PARCEL TRACKING
Giving the people what they want – parcel tracking! More people are shopping online, more parcels are being sent andmore is now expected by the consumer. The delivery experience canmake or break future transactions, and parcel tracking is now central for the consumer – fromproactive notifications to proof of delivery.
We’ll let the stats tell the tracking story:
The take-out – a good tracking experience can lead tomore transactions. There are further benefits for the online retailer too: • Flexibility enabled by tracking – diversion, rescheduling – means more first-attempt deliveries • Tracking reduces number of customer service enquiries by providing full transparency for the consumer • Tracking technology can predict service delivery ‘excursions’, preventing problems arising For growing e-commerce companies, parcel tracking is today a need-to-have. AtWhistl, ourmulti-carrier delivery management approachmeans we can help you offer your customers a diverse range of options and choices related to delivery and tracking.

CUSTOMER Q&A
“Of all the DSAs, Whistl are by far the most responsive and attentive”
SECRETS BEHIND SCOTTS’ SUCCESS Since starting out in Stow-on-the-Wold in 1991, Scotts & Co has become the UK’s premier independent direct retailer. Here Nigel Swabey, Chairman, gives us a fascinating insight into the secrets behind that success.
Q. What do you look for in a supplier? A. We are looking for partners we can trust – suppliers who listen to our concerns and who are sensitive to those concerns, whether it be about the quality of the products they are supplying or the timing of their deliveries. In logistics, it’s not all about price. It’s about your supplier’s sensitivity to your timing imperatives, your needs in terms of mailing supplies and themanagement of order flows. • Accepts MicroSD cards up to 64GB, not included • Nano coated body with IP54 splash resistance • Earphones and charging cradle Q. How doesWhistl support your organisation? A. That’s an easy one. Of all the DSAs (DownstreamAccess Suppliers) Whistl are by far themost responsive and attentive to their clients’ needs. Much as we all love Royal Mail, their retail team is simply not able tomove as fast and are not able to be as responsive or creative in coming up with ideas to resolve tactical challenges. No surnames, but if any Whistl clients have had experience of working with Sharon, Andy or Nick, they’ll know what I mean when I say that it is a pleasure to work with them. I know postal affairs as well as most, but I’m still learning from these guys. And now for something completely different… NEW The Smartest Clamshell Phone on the Market? If you want an easy-to-use mobile phone but like the convenience of a touchscreen, the Touch SMART is the perfect choice for you. This ‘hybrid’ phone combines a physical keypad with a touchscreen for easy access to your phone book, texting, built-in camera etc, so it’s simplicity itself to use. It also as the popular WhatsApp pre-installed, with a special WhatsApp shortcut button above the keypad, so you can instantly message or video-call friends and family. An additional external screen alerts you to incoming phone calls, so you can see who’s calling even w en the phone is shut, and there’s a high-quality 5MP camera.

Q. Please tell us about your business. A. Scotts&Co is adirect catalogue and online retailer.Wehavewhat webelieve is the largest customer databaseof catalogue andonline customers in the country.Wemail about 30million catalogues each year under 5 separate titles,many of which, likeScotts of Stow, arenationally recognisedbrands.We’re just shy of £50million in sales andhave over 4million active customers this year, having grownby over 40%since 2019. Q. What’s thesecretbehindyoursuccess? What setsyourbusinessapart? A. We are passionate about innovation. We search for products that are new, unusual or in some way different to what you’d expect to find in the shops. Products that are problem solvers, time-savers, energy savers. Products which offer great value. We shop the world for new ideas like these that we can introduce to the UKmarket. Q. How has the pandemic affected your business? A. Our business was already growing fast before the pandemic, but in April of 2019, we realised that more than ever, consumers were appreciating the sheer convenience of home delivery. At that
Q. What advice would you give to other business owners? A. If direct mail is part of your media mix, then ‘do themaths!’ Count the source-coded orders you’ve received and then attributeback the ‘match-backs’ to your ad. spend onmailings. That’s all those ‘source unknown’ orders that you’ve received through all other channels and whichmatch back to your mailing file. You domatch back all respondents to your mailing file, right… Right? If a new customer places an order online 30 days after you’vemailed them with a catalogue, themailing was the dominant trigger, not theGoogle ad, the re-marketing ad or the affiliate hit! Sadly, toomany CEO’s aremarching to the drumbeat of the internet and are allowing their onlinemarketing teams to claim credit for orders that were actually generated by mailings, just because the customer chose the company’s website as themost convenient channel for the transaction. At Scotts, some of us have been doing this for over 45 years. We know how to identify the origin of orders and we know that paper is by far themost cost-effectivemedium for generating footfall to retail stores and traffic to websites.
point, we decided to double the print runs on our most famous titles and increased our mailing volumes. This resulted in many weeks last Autumn/Christmas when orders were 80%-90%up on the previous year. In the first quarter of 2021, we are increasingmailings of our catalogues further, with a fourfold increase inmailing volumes to 12.2million.

