9 Circulation Department We re almost there! YES, we re almost there. This is our vocation which we started shaping a while ago, and now it is becoming a fact. We were a Distribution dept. for a long period although our objectives were building Waseet readership with the least possible number of copies. By that time, our systems were still under construction & growing, so we didn t enjoy the privileges of Circulation title. Today, we are proud to announce that our dept. is transformed officially to Circulation by name, by role & responsibilities. What s the difference between Distribution & Circulation? A Distribution dept. is the delivery hand while a Circulation dept. plans Where, When, How & How much A Print Distribution dept. delivers copies, while a Print Circulation dept. distributes contents A Print Distribution dept. distributes, while a Print Circulation Dept. creates Readership DEPARTMENTS 9 Moving into the next level introduced a set of new concepts that were not that obvious to us, like Geo-Marketing, Geographic Information Systems, Direct Mailing, Research & Statistics, Quality Control and data banking & mining. GEO-MARKETING stands for the use of geographical information system in companies in order to physically analyze questions relevant to marketing, sales, coverage and service issues. Company-owned data as well as population, economic and potential data are analyzed by means of digital maps. Customer analysis, market analysis, location and territory analysis are typical areas where geo marketing is used. Apart from that, there are many other areas like the planning of fare zones and delivery zones, distribution areas of means of advertising or the analysis of regional statistics. Further, geo marketing tools serve a clear presentation of data and therefore are excellent tools for graphic business reports. The Waseet Circulation team now masters the Direct Mailing whether in planning or in operating Mass, Selective, Addressed & Events mailing solutions. The circulation team is now able to operate multiple deals a day and tons & millions of flyers a week: a great achievement especially when it comes to Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah & Kuwait operations. We were able to transform our tasks from experimental activity to a proven know-how based on statistics, research and market feedback. No more decisions based on experience or based on assumptions; statistics are now our main tools to decide for our main steps to do on field, covering a sub-region or not, decreasing or increasing circulation in some regions, identifying pools of consumptions and measuring advertisers feedback, measuring people s interaction with Waseet and calculating our penetration growth & single copy reach and many others QUALITY Control is providing Waseet Circulation Team with macro & micro analysis focusing on weaknesses & switching them into competent strengths. Computerized systems & mechanisms were established to ensure standardization and quality results. From now on, our IT Solution is scheduling clusters audit, analyzing & filtering claims, following up closing claims on time & finally informing the Circulation Manager about late Claims through automatic sms. Maher Nassar - AWI Operations & Development & Circulation Manager Finally, all these changes were supported by the heads of circulation departments from all the branches, who have gained enough experience, and have shown dedication and eagerness to improve the department. For you all dear Circulation Team, a deep appreciation.
