Promotional Risk Management

Promotional Risk Management is a small but important part of the promotional process.  PIMS-SCA will arm you with the knowledge of what it is, how it works and can be implemented, how to protect budgets from the costs associated with response rates exceeding expectation and increase prize funds for maximum effect with minimal expense.
 
PIMS-SCA provides no obligation presentations to agencies and brands, tailored to their specific requirements.  We are happy to offer educational presentations, as part of an organisations training process for new and existing employees, or project specific presentations to assist with planning and ideas.  We provide case study examples and advice on the best way to get the most from your budget.
 
With over 20 years providing fixed fee, over redemption and prize insurance solutions for many leading brands across sales promotion, experiential, mobile and digital marketing, we keep it simple and as straightforward as possible.

The Letterbox Consultancy, now 16 years old, is still the UK's only source of truly independent and impartial door drop planning and buying advice.

Our detailed, speculative media proposals examine the relative strengths of Royal Mail D2D, free newspapers and team based systems for each client brief and recommend each option in isolation or any appropriate combination to help achieve clients' promotional objectives.

The Letterbox Consultancy is also at the forefront of developing sub postal sector targeting and distribution services, where door drops are executed in units of hundreds rather than thousands of households, vastly reducing wastage. SMART-Drop is specifically designed for clients distributing high value items such as product samples, coupons or multi page brochures.
 
SMART-Drop can again be used in isolation or combination with the three primary door drop options and has been extensively tested by a wide range of blue chip clients.

Promotional Merchandise & Sourcing

Sourcing – we love it. If it's out there we'll find it, and if it's not we'll design and create it ourselves. Because we're totally committed to providing innovative, high-quality products to support your promotional marketing, direct marketing, PR, exhibition and event activity. From the every-day to the extraordinary.

We don't do run-of-the-mill business gifts. We do 'do' a complete sourcing service that not only offers a carefully selected range of high-quality ready-to-go catalogue items, but innovative and original bespoke solutions too... and all things in between. We literally do go to the ends of the earth to find the right products and suppliers, and over the years have forged strong relationships internationally with the best in the business.

And we do it ethically. We aim to include an eco-solution with all our responses without any compromise on quality. And we try to ensure that all our items are 'human friendly' too. What's more, we don't just take someone's word for it - we audit factories and check appropriate certification ourselves. Because in this, as in all things, we believe that a responsible, long-term and hands-on approach works out better for everybody.
