How are Millers Retail Ltd communicating effectively and affordably with their Retail Club members?

With over 700 stores located throughout Australia and New Zealand, a loyalty club with more than 2 million active members and with revenues exceeding $450m, Millers Retail are the largest specialty retailer of apparel in Australia.

Fully Managed and Outsourced
The Biko solution is a fully-managed, outsourced system.

This means that Miller's staff require no technical expertise, training or internal infrastructure to create and send volume, personalized email campaigns.

Cost Effective
With no setup costs and modest "per email sent" fees which reduce with volume, the system provides an affordable, low risk solution to e-marketing requirements.

Simple to Manage
Campaigns are tailored and personalized to suit the differing brands of Millers and the different Retail Club members.

Unsubscribe ("opt-out") requests are recorded directly in the database.

Undeliverable addresses ("bounce-backs") are intercepted, scanned and updated in the database.

This means there is no requirement for Millers to wade through thousands of returned emails and manual requests to be removed from the mailing lists.

Real-time, online campaign statistics
Millers Retail are able to logon to a secured page to browse campaigns including comprehensive, real-time statistics on emails sent, emails opened, unsubscribe requests, undeliverable addresses and click-throughs.

Campaign reports and files of click throughs, unsubscribes and undeliverable addresses are available as requred as Microsoft Excel downloads from the secure customer administration page.

Additional benefits
The Biko e-marketing solution is cost effective and adaptable.

Personalization and campaigns specialized to segments of the database ensure recipients receive email content that is relevant to them.
