Merchant Marketing
Biller (merchant) marketing of Visa Bill Pay generated more than 180 milliondirect marketing impressions in the last year.
Participating marketing partners within the insurance industry includedFarmers Insurance and St. Paul Travelers Insurance.
In the retail (non-bill payment) marketplace, there is minimal amount ofgrowth potential for payments.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, STAR, NYCE, PULSE, andmany of the major issuers are all focused on increasing the amount of billpayments paid via credit card, debit card.
These companies are going to more aggressively market bill payment toconsumers who are going to request bill payment capabilities from insurers.
Marketing will include television, Web, statement inserts, magazine and otherforms of media. Incentives are being increased to push consumers in thisdirection.
What is the message to pass to your customer service agents who will betaking calls from customers that want to know, can I pay with my credit card?
