BPA Brand Report

Page 6: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report

• First Brand Report was issued in Dec. 2009• Currently over 300 members reporting• First versions were designed by BPA• Members have requested more aesthetically

pleasing and “contemporary” Brand Reports• BPA used outside designers to develop options• BPA Board voted to remove the “grand total”

figure from the Executive Summary

Page 7: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

Removal of the “Grand Total” figure-• Sum of various media channels (without

identifying duplicates) causes confusion and adds no additional value

• Does not represent the brand’s total reach to unique individuals

Page 8: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

Removing “Grand Total” figure• Grand Total of “what”??• Total of averages across many channels (with

various frequencies) not individuals• Not a reliable or valid number• It adds little value• It causes more confusion

Page 9: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

Example - Email Newsletter distribution• Different data sets available across various

channels of distribution (delivery only, no date of request, no demos, etc.)

• “email address only” recordsPeople often have multiple email addresses Unknown identity, company or physical address

• Multiple e-newsletter distributions (morning and evening newsletters to the same list)

Page 10: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

• Without de-duplicating the channels against each other – can open the door to double or triple counting (or more) of the same names in Total

• Adding social media to the Grand Total gets cloudier. A single individual may be registered with several forms of SM or have multiple log-in names

• Adding various channels together is like adding apples and oranges and is essentially meaningless

Page 11: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

• Given the challenges in identifying the number of individuals, the “Grand Total” number will be removed for now

• BPA will begin a study and search for alternate methods of reporting a more meaningful value-adding metric

• Any feedback from the membership is welcome

Page 12: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

Redesign- • Single Channel Brand Report– Portrait and landscape

• Multi Channel (Horizontal) Brand Report– Portrait and landscape

• Multi Channel (Vertical) Brand Report– Portrait and landscape

Page 13: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

EXAMPLES

Page 14: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Report Formats

• Having two reports is beginning to confuse the market (circ statements and Brand reports)

• Effective with December 2013 reports, all will be in the Brand format (even single channel)

• There will be no more “green” or “pink” magazine circulation statements

Page 15: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

Page 16: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• BPA remains the only audit bureau to require recordings for telecommunication efforts

• Serves the best interest of the industry• Is comparable to written and internet sources• Other benefits:– Allows multiple requests in a single call– Eliminates the need for a PIQ– Decreases confirmation costs

Page 17: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• Publishers are still having difficulty reaching the primary subscriber

• Often they connect to: – Boss, Co-worker, Assistant

• The present rigid structure of telecom scripts impedes “direct request” telecom efforts

Page 18: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• Current rules allow for a spouse or authorized assistant to make a request on behalf of a subscriber

• Supervisors, peers or subordinates may not, they are considered “company requests”

• It is believed that a supervisor is often in a better position to request for a subscriber rather than their authorized assistant

Page 19: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• Board approved:– Subscriber = direct request– Boss = direct request– Admin for Boss = direct request– Co-worker = company request– Subordinate for Boss = company request

Page 20: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• Current Rule: Qualified recipient’s authorized assistant may request on behalf of recipient by affirmatively responding to: – “Do you provide administrative support for ___

that includes the ability to request subscriptions for him/her?”

– “Do you provide administrative services for____ and are you (allowed/eligible/permitted) to request a publication on their behalf?”

Page 21: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

• Script requiring confirmation of administrative function and “authorized” to make a request has been problematic – often leads to a rejection

• Many markets and situations do not have “administrative functions”

Page 22: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Telecommunication Request

Rule change- • Revised wording: ask for recipient; their supervisor

or assistant. No “authorized” question needed• Supervisors allowed to count as “request” for their

subordinates• Eliminate the “Admin/Auth” question• Staff confirmed with USPS and DCH that these

changes would not affect postal status or request circulation funding

Publicity - Comparisons

• Current rules only allow circulation comparison of same periods

• This rule often leads to frustration for our members

• Publishers with current statements must wait for competitors’ statements to prepare comparisons – this wait can be days, weeks, or even months

