Isle of Man Post Office has been shortlisted for 'Acquisition and Retention Partner of the Year' at the eGaming Review (eGR) B2B Awards 2013.
During the past 18 months, Isle of Man Post Office has not only made its entrance into the eGaming industry, but firmly established itself in this sector, gaining a reputation for offering secure direct mail solutions to operators and affiliates.
Direct mail is still one of the most effective tried and tested methods of marketing for acquisition, retention and reactivation campaigns and through Integrated Mailing Solutions (IMS), the Post Office's specialist business communications division, it offers the complete service. From data cleansing and verification, mail merge, digital print (including specialised print such as scratch cards and CD/DVDs), automated envelopment, instant despatch into the UK and international mail stream, response handling and returns management - any of these services can be tailor-made to suit the individual client.
Being shortlisted for this award builds on the recognition Isle of Man Post Office received at the Awards for Excellence 2012 in November, when it won the coveted title of International Business of the Year. Much of Isle of Man Post Office's corporate client base is now located either in the UK or internationally, contributing to bringing business to the Island.
Lisa Duckworth, Commercial Director, Isle of Man Post Office said:
"We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the award. Our eGaming team has worked immensely hard to build up an international portfolio of clients and provide them with a high quality, secure and effective direct mail service. It's very encouraging to be recognised as a contender for this award, particularly as we have only been working in this industry for such a short period of time. Our client base has been growing significantly through 'word of mouth' and referrals. It's clear our sales and marketing strategy for this sector is working and that's positive testament for Isle of Man Post Office."
Lisa continued:
"Our unique selling point is IMS's services are covered by rigorous accreditations – ISO 27001:2005 for data security and ISO 9001:2008 for quality. These certifications ensure we are compliant with privacy and data protection legislation and are providing best practice – giving clients peace of mind. In addition, IMS's services are multi-jurisdictional and not restricted to the Isle of Man enabling IMS to upload and download data from any secure SFTP site from anywhere and any client in the world. We provide excellent account management and of course we are a Post Office so we know a thing or two about Post!"
The eGR Awards is billed as the eGaming service providers and Business2Business operator's industry event of the year. It's an opportunity to celebrate gaming success and network with senior decision makers. The awards ceremony takes place at The Pavillion, Tower of London on June 6.
