This document summarizes a presentation on using member data to strengthen the bottom line. It discusses using relevant data to better target marketing and identifies several priority and secondary strategies. The priority strategies focus on laser-focused retention of top clients, maximizing wallet share through identifying gaps, improving new client development, promoting bundled checking accounts, and using a logical member growth strategy. Case studies show implementing these strategies can significantly improve revenue and reduce attrition. Secondary strategies include member triage activities and guerrilla prospecting to find new prospects.

90% of net income; Top 20% for 100% +
• 30% to 50% of these clients are completely
unknown to branch/call center staff
• Average annual attrition for this group is 10-15%

16. Priority Strategy:
Laser-Focused Retention: Case Study
• Group “frozen” & tracked each year
• Top Decile indicator on member record
• Commitment from field staff to be very familiar with this
group
• Over-sampled in yearly satisfaction surveys
• Multi-pronged communications plan: direct mail, email,
phone
• Results: Decreased attrition & enhanced bottom line (See
results on previous slide)
17. Priority Strategy:
Maximizing Wallet Share
• All low value/small position clients are not
created equal
• You are likely missing 30-40% of total
wallet – even from the most valuable
clients

Maximizing Wallet Share: Case Study
• Branch-specific VIP Priority Prospects identified
• Special “under the radar” promotions developed &
consistently delivered via direct marketing (mail,
email, phone) over a 12-month period
• Results: $19,700,000 deposited in promo
accounts – 76% new money
20. Priority Strategy:
New Client Development

been more focused on getting the getting the
next new member than expanding the ones they
just won!
• 90 days after acquisition, 75% of new clients
have only a single service
21. Priority Strategy:
New Client Development: Case Study
• 1,237 new consumer clients acquired in the
period analyzed
• After 90 days, 86% had only 1 service; after 6
months, 78% still had only 1 service
• Average consumer client performance ratio = 38%

Member Triage Activities
• Most clients exhibit tell-tale behavior prior to
closing an account or ending a relationship
• More cost-effective to discover/manage

32. Secondary Strategy:
Guerilla Prospecting
• Uncover & focus on neighborhoods where
you are successful at the desired behavior…
Clients with Home Equity Prospects in That Area…
33. Secondary Strategy:
De-Marketing
• Embrace the truth that you can’t – and
shouldn’t – invest in all members
• Identify & isolate long-term members who are
low value/balance and low potential
• Find low-cost communications alternatives
• Allocate resources to members where
possible return is greater
34. “The purpose of computing is
insight not numbers”.

35. Data Modeling
• Transforms your member information into stronger
relationships that drive business growth through
personalized print and digital media services.
– Provide high-impact client insight
– Align with cost-effective communication programs to fully
leverage this new intelligence
– Drive your data with little impact on your internal resources
• Business results provide the case for doing the work
• Bottom line improvements are the objective
