Who Needs to Be At the Table?

different places

• Show each person in the

room that you understand

their pain and daily

challenges

• Play into the needs and

wants of each stakeholder

• Cross-selling loan refinancing

• Upselling and leveraging car leasing data

• Credit card statements with relevant coupon offers

• A hotel key folder that is personalized with loyalty points and a coupon for hotel services.

• An e-statement with a Website link for a “special offer”

• A personalized delivery receipt accompanying merchandise with additional offers

Transforming Business Costs into Profits

• Primary initiator for a

TransPromo engagement

marketing campaigns while

delivering ROI

TransPromo: Understanding Marketing “Pain Points”

Helping the Marketing Professional

Helping marketing professionals means

implementing new ideas that create

value, such as:

• Reaching new markets and expanding existing ones

• Acquiring an integrated view of the customer

• Improving time to market • Leveraging the Web with multiple

touchpoints• Measurement and feedback loop for

marketing campaigns• Justifying marketing ROI

The Discussion with Marketing

• Marketing ROI is key

• Independent direct mailings are expensive!

• Transaction documents are sent at regular

intervals anyway… and they are read!

• Adding marketing messages to the transaction

document can meet marketing objectives while

staying within budget

• Motivated by individual

product line profit and loss

• Illustrate the benefits of

statements for customer

retention, cross-selling, and

upselling

• Opportunity to cut across

product line silos and drive

product line synergy

− e.g., selling car insurance to

individuals with homeowner

policies

Product Line Managers: The Next Stopping Point

Discussions with Product Line Managers

• You need to ensure the success and profitability

of your product line.

• The transaction documents that your company

sends offer a valuable opportunity for you to

speak to customers and prospects for your

product

• TransPromo offers the opportunity to cut across

product line silos and drive synergy

The finance department wants

promote products and leverage

customer data in the most

economical way to protect

revenue and manage cash flow

• Postage

• On-time payment

• Reductions in call center volumes

• Migration to e-presentment

The Finance Executive

The Discussion with Finance

• Remittance is first and foremost to you –

keeping bill delivery on schedule is non-

negotiable

• A document redesign can improve operational

efficiency by enhancing customer

communication and reducing call center volume

• TransPromo enables communication of

mandatory regulatory information – without the

need for creating a separate communication

• Data – the lifeblood of the TransPromo campaign

• The right IT resources to:− Segment data− Append data from

external lists− Establish appropriate

campaign triggers

• Support dynamic document composition

• Regulatory compliance

• Manage workflow from creation to fulfillment in a secure environment

And Then There’s IT…

The Discussion with IT

• We know that the transaction data is important

to you

• We want marketers to be able to use the data

to be more effective in their communications

• They will need your help getting there, and it

might require the purchase of software

• Let’s start by discussing your limitations and

capabilities

The Discussion with Print Operations

• You run on a tight schedule and you want to

avoid complications at all costs

• Any complexity created by TransPromo is

completed by the end of document composition

• If you are already a transaction printer and the

company is using the same devices for

TransPromo, you have nothing to fear

Bringing it Together: The Value to the

ORGANIZATION

• TransPromo meets both marketing and operational

objectives

• TransPromo does not necessarily mean third-party

advertising on your document – internal

communications can be just as valuable

• Look at your current communications, discuss the

desired state, and then finish with a gap analysis

• TransPromo works!

• Strengthen brand image and create competitive distinction

• Improve bill clarity and reduce call center traffic

• Use special offers to upsell, cross-sell, and drive business results

• Generate revenue by selling advertising space

• Use personal messaging to build brand loyalty

• Strengthen and expand multi-channel marketing
