To achieve our 2020/21 targets we need to increase the number of financial supporters by 1 million while also increasing the value from supporters
AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT
Personality of the RSPB
RSPB
I can’t imagine an RSPB party really
kicking off
I see the RSPB as spending a lot of
time in committee meetings
I see a couple dressed identically and they finish each other’s
sentences
Male,Tweed, plus fours,
Flat cap, wellingtons
Not well known,Bill Oddie
Like a train spotter,Very enthusiastic
Bland, boring, reserved, quiet
Intellectual, boffin
Love birds,professional
Aloof,outdoors
I don’t really think of them as a charity like Cancer Research, it’s more to do with bird spotting, walking and
giving you information, but not necessarily wanting
money for it(Suspects, Doncaster)
Audience Development
• September 2010 – Outside In Review (findings supporting the whole process of brand and comms development)

AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT
Audience Development
• September 2010 – Outside In Review (findings supporting the whole process of brand and comms development)
• Dec 2011 – General Public – Segmentation – Qualitative Qualitative research: focus groups conducted among groups across
the UK, at different life stages and with different levels of involvement with nature.
Two key things learnt
Key Drivers
.
Connecting with Nature• extent to which people feel connected with nature• the nature/quality of that connection
Challenges to Nature• degree of understanding and perceived seriousness of
the threats• extent to which these are seen as global / intangible
and/or distant / ‘out of my sphere of influence’• as opposed to local / concrete and/or close to home /
something I can try and influence
Tackling the Threats• extent to which individuals feel responsible for the
threats• extent to which they feel empowered/impotent when
it comes to tackling the threats
PASSION

Concerned about preserving wildlife for their grandchildren
Concerned about protecting wildlife for their children and engaging with nature as a family
Aimed at this audience to push the brand more into the mainstream and ensure long term growth . Brand perceptions and experience will need significant change to fit into lifestyle

Sociable Dynamic KnowledgeableInspiring
Active Nature Enthusiasts – Young/ Pre-Family
Concerned about wildlife, but more on a global level where RSPB lacks credibility

How do we make the segmentation actionable?
1. Identify the segments within our current supporter base and also amongst future supporters
2. Identify where we can find our target segments to grow our support and quantify the opportunity for growth
3. Communicate better with these supporters
The Options
1. Send our segmentation questionnaire to all of our existing and new supporters.
2. Investigate bridging our segmentation to a UK wide database.
PopulationSurvey DataThe Available Data
1. Identify the segments within our current and future supporter base
• All contacts on our database flagged with predicted audience segment
• Allowed deeper analysis of our supporter file by segment
Analysing our supporter file
ANE’s
ANE’s LEC’s
PNE’s
How will we use this?
• Developing profiles and propensity models
• Understanding what product or offer or theme or channel we should put in front of which supporters
• Determining what is the next best ask?

2. Identify where we can find our target segments to grow our support and quantify the opportunity for growth
• Every individual on the Ocean database flagged with RSPB segmentation
• Ability to view segment distribution by postcode area, district and sector

Other practical uses
3. Communicating better with our supporters
• Previous approach was a bit spray and pray
• We’ve found out lots of new things about our segments
• CACI bridging revealed more insight on each of our segments
• Attempting to bridge the segmentation across to TGI to expand our lifestyle insights
