Marketing Driving Growth – H2

Catalogue:

• Circulation growth continues at similar

pace with targeted increases driven

by data analytics/insights

Internet:

• Benefit of addition and acceleration of

new techniques in late H1 last year

now in the run rate; shift more to

optimisation than pure expansion

Retention:

• Blue Box® programme increased to

support larger customer file

18

Indications for the balance of the year are for a good

performance in keeping with our strategic growth objectives,

despite the strong growth comparator in the second half of 2014.

The Group expects a good outcome for the year as a whole.
