Why Personalizing Credit Unions’ Member Communications Is Key

by | Nov 10, 2021

Personalization is a powerful strategy for companies operating in today’s world, where customer experience is now a key differentiator. Customers expect companies to show that they understand them and their specific needs at each point in their journey. They also expect consistency in communications, regardless of the source or channel.

Personalization is vital for companies looking to build long-term relationships with customers. For credit unions, who have always provided a local, high-touch and personalized service, personalizing digital interactions and more specifically member communications are now imperative.

Personalization is also great for the organization’s bottom line, as it drives better engagement and revenue.

Understanding the value of personalization

Recent research by Keypoint Intelligence confirms that consumers recognize and respond to personalization.

About 45% of consumers spent much more time reviewing digital marketing communications that were personalized and relevant to them than generic communications. This share was even higher for direct mail (52%).

As cited by 43% of consumers, personalization was the top factor that made consumers more likely to read or review a digital marketing communication.

Only about 37% of consumers were frequently or very frequently receiving highly personalized marketing communications, so is there is certainly room for improvement.

Businesses have realized that personalization is very important to consumers. According to Keypoint Intelligence’s Vertical Visions research, 84% of financial/banking firms that used direct mail customized or personalized these pieces to have more targeted messaging. Of these firms, the vast majority report significantly or moderately higher response rates on personalized/customized direct mail.

 

In the Shift to Customer Experience Management (CXM) Credit Unions’ Member Communications Need to Be Personalized

Across industries, we’re seeing a shift from Customer Communication Management (CCM) to Customer Experience Management (CXM).

Credit unions can boost member experience through personalized interactions. To achieve this, they can engage members with communications that are:

  • Frequent and ongoing – to maintain good engagement
  • Connected across touchpoints of the member journey – where one communication triggers the next
  • Omnichannel and delivered in the member’s preferred channel
  • Ad hoc and frequently interactive, supporting 2-way engagement
  • And, most importantly, PERSONALIZED

 

4 Innovative ways to Personalize Credit Unions’ Member Communications

The latest release of Doxim CCM incorporates 4 powerful new tools credit unions can leverage to achieve effective, personalized communications that deliver business results:

Targeted, Personalized Onserts – drive demand by including onserts, which are advertisements and messages that appear directly on member statements and communications, in designated blocks. But, because no member is the same, marketing business users can segment their members, design and upload onsets for each segment and apply logic – so that during document generation the process will automatically select and include the right onsert based on the individual member’s data.

Self-Serve Correspondence – give your customer service team the ability to send urgent communications to members. Doxim CCM Self-Serve Correspondence gives them the control, speed, and agility they need to rapidly author service communications and, in doing so, deliver a better member experience.

Personalized, Interactive Video – satisfy members, motivate them to act, drive conversions and wallet share, as well as lower the cost per sale with Doxim CCM Interactive Video. It delivers an interactive and personalized experience – providing the ‘personal touch’ that credit union members have become accustomed to.

Interactive Documents – Provide rich, interactive information and personalized end-to-end engagement – all contained within the capsule of a PDF document and sent securely to the customer via email with Doxim CCM Interactive Documents.
