Business Acquisition & Cross Sell
Business account holders are often overlooked as potential new account prospects. This institution ran a successful business campaign that opened many accounts.
As a 10th anniversary offer, this east coast bank promoted its business line of credit and high-yield money market accounts. The campaign was mailed to both current business accountholders and area business prospects.
Gift Offer Strategy
Offers work best and generate the most attention when tailored to the prospects. In this case, the bank offered a $10 gift certificate redeemable at a Staples store. When an account opened, the business would receive a $100 Staples gift card and be entered into a drawing for a $2,500 office makeover.
This unique combination of offers broke through barriers and attracted the attention of many business owners.
