Observations and Conclusions • Despite the fact that the pack did not include an offer or deadline, the response rate in the 8-week measured sales period was very good (2.85% for all Pantene products and 1.36% for Pantene AL.) • 9465 new Pantene buyers were achieved from this mailing who should repeat purchase. This will make the campaign profitable over the long-term • The mailing stimulated sales across the Pantene brand. • The inclusion of an offer would have improved response. • The inclusion of the sample sachets had a positive impact on sales (+15%). • Because there was no direct offer to buy from Clicks, the mailing could have prompted customers to buy Pantene from any retail store. This sales impact cannot be measured. • This mailing will have done an additional brand building job that will be realised over time with further sales.

Recommendations • For maximum return on investment from a ClubCard direct mailing we recommend: • inclusion of an offer (Randsoff, points, competition, etc.) for in-store redemption • an expiry date to drive urgency. • 2. Future mailings could include tests. These could take the form of: • different offers (different rands off values; points; competitions, etc.) • With and without a brochure • support the mail pack by using additional supporting Clicks channels around the same mailing period.
