The Ultimate Game changer in the History of Banking

 



Have you been to an ATM recently?Noticed any changes?YES! It's because banks are monetizing their ATM networks against the background Of ATM Target market expected to reach $30.50 billion by 2027  in a strategy called ATM Targeted Marketing.

   Targeted marketing is an excellent way to turn the ATM network into a conversion generation tool . In fact, quite a few banks started to target customers and non customers on their ATM’s successfully. ATM targeted marketing is one way of monetizing ATM networks while offsetting banking operational expenses.Though the targeted interactive marketing  is  picking up slowly ,i can assure you this is the ultimate gamechanger in the history of banking.


RELATED :The Case for ATM Marketing

MERITS OF THE ATM TARGETED MARKETING


•Banks can now craft successful campaigns through the technology like the campaign above requiring customers to acquire the new debit card and its working so far.

•Acquire new customers by the contact that is feedbacked by the new customers while on the p.o.f


•Banks can sell other products through the interactive technology


•Banks can get feedback from the targeted customers to which the banks can utilize on such info

However,ATM targeted marketing needs to be executed with caution if you may ask for an advice from me. Why?Because the consumer is at the ATM for a very short period of time and for a very specific purpose(withdraw money), so here are some tips to a successful ATM targeted marketing;

•The message should be short and precise so as to reduce the transaction time over the ATM.It should be short and precise to get to the mind of the targeted customers and get digested in a span of second or 30s.The shorter and more precise it is,the more  a lead is likely to be generated.

READ

•Consumer experience should be key or rather top most priority.If the consumer experience is affected then the bank is doomed .First time,i felt distracted by the screen like so many targeted messages were blinking on the screen.I wasn't comfortable at all.I felt like this interactive message was invading my privacy at the atm.


•Bankers should always diversify their interactive messages just to test which method generates more leads.They can use call to action buttons and many others rather than just relying on one.

   CONCLUSION  

ATM targeted marketing still has a long way to go.As per now,this technology is beneficial to the banks as it offsets the banks operational expenses.This is a sitting cash cow.How i wish more banks could embrace this technology in the right way

Iran’s Su-35 Aircraft Procurement Is More Dangerous Than You Think

 The Su-35 procurement is not only a defense deal but also a strategic manifestation, proving the bitter cost of appeasement and naivety.   Taking advantage of Russia’s growing reliance on low-cost Iranian weapons amidst its stumbling campaign in Ukraine, Iran is now set to procure dozens of Russian Su-35 aircraft. While some Western assessments tend to downplay the gravity of the acquisition, claiming that it would not drastically alter the airpower balance in the Gulf, the Su-35 would give an unprecedented boost to Tehran’s control over the Iranian airspace. Such a capability development effort is particularly dangerous as the regime is moving closer to a nuclear bomb. More importantly, the ambitious barter of Russian Su-35 fighters in return for Iranian drones, and probably ballistic missiles, manifests a grim calculus for the West. Contemporary military transactions between Tehran and Moscow have unveiled a new geopolitical episode. Washington and its allies are now facing...

Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality

  Only read if you don't mind being offended. Bitcoin, Idealism, and Frugality 2021-09-29 I guess I haven't talked much about my Bitcoin adventures. Nor idealism coming before common sense with finances. Maybe one of you out there is young and idealistic. Your views around money follow suit. You don't really care about losing money, you just care about doing the right thing. Is that so bad? Maybe it isn't the best idea. I hope I can talk some sense into you. First experience with Bitcoin I don't have the most consistent recollection of my journey with Bitcoin. But most likely, I heard about it at the second Slashdot posting. I fired up one machine and mined three blocks in a week. It might have been on a laptop....
