Door drops are classified separately to acknowledge that their targeting and metrics are different.

23. Defining the business sectors
Our methodology
The sectors for mail were developed with the consumers filling in the diary in mind.
Four waves of testing helped to define sectors that panelists would understand and not based on out-dated standard industry classifications.
These classifications have been shortened for the purposes of charts within this presentation.
We do not capture any items categorised as being from Family member or friend, Employer, Other or Didn’t Open or Read.
