How a quiz, a human touch and a dose of humour achieved regular giving success for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

This session looks at:
Our strategic approach to cold acquisition, how we got the campaign proposal across the fine, the importance of our agency partnerships and the journey we took donors along.....and the results from our trial campaigns.

The Marketing Association is the industry body for all marketers, with a key priority to ensure that self-regulation continues in the industry and that they play their part to assist marketers to stay on the right side of the many laws that affect the industry today.
Regarded as a key asset, customer and prospect data is now at the very core of most businesses and the proliferation of media channels means it is now more critical than ever to collect, store, manage and use data about identifiable individuals professionally, legally and ethically and to be seen to be doing just that.
You’ll learn about the Marketing Association’s Data Warranty Register – what this means and why it’s important to any organisation involved in data collection, storage and use.
They will also touch on their other services such as the Name Suppression Service, Do Not Call and Do Not Mail.
