Blue Star Direct Brand Colors
Gaming – World Cup Campaign

Background

Our client is part of Australia’s premier gambling and entertainment group. An opportunity became apparent to grow revenue by targeting dormant accounts, leveraging on the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Challenge

The campaign objective was to reactivate dormant accounts. Historically our client utilised email as their primary marketing channel. However, with this campaign they knew that they needed to really cut-through and engage with lapsed customers to re-activate their accounts.

Solution

Direct Mail was selected as the channel to drive the level of engagement needed to hit the ambitious campaign targets. The creative consisted of an A4 variable offer letter printed on Blue Star DIRECT’s High Speed Continuous Colour printer along with a personalised full colour digitally printed ticket with the corresponding offer. 80,000 lapsed customers were mailed.

Results

The DM campaign achieved conversion rates as high as 53.4%, with an average conversion rate of 21% across all five segments. A conversion was measured as a re-activated account. Our clients CRM Campaign Manager says “Blue Star DIRECT provided a brilliant concept for our World Cup Direct Mail campaign within a very short time frame. Though we requested a number of visual and data changes (some at the last minute), Blue Star DIRECT were more than accommodating and ensured any delays were mitigated. The high conversion rate reflected the efforts Blue Star DIRECT put into our campaign.”

During a high profile crisis response project involving a global brand, the logistical challenges of communicating with customers became apparent during a fast-paced, uncertain environment and legally sensitive corporate crisis. We engaged Blue Star DIRECT to assist in a rapid response campaign that involved printing, collating and sending high-quality communications and fragile packages to customers. Their professionalism in managing this difficult project was second-to-none.

Crisis Management organisation - Project Manager

We have worked with Blue Star DIRECT for many years across a wide range of mailings; from stylised campaign DMs to BAU communications. What really makes them stand out is the level of service they provide and their advanced knowledge of data. The people genuinely care about their clients and the quality of work, and they’re always responsive and highly professional. Our data is complex; requiring sophisticated programming and Blue Star DIRECT have been consistent in providing clear and accurate DM communications for our donors/customers.

Charity organisation

I have always found Blue Star DIRECT staff helpful and very efficient. Having several thousand files on site with Blue Star DIRECT means that in emergency situations it necessitates a request for file to be scanned urgently. They respond quickly and regularly exceed my expectations. Similarly whenever we query any scanned documents they are very responsive to investigate and provide us answers and or solutions. I can recommend their services and would be more than happy to talk to any prospective clients.