2020 during the pandemic. They used the opportunity to test reactivation of some of their dormant (up to 12 year dormant) customers and experimented with new prospect mailings. In our case, those test mailings revealed that we can successfully mail millions of additional customers who are clearly keen to hear fromus. We don’t always expect to break-even on our prospect mailings, but smart mailers are guided entirely by ‘mail order maths’. A lower postal cost means a much lower break-even point and thereforemuch bigger mailing volumes. We went for broke and it paid off with even 12-year dormant Scotts customers coming in above break even!

NEWBRAND POSTHUB MAKES MAIL CAMPAIGNS EASY
SIX REASONS TO OUTSOURCE YOUR CALL CENTRE
1. To copewith seasonal peaks Even if you have your own in- house capability, you’ll need overflow at peak times. What’s not to like about a pay-as-you-go resource that gives you extra capacity? 2. To extend your ‘opening hours’ E-commerce operates 24/7 and it’s incredibly helpful to offer ‘out-of-hours’ contact centre services – how about the neatness of 8.00am – 8.00pm, seven days a week? 3. Because you’re too small… Fifty or so calls a day? Is it really worth running your own operation when you can take advantage of a shared resource for a fraction of the cost and hassle?
4. …because you’re too big Call centre taking up space, draining management time and requiring constant investment? Adedicated outsourced team, running on your CRM system and telephony platform, provides a sensible and seamless solution. 5. For a better customer experience You can tell when you’re talking with a well-trained agent, who loves and lives the job. Enough said. 6. Because get it right, and you save time andmoney Otherwise (number 5 above notwithstanding), what’s the point?

Whistl Doordrop Media zeroing in on carbon emissions AdNet Zero is a newadvertising industry initiative, aimed at reducing the carbon impact ofdeveloping, producing and runningUKadvertising to net zeroby 2030. Anot-for-profit initiative led byTheAdvertisingAssociation, the launch wasmarked by the publication of a report setting out the action plan. With extensive interests in both Doordrop Media and direct mail, Whistl is a supporter of the scheme and keen to have a say. Mark Davies, Managing Director ofWhistl Doordrop Media of our Advertising division, is featured in the report, saying: ‘I’mwary that negative and ill-informed perceptions of print media can impact its attractiveness tomarketers. I’m keen to dispel any myths, including the perceptions by some that digital media is ‘cleaner’ than print media, when it must be remembered that the e-waste problem is significant and growing. In 2016 alone, 44.7 million tonnes of e-waste were generated globally.’ Whilst the report does highlight that reducing print can help, it notes that print waste accounts for less than 1% of the carbon footprint of agencies. Notably, 58% of CO2e emissions generated by the ad industry are estimated to be generated by business travel, in particular flights. Mark hadmore to say following publication of the report. ‘The release of this report recognises that the environmental impacts of advertising can no longer go unactioned. I acknowledge the impact wasted print media can have, but through precision targeting, judicious design feedback and reliable distribution, Whistl is minimising direct marketing waste with well-planned, eco-friendly print campaigns.’ 58% OFAD INDUSTRY EMISSIONSAREGENERATED BYBUSINESSTRAVEL 1% LESS THAN 1%ARE DUE TO PRINTMEDIAWASTE
