Win-back Examples
                     Reaching Undeliverable Opt-ins

What does “Undeliverable Opt-ins” mean?
   Subscribers on your base that are opted-in but are marked as undeliverable
   due to either a Hard or Soft Bounce.
   Many of these undeliverable addresses could be active, engaged customers
   who would love to hear from you!



Getting Back in Touch
   In order to re-engage with customers we must
   look to alternative channels of communication.
     Direct Mail

     SMS

     Targeted post-log in banners
     In-app messaging
Win-back Examples
                                                      Direct Mail
Use Dynamic Print to reach previously un-
contactable fans and encourage them to
update their profile information through a
personalised URL

Dynamic print brings together the best of both
print and online worlds; an eye catching
tangible marketing piece and a precise data
capture tool.

Include QR code to help simplify the journey
between postcard and website.
Win-back Examples
 How can we fix the problem?           SMS

     Where appropriate permission has been
     obtained, use SMS to encourage subscribers to
     update their details

     More cost effective than Direct Mail

     May offer a simpler user journey than Direct
     Mail.

     Can still include a personalised URL within SMS to
     pre-populate subscription centre/update web
     form and facilitate tracking.
