In 2020, Covid drastically curtailed traffic to your branches. Your customers are probably not coming back on site for the rest of this year. And next year there may be fewer branches for them to come back to, as many banks and credit unions expect to close some of their branches. Meanwhile, the largest banks and new fintech organizations are actively competing to acquire your customers. Their immense marketing budgets enable them to get in front of your customers online, through social media and contextual advertising. And that’s where your customers are now, having been forced by the pandemic to perform their banking transactions online.
You Offer What Your Customers Want – But Is That Enough?
You’ve worked hard to create products and services to serve your customers. But their lives are busy and complex. Your existing customers may not be taking advantage of all of the products and services your bank offers because they don’t have the time or bandwidth to consider them. Personal banking customers may not be aware that they qualify for features like overdraft protection or purchase reward programs. Your business customers may not know that you’ve extended your deposit hours or offer new merchant services. Before this year, you counted on relationships in the branch to inform customers of these features. Now you need to use digital touchpoints through email and text to continue the conversation.
The customers who walk into your branches aren’t treated like strangers. In the same way, they expect to be treated like individuals when they engage with your business online. The communications you send should demonstrate that you understand what they need and how they want to interact with you.
The Good News: Opportunities Await
There is good news, however. Consumers want to buy from organizations they trust. You already have a relationship with your customers that’s built on trust, and that opens the door to other revenue-generating opportunities. Also, your organization holds significant volumes of customer data that can help you target offers and personalize messaging. This data can reveal new insights into your customers that can enable you to create relevant communications. In the past, this data was inaccessible, locked up in existing core systems and inaccessible by marketing software or communications composition tools. Fortunately, a customer engagement platform from DataOceans makes it possible to use your existing customer data to remain competitive.
