The 10 Best Ways to use Customer Marketing Data

Question: 
What are the 10 Best Ways to Use My MCIF system?
Answer: 

How you use your Marketing Customer Information File (MCIF) will be determined, to a large extent, on your bank's strategic business objectives (SBOs). Some of the most productive uses of an MCIF system include:

  1. Identify the Top 10% of Households by profit contribution.
  2. Identify the profitability and breakeven balances of accounts and products
  3. Identify cross sell ratios by total bank, branch and/or individual
  4. Analyze the profitability and track results of marketing campaigns
  5. Identify opportunities to expand relationships of single account and new households.
  6. Communicate the next most likely product a household will purchase to aid frontline sales efforts.
  7. Compare different pricing scenarios, including attrition, and their impact on profitability.
  8. Maximize marketing resources through target marketing and avoidance of duplicate mailings to the same household.
  9. Identify "at risk" households because of reduction in loan and/or deposit balances.
  10. Identify maturing CDs and loans and develop proactive marketing strategies to increase retention.(The industry norm is 60% retention for CDs which can be increased to 80%+ with proactive marketing.)
