       Negative contribution   Positive contribution
…. the optimal mailing




                                            + 109%
                         Incentive: niet in onderwerpregel

                         afzender: man & officieel (dhr.)

Learning 1:
Keep ‘Decision Making Unit’ in mind




                       + 102%
               + 15%
13




Learning 2:
Familiarity more important than own style
   Customers should be approached in the style
   they recognize you as supplier. Prospects not
   necessarily.
14




Learning 3:
Don’t treat B2B like B2C
   Incentive werkt averechts, tenzij duidelijke
   relatie met propositie

                                          - 40%




   Persoonlijke benadering (bv. naam en branche)
   is positief maar met groot afbreukrisico.
