Stop attrition in its tracks

A financial services firm was losing 200-300 of its business banking clients each month and needed to renew its focus on retaining clients. Its goal was to minimize attrition and drive growth by engaging targets via zero-party data collection and one-on-one conversations with bank relationship managers. The ultimate goal was to renew and deepen those client relationships.

A multi-touch approach

We developed and delivered a multi-touch reengagement campaign to C-Suite decision-makers to build awareness and motivate reengagement behaviours through multiple touchpoints. We also rewarded them if they completed a survey. The touchpoints included:

  • Launch outreach: email
  • Non-responder outreach: email and direct mail kit
  • Online client surveys
  • Gifts awarded for survey completion

Exceeding growth expectations

The campaign exceeded the client’s expectations. The combination of touchpoints had a positive impact, with 134 new opportunities identified, over $1.6M in new business, 58 business solutions won, and an ROI of 17:1.
