How to test effectively? • Work-out your required samples sizes and model response before testing • If you get < 2000 responses, difficult to start drawing conclusions • Implication that B2B testing can be quite a challenge • Set up the right system/processes to track response • This is where most testing campaigns fall down • Do not switch off common sense/business intuition • Purity of testing very attractive/academically satisfying for highly analytical work environments • Some media not suited for testing on a single publication/mail-shot • Variability of press inserts and press is very high • Implication is to test longitudinally • Data over longer periods of time probably more insightful • Implication for search engine marketing? • …………………….
Multichannel-Marketing • More new channels in the last years (i.e. Second Life) • Identify channels that are used by the client • High correlation between main channels (ecc-Study 2006) Integrated communication, the combination of Offline and Online communication leads to market share No customer is using just one channel! (i.e. multi step concept LexisNexis)

How do Direct Marketing Media work from a consumer Perspective?
What is effecting the behaviour of consumers in 2007? • Busyness • Cognitive overload
Cognitive Overload • 20th Century: clutter • 21st Century: cognitive Overload • You can’t cut through clutter because clutter not really relevant anymore… • But you can overcome cognitive overload
What is effecting the behaviour of consumers in 2007? • Busyness • Cognitive overload • Cognitive lock-in
Cognitive Lock-in • “Stickiness” of internet bank customers higher than non-internet users • Same is true of the physical world (e.g. supermarkets loose business when they re-arrange things) • Implications for customer retention activities: keep things comfortable and familiar, manage change carefully
What is effecting the behaviour of consumers in 2007? • Busyness • Cognitive overload • Cognitive lock-in • Post-Literacy
The 21st Century Direct Marketing Media paradox • How to adapt a very much verbal medium to an increasingly post-literate culture?
What is effecting the behaviour of consumers in 2007? • Busyness • Cognitive overload • Cognitive lock-in • Post-Literacy • Consumer concerns

STRESS STRESS STRESS
As a result of stress… • Brand-literacy is key, especially, in customer communications…brand loyalty is a stress-reduction strategy on the part of consumer • Communications must be clear, simple, straightforward, direct and most of all iconic: stress compromises attention spans
