Recession begins in September 2008 (FY09) – average gift had already fallen against FY08 Average Gift
With the increase of QTY in FY08, response dropped by 10% and the Av Gift drops over $1 less than FY07
Package Trends Did a change in the mix of packages used or a decline in performance in one package negatively impact FY09? Program has been very reactionary from heavy testing, economic conditions and package-driven performance months.
Lists – Performance by Tiers Lists used in the previous fiscal year were ranked by net/donor, excluding the calendar mailing. For the following fiscal year: • Lists in the top 25% of net/donor are labeled Tier 1. • Lists in the next 35% of net/donor are labeled Tier 2. • Lists in the final 40% of net/donor are labeled Tier 3.
There is a significant drop in the use of Tier 2 lists. We need to be diligent on list universe make-up.
Another View: Tier 1 increases Yr Over Year, With Tier 2 Shrinking & Tier 3 increases – FY10 Appears to be on a Good Start
60% of universe on Test & Tier 3 Lists & highest Cost/Donor – directly affect the bottom-line
Impact FY11 - Present
Five significant effects: A-: Control envelope is better (by 20.8%) with a cost of $29.85 / 1k for the new OE O-: With the drop in response, the upgraded asks have a negative impact on net revenue (hurt 15.0%) F-: Larger letter format hurts net revenue by 9.5% at a cost of $1.80 / 1k B-: Bubble-padded OE hurts net revenue 7.1% at a cost of $9.80 / 1k P+: Highlighting one ask increases revenue 6.2%
