Data-Rich Campaigns, Customer Onboarding, the Metaverse and Beyond!

Beyond the Click Workshops: Create Data-Rich Campaigns

The days of a traditional campaign are gone. So too, are the ways we measure them. In today’s data-rich environment, you can more easily tap into campaign data to measure marketing efforts. We will challenge you to think beyond the click as we take you through interactive case studies, processes, videos, and a briefing on the tools you need to make data driven decisions for any campaign.

Specifically, you will learn about:

  • Google optimization
  • Keyword strategy and implementation
  • Locations optimization
  • User experience tips
  • How to leverage and understand free Google data tools
  • Google Analytics/GA4
  • Google Tag Manager
  • Google Data Studio
  • Putting your data to use
  • Building an audience
  • Developing a strategic creative brief
  • Understanding KPIs (and getting senior leadership to understand too!)
  • Tracking and analyzing campaign results/Return on Investment (ROI)

Beyond the Click Workshops: Level Up Your Customer Onboarding

Your bank probably spends hundreds of dollars to acquire a new account; but you can successfully retain and build that relationship for pennies on the dollar. With a truly personalized (not a product litany list) automated, high-touch digital onboarding program you can build a relationship with your account holder that increases share of wallet, reinforces your brand and lowers attrition rates.

In this immersive session, we will work hands on to identify required data points, how to build a tailored communication plan, and activate full account usage, incorporating email, landing pages, retail branch staff and/or customer service representatives, digital retargeting, and direct mail.

How Marketing Must PERFORM

The class will choose 3 of the topics below and get key insights and quick takeaways:

1. What is the Metaverse and how should my bank get ready for it?

2. Tactics to retain share of wallet with your most profitable customers.

3. Understanding the potential brand impact of ESG.

4. Tips to avoid today’s compliance potholes.

5. How to create and deliver effective board-level reports.

How Marketing Must TRANSFORM

Learn the 3 most important questions facing your bank and what you can do to help your CEO answer them.

A Practical Approach to Calculating Your Marketing ROI

Marketing professionals are frequently challenged to create a Return on Investment (ROI) to justify their marketing investments. It might seem like a daunting task, but it isn’t. Using case studies, examine how marketing professionals can calculate an ROI for common marketing activities.

How to Develop and Sustain an Effective Referral Culture

Simply introducing a referral program doesn’t guarantee success. To be successful, referral programs must be easy-to-manage, credible, visible, and focused. Does your referral program meet these standards? Properly structured referral programs aren’t programs at all. They are cultures. Employee and manager accountability, product growth and relationship longevity are all by-products of a functioning referral culture. You will also benefit from the relationship potential of reaching your best source of future business…your customers. This session will give you guidelines and support tools to develop a management structure for your referral culture. 

    All times stated are Central Time.
