Marketing EffectivenessSM

Compete analyzes in-market consumer behavior to provide financial institutions an unparalleled view into efforts aimed at generating demand, driving new account openings and increasing share of wallet. Demand for products and services can be correlated to marketing spend and differentiated across highly-valued consumer segments. Marketing Effectiveness services focus on:

  • Demand Assessment evaluates the impact of marketing spend on consumer demand for financial services products, providing marketers with an assessment of their share of prospect interest and cost per shopper compared to rivals;
  • Brand Loyalty correlates online and offline marketing efforts to increase overall brand awareness, favorability and consumer consideration allowing marketers to benchmark brand strength relative to competitors;
  • Segment Development isolates target segments through a combination of demographic, behavioral and psychographic characteristics, allowing marketers to measure and improve segment-based marketing initiatives;
  • Customer Risk Assessment identifies the motivations and behaviors of at-risk customers before they transfer a portion of their assets to a competitor. The assessment enables marketers to develop strategies and tactics to maintain or increase share of wallet and improve customer loyalty.
