Marketers need to communicate and engage effectively with their prospects and customers in order to succeed. This means branding and messages have to be consistent, timely and relevant to have the most impact. Digital messaging is not only a great and easy way to communicate with customers but, if used strategically, can yield incredible returns. Join Anne-Marie Thompson, Digital Campaigns Manager at MBNA UK, who will give an invaluable insight into how the company addressed a lack of timely and relevant communications with customers and discover how, in partnership with Teradata eCircle, the business set up an award-winning multi-branded alerts program.

- So next we’ll look at the challenges we were facing – what were the problems? As a digital team we are looking firstly at how we can increase engagement in our online channels. No genius to work out that information relating to account is going to grab attention – but need to avoid flooding inbox whilst concentrating on pertinent information Key to point 1) was to provide information that would engage customers and provide them with a reason to stay online. We had identified that customers were calling in “just to check” – it would be more efficient to provide them this info via email and redeploy resource to value-add calls Proactively doing this – predominantly calls to SMS channel – supporting growing range of SMS services Multiple brands – trigger engine would require 52 separate creatives – creates control and resourcing issues Data latency – 4 week turnaround. Needed to move to a quicker turnaround for alert-type comms Fraud strategy is extremely effective but is targeted at individual level – looking at ways to widen the reach by reaching out to Customers to proactively identify potential fraud

- Simply, we built a programme that would deliver email notifications to customers Identify transaction Can range from a customer changing their address through to a promotional offer for balance transfers Select data This is key – data is selected automatically and daily Populate & send email Again, this is key – all happens automatically Dynamically published emails – full partner branding for the first time
- Went out to our business areas to collate ideas Key areas identified Used contact centre analysis to identify “just calling to check” calls – typically change of address, payment received, BT completed Common fraud transactions – OLCS registration, address changes, account activated Marketing offer expiries – closing window for promotional cash offers or reward points triple points deadline Shortlist had to meet one of the following criteria: FTE saving (call deflection, channel migration) Fraud savings (proactively detecting fraud quickly) Revenue generation (cash offers)

- Problem statement….. Open rates dropping off for repeat campaigns (e.g. PSA) Lack of timely and relevant email comms with customers about their accounts Stick rates within channel (email to online) not high Objectives ….. Change customer behaviour Drive value add for customers Optimise journey Solution….. timely, relevant and consistent communications Result… We have seen high levels of customer engagement maintained, with average open rates 114% higher than our monthly newsletter. The open rate on our “payment received” confirmation is above 50%; more than double the industry average.
- Problem statement….. Bespoke creatives for each brand, for each creative Building up to 52 versions Inherent control process for change Resource intensive Objectives ….. Resource Control Branding Solution….. Working with eCircle, a bespoke email template has been created. Depending on the branding and content required, the variable elements such as logos and colours are pulled into the template and deployed. This allows us to create variations for each Strategic Partner within one template for the first time. Test and live environment Result… 52 variations managed within 1 template. Fully tested content change has reduced from 4 weeks to a matter of hours
- Problem statement….. Customers calling in when they can complete tasks online or by text Objectives ….. Change customer behaviour Automate process relevance Solution….. Cross channel promotion – e.g. reminder to use our “Text2Travel” service to notify us of travel abroad. Promotion of DD services All email content CTA is “log in” Result… customers are 10 times more likely to use our SMS service, saving £200k in contact centre staffing costs. Migration to DD from manual payments
- Problem statement….. Dealing with “just to check” calls – have you received my payment? Have you changed my address? When does my cash promo expire? Time is money concept…. Objectives….. Change customer behaviour Identify high call volume drivers Timely alerts Solution….. a suite of automatically generated emails covering account activity that customers call about most frequently (e.g. address changes, payments, promotional offers). Result… 48% reduction in related call volumes, generating a 12 FTE saving.
- Problem statement….. Data out of date Lack of timely comms Objectives ….. automated Controlled relevant Solution….. an automated “trigger engine” detects changes or activity in customer account data. T he engine selects the information and securely transfers it to eCircle. The data is automatically fed into the email template and deployed to the customer. Result… the end-to-end data process runs daily and is 100% automated.
- Problem statement….. Fraud on a case by case basis Relies on mbna detecting fraud Objectives ….. Strategy covered high risk transactions - individually Look for quick wins How can it be measured? Solution….. automatically generated emails asking customers to check certain account activity (e.g. online banking registration). Result… Over £450k fraud savings achieved. Fraudulent activity detected up to 7 times more quickly within 7 days
