There are visual correlations between

web-visits and media spend

There is a clear visual correlation between spend and web-visits, with increases in spend coinciding with increases in activity, particularly when TV is running.

• SMS boosts, although currently low volume leads on cost-effectiveness at £1.21 per donation gained

• Routine telephone reminders generate high volume at £5/donaton

• Appointment-Now calls have similar CPD and produce medium volume

• Reactivation calls are more expensive at £9 per donation – but targeted at high value groups

Performance metrics - New Evaluation Strands

• Web Analytics and online (i-Level)• Response/Registration/Stock data (NHSBT MRA)• Media spend & recruitment (COI/Artemis)• Developed an integrated supply performance dashboard for stock

management in 2009• - The dashboard shows how performance changes in key areas (response

rate, - appointment keeping, rejection, marketing support) contribute to collection and stock variation

• - The aim is to aid diagnostics of past supply problems and identify upcoming potential shortfalls over the next 6 months

Different approaches - results need collating into a single, integrated report and dashboard (next phase)

Initial Conclusions• There is clear correlation between media spends and responses

• The base level of response is also high, suggesting:

• Underlying brand equity

• Regional and operational marketing activity not covered by the analysis

• Online media performs well across the board - delivering recruits at low cost and indexing highly in urban areas

• Web TV has been disappointing, but hard to measure. Will be reviewed prior to re-booking in Phase 2

• TV appears to drive response more to web than phone

• Inbound calls are a good leading indicator given their close correlation with forward appointment bookings.

6 to 4 months. – an additional 200 donations / yr.

Utilization of social mediaBACKGROUND:The Australian Red Cross Blood Service entry into social media began in 2009 with listening and observing. For 2010 we intend to apply social mediastrategically to ensure integration with campaign plans. Radio Star (a national youth radio competition) has begun the process of utilising relevantsocial media platforms to communicate our message.

OBJECTIVE: The main objective for using social media is to increase our message reach. With so many brands and messages, it is increasingly important to deliver our

message through networks that our target audience trust. The platforms are: Facebook: the most popular social network in Australia with over 8 million members (57% female and 43% male). Twitter: the microblogging site that has grown 1,150% in 2009. It has 800,000 Australian members (57% male and 43% female). The audience is more

mature audience: 29% are 35-44; 18% 45-54. Twitter has a retention rate lower than Facebook (40% compared to 70% for Facebook). YouTube: video sharing site where users upload own content and view/ share and comment on other user generated content (UGC), TV ads, TV shows,

sports highlights, movie trailers and music videos. The site attracts 6.17 million visitors a month. MySpace: A community that lets you share photos, stories and interests with friends. It had 2.3 million Australian members (59% female and 41% male).

Under 25 year olds represent 48% of members. Foursquare: A new local marketing tool which has increased its uptake by 109% in the US in the last 30 days. It posts messages and offers to users based

on their location, enabling a business to be top of mind when users are in the vicinity. It has been recently introduced into Australia with a growing network in Sydney and Melbourne.

CONTENT/USAGE: We plan to use the following platforms as follows: Facebook:. A Facebook fan page has been set up for the National radio competition. We are encouraging influencers to join the page and spread our

message to their fans/members. We also have two Facebook groups that were developed by supporters. We monitor these sites and provide updated and messages and images for the groups to use. An official page will be launched this year

Twitter: Our Twitter account has 261 members to-date, and it growing steadily. We post messages regularly on eligibility, blood types and campaigns YouTube: We added Year of the Blood donor vignettes to YouTube for viewing, with one video attracting over 7,000 views. Our intention is to use this channel

to post a video content that inform and entertain potential donors, encouraging them to spread our message as well as become donors. MySpace: We are using MySpace for the National radio competition as this platform is targeted at youth who are interested in music. Foursquare: This is great local marketing tool that can be utilised by donor centres at relatively low cost. Messages can be posted on available appointments

and blood requirements which are targeted at people in the area.

Page 24: Pursuing International Excellence in Donor Loyalty “Donor Engagement and Managing the Donor Relationship”

Utilization of social media contd.

Lessons learnt: risk managementIn order to mitigate any risks arising, proactive management and monitoring is required. Any messages of a sensitive nature are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Derogatory comments (expletives and offensive behaviour) are removed, and a post from the Blood Service added to explain why this has been done. (recent example on the right where derogatory messages were posted on ‘our’ Facebook group (managed by a supporter). These comments were removed and message posted explaining why this was done.

Successful Campaigns

• This program is for prospective donors who are considering donating blood for the first time, and want to learn more.

• We ask prospective donors between 16 and 60 years of age to take the first step toward saving lives by signing up for 'Ready, Set...Give!', an e-newsletter program that delivers information about blood donation by e-mail.

• Over a six month period, Canadian Blood Services sends a series of e-mails to educate prospective donors about the donation process and how blood is used; they can read first-hand accounts of patients whose lives have been saved by blood donations, and find upcoming clinics in their area.

• The sign up process is easy. Prospective donors visit www.blood.ca and complete a short registration form.

New Donor Retention StrategyTo pursue this opportunity, we have implemented a new donor retention strategy that will more

strongly influence donor behaviour and increase retention.

Key highlights include:

• Combined donor card/welcome kit sent within 2 weeks of first donation–Whole blood, plasma or platelets versions –New CEO letters, brochure with stickers (to begin July 2009) –Redesigned donor cards in 2010

• Select appreciation items –Thank you card, item at the third donation–As of January 1, 2010 – will no longer be part of Donor Recognition program

• Triggered contact (tentative launch January 2010; dependent on CRM) –Test of a ‘care call’ versus AVM within 3 days of first donation
