5. The first step to success in the financial realm is prioritization. A Strategy
Prioritization Matrix can help you to determine the most strategic projects to
help your business get the most “bang for its buck.” Create the matrix by
listing the impact on the X axis (high or low) and the ease of implementation
on the Y axis (hard or easy). Then, within the matrix, classify potential projects
in one of four buckets: Quick Wins (High Impact, Low Effort), Must Haves
(High Impact, High Effort), Low-Hanging Fruit (Low Impact, Low Effort) and
Money Pits (Low Impact, High Effort).

6. Your matrix might look something like this:
This will help clarify those areas requiring the greatest focus.

8. Prospective clients that may be relocating to your area will likely be in search
of a local bank. Depending on a potential customer’s degree of wealth, he or
she may also need other financial planning services such as estate planning or
wealth management. Creating a strategy to deliver your message into
prospect’s inbox will assist in the growth of your audience.

9. It’s important to have a strategy in place to ensure that yours is the first financial
services company to reach these potential clients, including the development
of efficient on-boarding processes. For many financial service providers, these
outreach efforts can prove to be “Quick Win,” as outlined in the previous
matrix.

11. “Retargeting is often the most effective and efficient acquisition strategy on a
cost-per-account basis. It’s also a good way to capitalize on a person’s
interest, as retargeting is only triggered after a person visits your site or clicks
on your content.”
In many ways, digital retargeting can successfully work in tandem with direct
mail efforts, as one banking business achieved a lift of 40% after pairing digital
retargeting efforts with a direct mail campaign.
