Professional delivery management for the telecoms industry. Whistl help your business to communicate with your customers with reliable mail and postal delivery. 

As a telecommunication company, you have to provide a reliable and valuable infrastructure to your customers, to enhance the way that we now live and interact. An increase in ‘smart home devices’, pocket-sized personal Wi-Fi hotspots and major improvements within public transport infrastructures means UK homes and residents have the option to be online almost all day, every day. It is predicted that by the end of 2023 the smartphone will be the most used digital device, with an estimated 92% of the UK adult population owning a device. 

Experienced within this fast-paced and continually evolving industry, we understand that you need to keep your customers informed and updated, whether you need to send important periodical.

BT Direct Mail Case Study

It’s not just critical business messages that telecommunication or ‘quadplay’ companies look to communicate with by mail and postal services. Direct mail can also be a great way to generate new business prospects. British Telecom used direct mail in one of their customer acquisition mailings, to recruit new broadband customers. The creative treatment for the mailing campaign used the choice of communication channel in a humorous way, suggesting that by sending something in the post might be the fastest way to contact them, as their internet connection would be too slow to receive email with their current provider. 

This clever use of the direct mail channel allowed BT to exceed their expectations and targets for both response rates and conversions, delivering them a great return on investment. With strong targeting, creative and good response rates, this direct mail marketing campaign also achieved Silver at the 2015 DMA awards.

TV Licence Direct Mail Case Study 

And in 2018, the DMA Gold winner was a direct mail marketing campaign for TV Licencing, which targeted typical licence evaders. With a simple question as a strapline ‘Will you be in on XX date’ the date shown on the message was tweaked so that it had enough urgency from the date of sending, to get the attention of the householder so they believe that a visit from enforcement was in fact not remote, but imminent. The test creative was sent in a non-branded manila envelope. 

The marketing strategy was hugely successful with a 230% uplift against the original branded control. This result showed that the mailing channel was the right solution but the message was the critical barrier in getting their message read by those who typically ignored the monthly branded enforcement letters.

Partially Addressed Mail

Whistl also offer a fully GDPR compliant option for our customers with partially addressed mail. Partially addressed mail or PAM offers the chance for telecoms companies to connect with customers or prospects, influencing product selection and spending behaviour. 

Campaign effectiveness is increased when audience profiling and insights are used to identify the right homes, your financial service communication is to be sent too. PAM is an advertising mail option that is as compliant to GDPR rules, as an unaddressed door drop campaign.
