Editor's Notes
- Content marketing is the lead-generation tool for bank marketers today.
- Wells Fargo, one of the leaders in content marketing through a variety of channels such as newsletters, blogs, case studies and other solutions-oriented content, is reaping a healthy financial reward for their efforts.Realizing that 70% of sales come from existing customers. As you can see from just a few of many statistics, the cost of doing nothing is likely much greater than that of giving your clients what they want from you.
- Today 90% of purchasing decisions begin online, so78% of business decision makers say they are spending less time face-to-face with sales representatives. This may in part be caused by mistrust. A financial consulting firm found that even before the economic decline, 76% of customers say they don’t trust their bank to act on their behalf rather than its own. And recently, an article in the NYT, stated that the increasing mistrust of banks by their respective customers is creating a higher than normal client defection rate.
- In fact, if you can keep even 5% more of your current corporate clients from leaving, you can increase profitability by as much as 95%.”
- So what exactly is content marketing? Here the definition from Joe Pullizi, our webinar co-presenter.
- This challenge may be an opportunity for financial institutions to prove yourselves trustworthy. By delivering on the needs of the customer, rather than those of the bank, you can build trust, and that trust makes it less likely for them to defect. Experts agree that by providing this kind of business intelligence to clients, there is a big pay off in your profitability.
- Keybank offers an extensive content library that contains highly customized information to assist corporate clients, by job title or industry sector. This enterprise wide reorganization toward customer centricity, a few years ago, seems to be paying off. Chief Customer Experience Officer, Kevin Riley, said that their content-driven loyalty strategy, within it’s first year, resulted in reduced customer churn, an increase in the number of services per client, as well as an increase of 5% in client acquisitions.
- Deutsche Bank is another successful proponent of content-driven marketing. Based on the success of their U.S. communications, last year they added a European and Asian version of this newsletter as well.
- The same thinking, providing the right content to the right customer at the right time, resulted in these newsletters offered by Capital One Bank, this one for mid level Treasury management
- And within this newsletter is a section that tackles high-level strategic issues and solutions, broadening the appeal of the publication to financial managers having responsibilities beyond treasury management.
- For instance, because each of your relationship managers can be given access to the reporting stats of their client and prospect base, their hot prospects can be quickly spotted and responded to.So let’s suppose the reporting shows that Joe Prospect clicked on an article on Remote Deposit and then went on to watch a remote deposit demo. His sales representative can call Joe up and say something like “Joe, a lot of my clients are looking into remote deposit these days, is that something you might want to have a conversation about?”
- Your content can also be re-purposed to fill your pipeline for a number of distribution channels, making great content very feasible economically. Newsletters can be aggregated into white papers, white papers and videos can be posted on your website and social media and all content can be used to build an online resource library.These are all opportunities to reach your hidden market, gain new content subscribers, and continue to build your most valuable marketing asset, your email database.
- One huge added plus here, is that in generating online problem/solution type content, you’re not only engaging your readers, but you’re also much more likely to be found on search engines by those seeking similar solutions or services.
- Finally, by consistently engaging both clients and prospects in this way, you can decreases the sales cycle from months to weeks.Produce an average increase of 78% in qualified leads.Improve conversion rates by one and a half to three times your prior average. And, increase average transaction Size.