Page 25: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Publicity - Comparisons

• If a publication in the competitive set does not have a current statement there are two options:– Use old data for the entire comparison– Use new data for those that have it and exclude those

that do not• BPA is launching an automated compare tool that

must pull data from the most recent BPA report, regardless of the period covered; it cannot research the last time all members have common period statements and render only those reports

Page 26: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Publicity - Comparisons

• To ease the frustration of members waiting for statements and to allow our new compare tool to work with maximum efficiency, the Board approved a change of the publicity rules to allow comparisons of the “most recent” report, regardless of the period covered

Page 27: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Newspapers: Multiple Platforms

Page 28: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Multi-platform Reporting

• In December 2011 BPA changed the global newspaper rules to allow for multi-platform reporting

• The new format reports subscribers receiving: Print, Digital Replica, Digital Non-Replica, and also reports Unique Recipients

Page 29: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Multi-platform Reporting

• The Canadian committees and advisory boards continued the discussion over the past six months

• Non-replica digital editions are growing in Canada and the rules needed to be updated to accommodate publishers who wish to report multi-platform subscribers

• Such copies were inconsequential in 2012, but will grow with 2013. We will be working with committees for the reporting 2013

Digital Editions Update

Page 32: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• December 2012 we passed rules for reporting qualified digital copies served through apps– Digital subscriptions purchased via tablets/mobile

device reported as paid from first copy– Combined print/digital paid subscriptions require

subscriber to “authenticate” through device/app– Non-paid subscriptions require subscriber to

“authenticate,” and access once every six months

Page 33: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• We met with all committees to see how implementation is progressing and to learn “what’s next?”

• Paid consumer publishers seem to be the furthest along on reporting digital copies served through apps– Back end authentication process up and running

• Controlled still WIP

Page 34: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• Most digital solution providers are building in the MPA reporting metrics into the basic dashboards

• The data has been enlightening for publishers, but few are including the data in sales materials – yet

Page 35: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• What’s next?– Most vendors are building POP offerings for access

to multiple digital products (Netflix) • Consumer• Newspaper• Business (not much interest)

– One vendor submitted an app into Apple with a registration form (waiting on feedback)

Page 36: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• Digital insight from Adobe DPS…– Digital issues delivered increased 6x in the last two

years– Acquisition of digital content:• Paid digital subscriptions – 34%• Paid print + digital – 35%• Free – 22%• Paid single copy – 10%

Page 37: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Digital Editions

• Adobe continued…– Digital readership grew 150% in the last six

months– Interactive issues perform much better than pdf

(downloads, sub revenue, ad revenue)– How are people reading digital content:• 75% tablets• 23% smart phones• 2% other

Brand Rate Card

Page 39: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

First issue – Audit Rates:

• BPA’s Board has voted to maintain current rates, there is no rate increase this year

Second issue – Rate card:

• Working on creating a streamlined, value-added rate card

Page 40: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

Page 41: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

• BPA’s Brand rate card allows members to bundle the following: – All media channels– Membership dues and production fees

• Allocated audit time is applied to all audit services: print, digital, confirmations

• The goal was to facilitate cost-effective reporting of multiple media channels and minimize the number of BPA invoices

Page 42: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

• Some members have expressed concern about rising additional hour costs

• Some members feel the rate card does not clearly communicate the final audit/BPA costs

• Despite our many efforts to communicate costs, too many members are surprised with additional hour charges at the end of the audit

Page 43: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

• Staff discussed these challenges with the committees and Board and advised the groups that we are working diligently to streamline our audit process (new testing, new worksheets, new automated tools)

• We are also revisiting the rate card

Page 44: BPA Rule Change Webinar June 2013. Agenda for the Day BPA Brand Report – Redesign and rollout plans Rule Amendments (3) – Telemarketing; Publicity; Newspaper

Brand Rate Card

• No two brands/audits are the same, one rate card may not apply to all

• Customized billing by member based on history and complexity of reporting?

• Staff will continue to evaluate the current rate card and model different solutions

• We will report in December with our results
