The first rule of engagement for bank marketers is to get the attention of the new CFO and other corporate financial executives.
A CFO’s main job is to take away the “financial worry” from their CEO. So how do you demonstrate the value of specific financial services and strategies in terms of quantifiable bottom-line profitability?
In response to a survey of senior corporate executives, here are the four key areas they’ve expressed that would be most useful to them in selecting and doing business with financial partners, that can help them cost-justify their choice.First, they want proof of experience, expertise and credibility within their respective industry. They can obtain this information from industry case studies, relevant white papers and newsletters provided by their business bankSecond, they want information that enables them to establish the total cost of ownership for each proposed business solution. Third, they want their bank or other business partner to clearly outline all the risks as well as the benefits associated with each business solution.And finally, they want the information they receive to be the main facts. They tend to dismiss any sort of promotional lingo or heavy graphics.
The second rule of engagement for commercial bank marketers is to format your content for mobile friendly delivery. With the number of business executives viewing e-mail on mobile devices rapidly increasing, they want content that is easily accessible and viewable via mobile devices.
In the B2B world, there is quantifiable proof that mobile optimization has a substantial impact on bottom-line results.According to a 2012 B2B survey, those who make their online content mobile friendly, are reaping impressive rewards in profitability, including a 50% increase in departmental revenue and a total contribution to their firm’s bottom line by 56%.
We can report some fresh statistics from a recent broadcast of one of our bank client newsletters. Our data tracking detected that some 12% of recipients viewed the e-newsletter on a mobile device. Meanwhile several surveys have indicated that mobile access to content will double by 2014. Accordingly providing a mobile friendly version of your newsletters, and other content, will no doubt increase readership today and even more so as mobile takes over PCs and the primary device for accessing content.
When e-mailing your newsletter, white paper or other content, note how providing a mobile layout can make the user experience much more fluid.The mobile layout features a vertical layout that facilitates easy viewing on a smart-phone. Topics are easy to scan for selection as well. For e-newsletter topics alone, you have the option of providing the topic titles, followed by a brief teaser in which the reader has the option to read more.followed by only a small amount of copy and a link to click-through to a full-text version of each story. This format eliminates the need for mobile users to use cumbersome “pinch and zoom” navigation. Have you made plans to optimize content delivery in this way?FPS has developed the capability to create a mobile-friendly version of your e-mail delivered content as well as mobile-friendly content posted to your Web site. Our technology includes encoding to detect the exact type of mobile device being used—iphone, droid, blackberry, ipad, or tablet so viewers have a very positive experience viewing your content.
The third rule of engagement for bank marketers is to get support for your communications programs from bank budgeting decision-makers.
Collaborating with sales is critical to changing the perception of your marketing program from being a cost center to being a revenue-driver. We’ll be reporting on this strategy in more detail in an upcoming edition of our MarketScope e-newsletter. If you are not already a subscriber you can easily sign up for our monthly e-newsletter by going to the fpsc.com Web site.
The fourth rule of engagement is to clearly establish the return on investment of your marketing plan. Marketing managers today need to think more like CFOs and consider the impact of their campaigns in terms of revenue and profits. Marketers will find it much easier to get their overall budget and individual initiatives approved if they can cite a campaign’s ROI in terms of expected gains in revenue and profits.
Here’s a formula one client bankmarketer used to quantify the ROI of the bank’s client communications program.
