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.

Blood Donation Directorate
• 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
• Activities to be evaluated: other activities to be evaluated (work needed to establish meaningful benchmark)

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)
Blood Donation Directorate

Blood Donation Directorate
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.

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.
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.
Donor loyalty programFrequent Donor Club
Objective: To increase frequency across products & therefore retention Activity
Donors invited to join the Club & pledge to donate xx times throughout the year. Members received ongoing comms throughout the year encouraging them
to meet their pledge. As they complete they are acknowledged and receive a small gift
Lessons learnt Streamline the registration process to make it easy for donors to select
their joining method Continue & improve communications throughout the year Further develop the online presence of the Frequent Donor Club to assist
with costs and awareness

Donor Loyalty
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
Note: Triggered contact and appreciation items may change (TBF)
