Online Video Alternatives are being Adopted
Online Video Demo is Older Than You Think
(Nielsen: 2012)
“Video over the Internet has become an established part of viewing habits for most consumers, in most countries and across all age groups. Once seen as the preserve of the younger, forward looking and technologically savvy, we’re now seeing the platform mature as a mass media channel.”

Elements of Digital Marketing Website and “Satellite” Microsites
SEO (including Online P.R. & Reputation Management)
Paid Search – Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC Display (a.k.a. Banner Ads) & Recapture Marketing
E-Mail Marketing & Lead Nurturing
Mobile Marketing
Social Media
Content Development & Distribution (Ex. Whitepapers & Infographics)
Online Video
Internet Radio
Website Vs. Microsite
A company’s website is like a brochure, describing all products and services offered
It encourages users to explore and browse the company, its history, products, etc.
Website Vs. Microsite (BankHumanAgain.com)
A microsite hones-in on a single product, focusing the user’s attention and path
Microsites enjoy greater Conversion Rates and ROI

SEO (Organic Search) and Paid Search
Up to 10 Paid and 10
Organic Search Positions on
Page 1 of SERP’s
Paid Search Ads run on top
and to the right of Organic
Search Results
Strive to have both Paid
and Organic positions (2X)

SEO & Digital Reputation Management
How you are viewed online is
how your brand is viewed –
Page 1 of Google is like front
page news
Although Paid Search ads
allow you to “control the
message”, Organic Search
drives greater Consumer trust
and higher brand perception
Pay Per Click (PPC) Display (Banners)
Banner ad is contextually-targeting content of news article
Purchased opportunistically (via ad exchanges) and with PPC pricing
60+% of visitors abandon your site without taking a desired action (Coremetrics/IBM, 2012)
Without Recapture, these users are either lost forever or are cost-prohibitive to recover
An end-to-end Recapture strategy delivers “warm leads” at a fraction of the cost of initial visit
Align “point of abandonment” with “customized ad creative” and appropriate “landing page”
Leverage Recapture to cross-sell products (ex. serve Mortgage ads to Checking customers)
Recapture Marketing Protects & Grows
Mobile Media & Mobile Microsites
The Mobile universe offers similar Paid Search and PPC Display ad opportunities as on Desktop
Design ads that display clearly on smaller screens
Make sure your landing environment displays appropriately on the devices you target
and Calls To Action (CTA) are Mobile-friendly (i.e. form and video functionality)
Social Media Facebook ads target geo, user
demographics, and self-identified
interests
LinkedIn ads target user-identified
skills, titles, companies, and industry
organizations to which they belong
Target your audience granularly to
invest media spend only on those
users most likely to convert
Facebook and LinkedIn ads are both
PPC priced
The requested call-to-action must
be sensitive to a social environment
Online Video: Targeted Branding
Associate your TV spots with local sport teams, national events, “how to” content, news, etc.
Measure every video view, completion rate, site visits and actions on site to quantify the ROI
Internet Radio: Listen & Take Action
Combine visual branding and interactivity to what has traditionally been audio-only
Ads live in single-spot “pods”, encouraging users to wait just :15-:30 until the music resumes
Measure every audio and banner ad impression, site visits, and actions on your site to justify ROI
Main Website, Satellite Targeting
Conversion Architecture
Usability
Objective Standards
“Continue the Conversation”
Objective Standards: F-Pattern Browsing
Design websites in an F-shaped pattern. Eye-
tracking studies clearly show that users consistently view sites in an F-shaped pattern.
Microsite Best Practices
• Emphasize desired “actions”
• Optimize for conversion
• Show consumers your value
• Target segmented audiences
• Continue the conversation
OAO Will Continue to Grow
Source: Online Banking Report “Improving Online Account Opening” June 2012
But Branches Remain Key
• Channel Convergence is an “And” Proposition - Online is additive
• Branches remain a key interaction point for customers, no matter how
popular Online/Mobile channels become
The OAO Process is Too Cumbersome
• Metrics Marketing Group compared the account opening process
amongst 13 top financial institutions:
• According to Forrester Research, 58% of visitors who experience usability
problems on a website never return.
• In addition, the average website can double its conversion rate by
designing for increased usability. (Source: IBM)
Only ~20% Successfully Complete OAO
Source: Google Analytics on 400,000+ Andera applications from 26 institutions in 2012.
• Of every 10 applications started on Andera’s account opening platform in 2012,
approximately 5 applicants abandoned before submitting their application, 2 failed
the institution’s risk management strategy, and 1 abandoned after approval.
And Revenue is Lost…But There is Hope
• Javelin Strategy & Research’s latest research report — “2012 Online Account
Opening: Faulty Process Hobbles FI’s in the Battle for Customer Acquisition,
Profitability and Retention” — reveals that:
• Financial institutions (FI’s) lost at least $873 million dollar,
conservatively, in potential revenue, as 5.8 million customers
attempted - and failed - to open accounts online.
Recapture Marketing
helps mitigate this lost
revenue resulting from
OAO abandonment

Other Reasons for Abandonment
• Why do OAO attempts fail?
• Poor integration – Core/OAO, OAO/funding vehicle, OAO/Internet banking...
• No eSignature technology available from FI
• OAO only available for existing customers/members
• Desired account type not supported by the FI for online opening
• Credit card funding is not widespread
Advanced Solution from inSegment:
• inSegment has developed a method of recovering people who abandon OAO
platforms, even if they drop before entering their contact info into the app

Assigning unique customer numbers allows for quality assurance when the customer calls for support. Also allows convenience if the user chooses to resume OAO process at a later date.
Custom OAO Platform: ING Direct
Live Chat box appears after 30 seconds. One can simply choose to begin chatting, or continue the process on their own
Custom OAO Platform: BOA
OAO Key Takeaways
• Meet the customer where and how they want to be met
• Create a consistently positive customer experience across channels
• Realign sales and customer service to cater to unique channel needs
• Align sales incentives with channel and customer experience
• Break down the “silos” of different media channel operation
• Extend your presence to where you don’t have brand presence today
While we cannot all afford custom OAO platforms, we can push 3rd party
OAO providers to evolve and offer features used by the largest FI’s
