This demographic purchases the category at the same rate as the Total US. • 100-120 is a good match • 121+ is a very high match • Item $ Per Item Buyer • Dollar / Item Buyers • The average annual dollars spent on this category per buyer.

  9. How Twellow Works • How did Twellow get my data? • Twellow takes advantage of the freely-available public data feeds that come from the Twitter service. If your updates are not set to protected, then your messages sent via Twitter will be included in these feeds. Twellow then captures the data, parses it for matches within our categories, and enters your information into our system.

Self Identified Twitter Users In SuperValu’s Banners • Acme • Philadelphia-11,000 (Pennsylvania-27,427) • Jewel • Chicago-28,611 (Illinois-38,223) • Shaw's • Boston-15,513 (Massachusetts-24,814) • Albertsons Southern California • Los Angeles-12,966 (California-103,475) • San Diego-12,649 • Albertsons Intermountain West • Salt Lake City-2,876 (Utah-5,305) • Seattle-15,855 (Washington-26,857) • Portland-8,798 (Oregon-13,761) • Cub Foods • Minneapolis-7,189 (Minnesota-11,380) • Local Reference • Little Rock-943 (Arkansas-3,345) • Fayetteville-470 • Springdale-73 Source: Twellohood twellow.com as of 5/28/2009

  11. Putting It All Together • We know: • How close the banner’s operating area matches the Twitter demographic and which banners are better matches and should be targeted first. • Age (under 35) • Income (< $30k, >$100 k) • Region (Urban Dwellers) • How many Twitter users are in each of the banner’s operating area. • How much the average customer spends on a category annually. • We can now estimate how much additional sales can be generated by converting Twitter users to SuperValu shoppers.

  12. Potential Sales Calculations • Estimated sales are calculated by: • Number of Twitter users in a SuperValu banner • Times the average dollars spend per shopper (green highlighted rows) • Times an estimated conversion factor (20% of Twitter users become new shoppers) • Other Estimate Considerations: • The number of Twitter users per region is self reported. Twitter users are not required to include their location in their profiles. This means there are probably more users in all of these regions. • Twitter users in adjacent cities are not included which will also increase potential new customers.
