Customers aren't for Christmas: a whitepaper from Cherry LondonPhemmie Wilkinson
This Christmas, brands will spend millions trying to entice customers to action – to choose their particular product or service over another, to get their message across, to get their Facebook post liked and shared...
Each will be trying to carve a unique space in people’s hearts “guaranteeing” their share of the Christmas buzz and spend. This year it has started earlier than ever – the blockbuster ads have been out for what feels like weeks, the mince pies are on the shelves and your Christmas ‘essentials’ could be found as early as August on some retailers’ shelves.
But just how important is marketing activity in getting customers to act? Is it even worth it or are people’s minds already made up? What can brands do to really connect? Does investment in a long term loyalty programme help?
And how can Brand Partnerships be used to help cut through in this increasingly over-whelming cluttered world?

– everything from gas, electricity and broadband to mobile phones, insurance and
credit cards.
PrimeLocation: Our premium property brand that lists properties to buy or
rent, and offers inspiration for home improvements and aspirational moves.
10. The well-known proverb ‘an Englishman’s
home is his castle’ is as true today as it ever
has been.
But moving between homes and managing
running costs when you arrive is a little more
complicated. Our role is to smooth out the
many different processes involved by being the
consumer champion at the heart of the home.
Why is this so
important?
10
11. 11
The UK has more homeowners than most
other European countries, and we love home
improvements. Most people look to add value to
their home and move every 7 years.
But, as house prices rise, we also have a growing
population of long-term renters unable to get on
the housing ladder. Others favour the flexibility
that renting allows to suit their needs.
We are increasingly savvy with our money,
particularly our home running costs. More and
more of us are looking to switch to get the best
deal we can.
12. Different stages of
development
12
While our brands help people with many
aspects of the home, every product we
offer is at a different stage of evolution
which affects consumer confidence
when it comes to switching.
It’s important to think about this when we communicate
with consumers, as no one approach fits all.
12
Early stages: The online money and mobile switching markets are
relatively immature. They are perceived as complex and consumers feel
there’s a high risk to switching.
13. 1313
Growing: The online
energy and broadband
switching markets
have grown quickly
over the last few years,
as government and
brand initiatives have
encouraged more people
to switch.
Maturing: The property
search and online
insurance switching
markets are mature. It’s
common practice for
most property or car
insurance searches to
start in this way.
14. Driving a win-win
14
The key to helping consumers is connecting them
with the right business partners. We look to create
a win-win situation.
We want to get the maximum number of consumers visiting each of our
sites each day, and when they arrive we want to serve them the widest
number of partners to meet their specific needs.
15. 15
We also want to help our
business partners target
key audiences so their
marketing is more effective.
16. We love what we do
16
99,117 hours, that’s how long the average Brit spends working...
Wouldn’t it be good to spend this time doing something worthwhile?
With a purpose and a meaning. That’s why working at ZPG is so good because
we’re trying to make a difference to people’s lives.
17. 17
We call our purpose our vision. It’s our long-term aim of where we want to be.
Ours is to be...
‘The consumer champion at
the heart of the home’.
Together, ZPG’s brands and people will collectively help the nation make better
property decisions and save money. And that feels great!
18. 18
In order to achieve our vision we must deliver on our mission.
Our mission statement
‘To be the most useful
resource for consumers when
finding, moving or managing
their home and the most
effective marketing channel
for related business partners’.
19. To be successful we need to be effective in 7 strategic
areas which we call the ‘BIG IDEA’:
Success = BIG IDEA

20. Achieving our mission
20
Of course, the
way we treat our
consumers and
business partners
is as important
as the results we
achieve.
Doing things the right way for our
consumers, partners and employees
alike makes us successful.
We define these behaviours in our ZPG
values. Values that earn us the respect
and trust of everyone that comes into
contact with the business. It’s the way
we go about achieving our mission.

2. Agile
Moving fast and in a focused fashion
We make quick decisions to innovate
and stay ahead of the competition.
We’re focused and data driven and have
a thirst for knowledge and insight and
we’re not afraid to test, learn and try
again in order to achieve our mission.
4. Entrepreneurial
Being creative and owning it
Entrepreneurialism is deep rooted in our
heritage. We use our initiative, make
decisions and spend money like it is our
own and we never stand still. We are
constantly looking for the best outcome
to meet our mission.

Taking pride in our work and vision
We take pride in our work and are
passionate about delivering a great
experience for our consumers and

other and believe in honesty and integrity
in all dealings. We support each other
and work as a team to enable us all to
achieve our goals and win.
Values
22. Social responsibility
22
Helping goes beyond our office walls.
We have a long history of supporting
others and we are proud of how we
help charities.
Our chosen charities are The Prince’s
Trust and Only Connect.
We’ve been supporting The Prince’s Trust since 2013 with
their work helping young people in need.
To date we’ve raised over £100,000 and were crowned
‘All Round Heroes’ at The Prince’s Trust annual corporate
awards ceremony in 2014, demonstrating our passion for
inspiring young lives and supporting the next generation.

And we also support the registered charities you choose in
a few ways. Just talk to HR to find out how.
Only Connect is a creative criminal justice charity, rooted
in community. Their vision is a connected society, where
everyone chooses a crime-free life. We’ve been supporting
them so they can deliver innovative rehabilitation projects.
