Opener

I noticed your piece sends people to the same go.udayton.edu page for everyone. The QR code only adds campaign tags, nothing per person. How do you tell which visits came from this mailing?

Starting point only. Use your own words. Ask one question, then listen.

Estimated campaign volume

No count on the piece

What would tighten this: a published piece count, mail spend or revenue figure for University of Dayton; 2 more member scans of this mailing; how many pieces they send per drop (ask them).

3 things to ask

  1. Who decides who prints these pieces, and when is that next reviewed?
  2. How do you measure whether these pieces are working? Do you hold back a test group?
  3. Can you see responses for this mailing on their own?
Next stepThen follow the outreach plan.
Call Jason
Start with the facts

One piece. Three questions to ask.

Use what the Call Card found to start a conversation. Check the setup before calling anything a gap.

  1. Who runs the mailing?

    “Who on your team plans the Preview Day mail, and who works with your mail partner?”

  2. What brings a sign-up?

    “How do you tell which visits and sign-ups came from this mailing?”

  3. What would make it easier?

    “What would you change about the paper, timing, or work needed for the next drop?”

What still needs a check: the physical printer, exact paper and finish, weight, and real postage bill are not confirmed. A postal account owner is not proof of who printed the piece. No response loss or guaranteed savings are claimed.

A likely contact is not proof of who bought this piece.
