15. Sanlam: program background
Forrester’s report
“Bring Brand to Life
With Customer
Journeys” makes the
point “Your brand
promise is empty
unless brand-
infused customer
journeys make it a
reality”.
Six essentials identified:
Journey design must
create the perfect
emotional arc & evoke
target emotions
2. Emotion
The journey must live up
to the central brand
narrative
1. Story
Journey should balance all
types of moments to
create positive memories
4. Memory
Brand personality must be
infused into the language
3. Tone
The journey should connect
the dots and evolve with
customers to build long-term
relationships
6. Fluidity
The journey must weave
in new channels to adapt
to changing expectations
5. Technology
Sanlam Corporate has identified the
importance of engaging with members during
their retirement journey to increase portal
registration and improve retention

The ingestion and synthesis of customer data revealed that the large majority
of members were stalling after having received the Welcome Message. This

Engagement enhancements:
• Referencing the members’ employers in the messages had the greatest
impact on engagement and progress
• Nudges to log in were contextual based upon the retirement goal
information gathered
• Message wording was cut down to create bite-sized dialogues
• Feedback collection was able to measure members’ understanding of
their products, and some of this was incentivized with data vouchers

26. Looking ahead
Sanlam plans to further refine the onboarding journey,
focusing on:
• The impact of interventions so far
• Further fine-tuning for optimisation and growth
Sanlam needs to understand the relationship between
consecutive member journeys (Savings, Changing jobs &
Retirement journeys). Focus will be:
• Ease of identification of cohorts on multiple journeys
• Understanding overall messaging requirements and goals
• Ensuring consistent brand voice across journeys
• Understanding the importance of this layered context at a
member level
