The Challenge
One of the top twenty circulations in the UK, Ford of Britain's magazine has a circulation of over 500,000, going to a diverse set of customers - company car drivers, retail, fleet and mobility customers. Response rates were dropping and we needed to target specific customer-tailored offers.

The Solution
We completely revamped the response device, profiling segments and understanding customer needs. The data modelling defined 51 data cells. With 14 base offer variants, 8 letterhead versions, 3 response envelopes, 3 polywrap outers and 5 variable inserts, we created a complex programme with over 21,000 possible combinations.

The Result
Response rates increased and now run at 20% per edition. Timescale for the initial programme redesign was only six weeks from brief.
