Themes
Addkraft came up with campaign themes for specific target segments and the elements of the campaign at the start of the engagement. The campaign had begun only upon receiving a go ahead from CUSTOMER. We had to conceptualize two themes for each target segment and used the themes alternately during campaigns.
Addkraft had to complete access to information relating to CUSTOMER’s track record and customer segments.

Monitoring of results:
We had prepared a status report on a weekly basis that give an idea of the volume of the communication and the response rates. We got inputs from CUSTOMER like number of emails sent, calls made and responses received to prepare the status report.
A fortnightly review call was conducted to discuss the progress and make course corrections if any. We were expected to give responses after the third or fourth communication. In all, this cycle will take a period of 3‐4 months to yield tangible results. Brochure for b2b and stakeholders brochures were well appreciated by the customer. 12% of the target audience read the b2b brochure and responded, which was above Industry bench-mark performance.
