Banking Industry Case Study
Background
As a local bank, you’re likely looking to attract new customers and differentiate yourself from larger national banks. One of our clients, a community bank, faced this exact challenge.
Objective
The bank aimed to increase new checking account sign-ups through a targeted email marketing campaign, enhanced with consumer foot traffic data from competitors’ locations (CFTD).
Strategy
- Local Focus : We emphasized the benefits of banking locally and supporting the community.
- Targeted Audience: We focused on residents within the bank’s service area who were likely to be interested in local banking options.
- Visual Appeal : We designed visually appealing emails with clear, professional images and branding.
- Clear Messaging : We highlighted the specific benefits of the checking accounts, such as no fees and easy access to local branches.
- Display Advertising : We used CFTD to deploy targeted display ads, reinforcing the email messaging and reaching potential customers more effectively.
Results
- Enhanced Brand Perception : The campaign significantly improved the perception of the bank as a community-oriented institution, with a 65% increase in positive customer feedback.
- Increased Website Traffic: The compelling content and CTAs, supported by display ads, led to a 55% increase in visits to the bank’s website.
- Higher Engagement : The email open rates increased by 40% due to the targeted and appealing content.
- Customer Referrals : The campaign encouraged existing customers to refer friends and family, resulting in a 30% increase in new account sign-ups through referrals.
