TAW subscriber profiles CHALLENGE: Age on file: Subscriber profiled interests become out of date A subscriber’s behavior is • Subscribers rarely update their profile • Profiling campaigns cost are high • We have seen weak results with profiling campaigns more relevant to us 10

TAW’s goal OPPORTUNITIES: • Identify the most valuable subscribers • Determine high-priority content GOAL: • Target the high-priority content to the actively engaged subscriber based upon their behavior 11

TAW subscriber database analysis Identifying the most valuable subscribers: • All subscribers have a unique identifier • Determine engagement “clusters” • Observe their activity in TAW and on HP.com HP has a strict privacy policy that requires our subscribers permission when they opt-in to our communications. 12

Behavioral test population We identified: • TAW SMB subscribers • HP.com activity within 90 days Which results in a population equal to 2% of the database. 13

Content grouping High-priority content: • Create unique content for 6 product groups • Monthly editorial board meetings drive messaging/offers 14

Behavioral test results Behavioral test population: • 300% higher open rates • 600% higher click-through rates • 18% increase in site traffic These behavioral tests allow us to: • Report metrics for those actively engaged with HP • Analyze content between non-behavioral and behavioral clusters • Provide opportunities for the business units to target messaging to the actively engaged 19

Behavioral test next steps • Qualify a larger group for behavioral content • Include additional product/service groups • Change static images and static titles based upon groups • Expand type of content (social media, videos, etc.) used within the newsletter • Generate predictive opportunities based upon past behavior 20
