Our Task

Make direct contact – fast ! First, validate and enhance the most recent database of fixers.

Then develop a sustainable direct communications programme, offline and online. Engage with users, build insight, and nurture their relationship with BAL.

Action and Output

  • An integrated Fixer Focus programme: concentrating resources on a more qualified target base for maximum budget cost-efficiency so that repeat contact is affordable.
  • BAL Fixer Focus newsletter mailings: supported by interim EDMs to anchor the programme. All driving fixers to the website, to online product updates and demo videos, and to training and technical services.
  • Added value offers: designed to support fixers’ own businesses rather than conventional promotional items. Providing relevant information to update their professional knowledge.
  • Insight questionnaire: helping us get to know them better too.

Result

  • Campaign responders in Year 1 reveal £4.5m annual spending potential on adhesives and grouts.
  • Over £500k incremental sales opportunity via switch/up-sell is identified so far.
