Omnichannel cross-selling made easy
Because every customer is unique

Not long ago I was having a conversation with a friend who is 63 years old and a retired teacher. She was telling me that the night before, having dinner with her husband and two more couples was taken aback when she realized that she was the only one at the table who used homebanking. I was surprised too.

These are all college educated people, 60 to 70 years old, professionals, university teachers, creatives, cultured people, some with managerial positions. They constitute the perfect example for discussing Age Agnosticism: they remain active in their professions, they want to contribute to society, take care of their health, travel as much as they can.

The new kind of mature consumers that no longer have a passive attitude towards aging.

If you are a member or the head of a marketing team with three or more people, chances are you’re already automating basic processes such as sending e-mails. Maybe you’re even planning the switch to a single comprehensive tool.

Whose is diverse? 50% plus of any population is female. About 10% of any population define themelves as LGBTQ. Very few countries are racially unique.  Even Japan which, at one time, eschewed immigration and is now encouraging it. 

According to the U.S. Census, more than 50% of the American population is expected to be composed of minority groups by the year 2042. France passed that figure in 2012, the United Kingdom is approaching that figure, Canada is composed of 31% minorities, Australia ditto and so on. And lets not forget those countries, the emerging economies, which are ethically mixed from their inception, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia and so on.

Taking this reality, what is your FI doing in terms of communication?

It's too easy to get complacent, for companies to do a bit about diversity and then ease off...

The HR manager of a multinational company received a directive from head office about a company-wide initiative to tackle what was perceived in the company as a lack of diversity. And like all head office directives, it came with  plans to nominate a local responsible, to create committees, sub-committees, to hold regular teleconference meetings, make reports... ¿sounds familiar?

Promoting diversity has been a key element in modern HR practise for a number of years now. A committment to diversity is seen as a sign of good corporate governance, not just in banks but across all commerce and industry.

The purpose of think-tanks, lobbying groups, campaigns and regulations to encourage diversity is not to soak up minorities but, in diverse societies, to increase creativity and productivity by drawing on the wider range of abilities and knowledge and thus to appeal to wider, more diverse, market segments.

This week, from April 15-17, our team will be at the Financial Brand Forum at Ceasar's Palace!

This three-day event, organized by the Financial Brand, is the biggest trade event on marketing, CX and digital transformation in the banking world.

It is hard to find a bank or credit union whose IT systems are homogeneous, i.e. belonging to a single vendor. More often we come across a wide plethora of brands, models and versions or various eras.

Therefore, interoperability is the keyword that system implementers and users (such as financial institutions) are taking a serious look at, especially when choosing a management system.

Imagine if you had to write an email to each of your contacts, generate attractive content and also spread it. Marketing today is about tools that facilitate all these aspects to realize a strategy in a successful way.

How can a digital marketing platform help us?

For most people, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple, as well as an increasing numbers of others, have become the gold standard in digital experiences. So, inevitably, when dealing with their banks, many customers expectations are high, fine-tuned by their experiences in other online activities.
