Doordrop Media in the Public Sector with Whistl

As a Public Sector organisation, you regularly provide your audience with up-to-date and time-critical information.

Whether you work within an educational service, a health and welfare organisation, a council, a local authority, or government, you may need to balance communicating valuable information with a restricted budget. Whistl knows there should be no compromise when it comes to keeping your communities well-informed.

Whistl works with multiple public sector organisations to support their communications and create awareness and informative campaigns to reach more homes without exceeding budget limitations.

Using Doordrop Media in the Public Sector

• Doordrop Marketing

By isolating specific audiences within local authorities' geographic catchments, our Doordrop Media solutions can ensure your message connects with your target audience more effectively. Whether your recipients live within a specific postal region or you wish to expand your reach to include a particular drive time or radius around locations such as schools or hospitals, our geographic targeting ensures your message is relevant to the local area.

• Partially-Addressed Mail

You can also take advantage of further demographic information and refine your targeted postal area with our partially addressed mail services. By analysing our extensive anonymised datasets, our insights and planning team can identify suitable homes to receive your public sector communications. As the name of this service suggests, the names of these recipients are replaced with generic titles, such as ‘occupant’ and ‘homeowner’, protecting their privacy in adherence with GDPR rules.

• Direct Mail

Build trust with your recipients through our direct mail service. Creating personalised door drops featuring the names of customers whose demographics show the strongest correlation to your public sector service maximises your chances of engagement.

• GDPR-Compliant Mail

By removing any personally identifying information from your correspondence, our Doordrop Media solutions can protect the anonymity of your recipients while ensuring your public sector business reaches the right doorsteps. With our GDPR-compliant email service, your campaign message can be delivered to the right people without infringing on their privacy.

• Targeted Campaign Planning

Devise an effective campaign and refine your customer profiles with our planning and insights team. Through extensive analysis of crucial customer demographics, including age, income, lifestyle and hobbies, our dedicated team will guide you through the most relevant criteria to ensure they are successfully applied to your campaign.

Many local NHS Trusts use door drops as a localised channel to establish lines of communication between their organisation and relevant homes, keeping them updated on local news, volunteering opportunities, careers or fundraising.

Why Should the Public Sector Use Doordrop Media with Whistl?

• Brand Building and Awareness

Informing constituents about recent or upcoming policy changes through door drops can be crucial for organisations seeking to increase awareness or strengthen their public perception. Unsurprisingly, within the public sector, some of the most significant users of Doordrop media are political parties, councils and local authorities.

• Customer Reach and Retention

Our insight and planning specialists have decades of experience expanding the reach of public institutions through their coordinated door-drop campaigns. Educational organisations, such as colleges and universities, regularly use our services to promote higher education to school leavers and to target adults with information on specific courses to improve their career progression or hone key skills.

• Environmental Considerations

Whistl constantly strives to reduce its environmental impact, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality across its processes within the next 15 years. Whistl champions environmental sustainability in door-drop media. As an Ad Net Zero member, Whistl actively contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of advertising. Additionally, Whistl supports Two Sides, a non-profit promoting the sustainability of print and paper. Two Sides educates the public and advocates for sustainable practices within the print industry. These partnerships underscore Whistl's commitment to eco-conscious and responsible door-drop media services.

• Complementary to Digital Channels

Coordinating your door drops with televised and digital marketing that effectively shares your campaign message reinforces your customer promise or mission statement, increasing the likelihood your audience will remember you. Recontextualising key imagery or slogans from your lead campaign so they play to the strengths of doordrop could be the trick to cementing the budding connection between your business and its audience.

• Measurable Impact and Strong ROI

Once your campaign is underway, our account management team will update you on the impact achieved from the door-drop media schedule. By providing this insight into the effect of your campaign, Whistl hopes to reassure its clients that they are maximising their return on investment.

• Geographic and Demographic Targeting

As many public sector companies need to relay time-sensitive information to their audiences, Doordrop Media is a reliable delivery method that can achieve excellent results even on limited budgets. Local councils often publish booklets and magazines to keep their residents informed, thereby expanding the scope of their initial campaigns and making door drops their primary method of communication with their audience.

• Tangible and Engaging Creative Freedom

As a printed communications channel, Doordrop Media provides your customer base with physical items that are easily shared and discussed among household members. If your door-drop item is retained in the home, it can provide a tangible reference point for part of your public sector service. Although their limited size dictates the scope of the information they can contain, this actively encourages you to break down complex messages into easily digestible elements.

• Cost-Effective and High Return on Investment

With the flexibility to design your door-drop campaign around your marketing budget, we are willing to widen or narrow the focus of our services to ensure you are always making the most of your investment. After tailoring our services to reflect your budget, we will help you refine your messaging to ensure your campaign maximises its impact and yields results, whatever its size or scope.

• Complete 360 Support

Planning and coordinating an effective campaign can be challenging, especially when you still have regular responsibilities. Our complete 360° approach provides each client with a dedicated account manager who can offer relevant guidance at every stage of your campaign, from the initial brief through delivery management to evaluation of response mechanics.
