Response rate serves as an indicator of the success that the particular campaign
being tested can achieve
• Campaign profitability
– Performance results allows an estimate for the revenues of the real campaign
– Total campaign costs (expenses of preparing the campaign, testing costs plus
cost of running the campaign) deducted from the revenues, gives a prediction for
the profitability of the campaign
Testing in Different Media • Direct Mail
– Direct marketer controls every aspect of the campaign, including the
timing and the budget
– Testing of all elements possible
• Telemarketing
– In one call session, promotion of a particular product or service,
testing a different script or promotion, etc possible
• Press and Inserts: not as easy and inexpensive as others
– Split-run testing (different versions in different magazines)
– A/B splits (alternative copies in same publications)
– Cross-over test (different elements changed in different messages and
rerun with same audience)
Potential Problems in Testing
• Performing several tests with the same set of customers
• Limited time validity: since customer preferences change over time,
conclusions drawn from tests often short-lived
• Testing the same things all over again
• Optimizing a particular campaign driving the testing rather than
having a successful marketing program
Campaign Execution
• Operational process by which a campaign is implemented
• Implementation and coordination
– The campaign program
– The campaign schedule
– The activity schedule
• Monitoring and fine-tuning
– Revision of planning based on enquiry or orders performance alone.
– Adjustment of the media selection
– Undertaking corrective action if the campaign included a first sequence
of creative and offer testing
Causes of Campaign Failures
• When marketing planning is undertaken at a functional level and does not integrate with other functional areas of the company
• Separating the responsibilities of operational marketing and strategic marketing planning, leading to a divergence of short and long term objectives
• Concern over short-term results at the operational level will make the company
less competitive in the long term
• Top management not taking an active role in marketing planning
• If the degree of formalization of campaign management is not adapted to the
diversity of operations within the company and its size
Analysis and Control
• Evaluates campaign results in light of original objectives and determines campaign level of success or failure
• Measuring campaign results
– Comparing the CPM, CPS, ROI, and the CR with the budgeted KIP
– Back-end performance analysis
• Direct mailing: statement of profit or loss for the campaign promotion
• For a loyalty program: allowable marketing cost and break-even
• Contribution: Campaign costs deducted from the gross margin and resulting value divided by the number of new customers
• New customer lifetime value and attrition rate
– Return on Promotion (ROP)
ROP = [(Contribution – Cost per order) / Cost per order] x 100
Analysis and Control (contd.)
• Response analysis
– Calculates the campaign results up-to-date, projects its final results, as
responses, inquiries and leads, and analyzes these results
– Can be performed with customer and market segments, product lines,
campaigns, offers and promotions, media or advertising agencies
– Responses recorded in CRM database should be summarized by time, i.e., by arrival date
– Results can be analyzed as soon as the first campaign responses are known and eventually can correct the campaign progression
Profile Analysis
• Used to define and compare the profile of campaign responders with the
actual profile of the company’s customers and prospects
• Allows marketers to verify if the initial targeted profile actually corresponds with the responder’s profiles, i.e., if the customer segments were well targeted
• Should be performed at different stages of the campaign
• Considers the input (generally geographic, demographic or psychographic) and clusters names into groups with similar tastes and preferences
• Statistical techniques as automatic interaction detection (AID) and chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) also used in analysis
Campaign Feedback
• Record all relevant data about campaign planning, implementation and results
• Model relationships between data gathered, the controllable variables and campaign results
• Apply this knowledge to future campaigns
Summary
• A successful campaign management process comprises of planning, development,
execution and analysis
• When pursuing a customer retention strategy, ideally the company should target its
most profitable customers (via LTV and/or RFM analyses)
• The CRM database plays a central role in customer segmentation process by providing
information on customer behaviors and profiles, channel preferences and brand
awareness
• Making a campaign budget should be a balance between measurement, financial
calculations, competitive analysis and good judgment
• Testing can accurately predict performance measures like response to the campaign in
percentage and campaign profitability
• Campaign analysis can be done using campaign key performance indicators, by using
back end performance analysis, or profile and response analysis
