Part 2 - Pathfinder tracking / measurement & timings
Definitions of methodologies
Tracking of distribution is the analysis of the effectiveness of door drop distribution and direct mail
to reach the set KPIs* for delivery. This works for all media channels (chosen sites for 6 sheet posters
etc) as well as no cost media (using signed dockets, back-checks, and independent research samples).
Measurement of the awareness, understanding and re-assurance of KPIs is the regular analysis of
each individual migration by exchange area and clusters using independent research companies.
Measurement is also employed to compare the effectiveness of the different media mix for each
migration (measurement is also used to validate the test methodologies of doorstep face to face
research vs. telephone research).
Evaluation of media tests and the methodologies used is to assess the cost effectiveness and
incremental increases for each test undertaken. There is an interim evaluation in October (for any media
fine tuning) and a final evaluation report in December.
* Key Performance Indicators
Measurement process for all media tests per exchange area
• Measure awareness as well as understanding & re-assurance with “residents” per exchange area (also for SMEs*per exchange area).
• Using independent research companies (research international; stepcheck) on the doorstep interviews and telephone to establish the most effective media mix of communications (SMEs telephone & email).
• To establish the incremental cost per additional increases in awareness levels.
• To establish learnings for use in the rollout stage of switched-on.
*Small Medium Enterprises of under 250 employees , single site businesses only
Measurement process no cost media
• First phase
Call centre to contact all venues to check:
– Material was received.
– Material was displayed.
– Length of time on display.
– Level of public enquiry.
• Second phase
Measure recall with “residents” per exchange area (via Stepcheck and Research
International) to establish the most effective types of venues for roll-out
communication.
N.B. latent awareness may already exist due to scale of project and prior
press coverage.
Timelines for tracking/measurement and evaluation
A. Tracking & measurement for KPI’s:
1. Decide on research agency and appoint. = 2nd July
2. First fieldwork for Treharris (migration w/c 6th Aug). = 13th -14th Aug
3. First rolling KPIs report per exchange. = 22nd Aug
4. Next rolling KPIs report Ferndale/Tonyrefail (w/c 13th Aug). = 29th Aug
B. Monthly measurement rolling reports:
August 07 = 33,611 migrated HH’s. = w/c 17th Sep
September 07 = 19,446 migrated HH’s. = w/c 15th Oct
C. Media effectiveness & methodology evaluation report:
Preliminary media mix performance report. = w/c 17th Sep
Final evaluation report. = w/c 3rd Dec
Appendix
Rationale for media selection & example maps of media by exchange area /exchange cluster
What we are recommending
Local press colour advertising
Format
• Half page colour.
– Stands out in cluttered environment.
– Only weekly frequency therefore need higher impact to cut through.
Titles selection
• Ideally only paid for titles would be included in selections because of higher
quality, better readership & recall.
• However South Wales has very few paid for newspaper titles.
• When targeting at micro level often the only option is a free, weekly title.
• These titles then need to be used to cover exchange areas with minimal
wastage.
Recommended media - outdoor 6 sheets & 48 sheet advans
Formats• 6 sheets
- Most prevalent format.- Lower production and media costs.- More likely to be positioned in high traffic areas; Bus shelters, town centres, high streets.
• 48 sheet advans- Where other micro-media coverage is very poor.- Benefits:
- Mobile media can cover each postcode of the area required.
- High visibility, can locate at high traffic areas.
- High streets, town centres, large supermarkets, trading estates.
Timings• Activity to run: One week prior to switchover and week of switchover.• Where possible dependent on posting dates of outdoor.
*Leaflets which are displayed in public places in dispensers for people to take one.
No cost recommended media coverage
• A3 & A2 size posters for indoor display in local partner organisations with
frequent residential access/visitors.
• Take one* (run-on) leaflets and dispensers.
• These will be maximised in the Pathfinder area as they have potentially the
lowest cost per reach if used effectively.
No cost media opportunities
• The objective is to establish the most effective venues in terms of awareness generation for UK roll-out.
• Public venues supplying community news have been targeted, offering a free media opportunity.
• The venues identified for testing have agreed in principal to display the collateral, subject in some cases to content approval and relevance to community.
• Each venue will be sent a pack directly, containing 2 posters, 100 leaflets and a dispenser.
Media booking considerations
• Exact costs and volume for 6 sheets are still to be negotiated.
• When buying/“cherry picking” outdoor sites we must first negotiate them out
of the packages they are normally sold in.
– Breaking up packages is not ideal for media owners and negotiation of
this can only take place once we have agreed that this activity is to go
ahead.
• Advan volume has been recommended based on cost efficiency level.
– I.e. number of days that advan is in area will depend on the number of
POTS in that sector .
