The Importance of Synchronizing Financial Services Marketing with Life Events

Upgrade your bank marketing to trigger marketing

As a financial institution, you are always competing to attract, retain and grow customers, but so are your competitors. The time is now for a fundamental strategic shift to focus on the needs of consumers and businesses with well-timed messaging.

Trigger marketing is a proven strategy that uses data and technology to connect financial institutions with consumers and businesses at key moments. When banks offer meaningful products and services to consumers during important milestone events, a true value-creation opportunity is born.

The power of event-based marketing

Trigger marketing has always had a home in the financial services industry. Credit triggers are commonly used by bank marketers to find consumers who are in the market for new financial services and service providers. In a similar way, life event marketing extends this well-known practice, allowing banks and credit unions to proactively initiate helpful, meaningful conversations with consumers and businesses in the midst of important life stages.

Five life event triggers that financial institutions can bank on

There are five major life events that financial institutions can use to identify consumers actively seeking specific financial products. These life event triggers include:

  1.  Filing for a new business
  2. Getting married
  3. Moving and getting ready to move
  4. Having a baby
  5. Selling a business

Each event-based trigger can focus on a specific financial product, and banks can use the opportunity to personalize their services to the customer's need.
