Transform your bills and statements into powerful marketing opportunities and increase your response rates by 10%+

There’s a new, more effective way to communicate with your customers, that can generate phenomenal marketing results, it’s called Transpromotional.

So what is Transpromotional?

Sometimes called Transpromo or ‘white paper marketing’, Transpromotional analyses the transactional and lifestyle data of your customer, finds a relevant, targeted and timely marketing message for that customer and then puts the message onto a statement, bill or other transactional document.

It is proven that the transactional statement channel holds more customer attention than any other single medium, so if you display your marketing messages through this channel, you greatly increase the chance of your promotional message being seen.

With Transpromo you can revolutionise your statement and billing channel to better reach your customers, better track responses and sales, increase response rates, and breath life into existing transactional documents. It opens up a new communication channel between your company and your customer.

Documents that you may consider a cost to your business can now be turned into documents that actually deliver tangible benefits.

Your marketing not only becomes more effective and relevant but also cheaper and more eco-friendly as costs and waste are dramatically reduced.

How this can work for your business

The 5 ways that Transpromotional can help your marketing performance

  • 1. Enhance customer relationships
    Combining transactional and marketing data will improve how you target relevant propositions to your customers and build 1:1 conversations.

  • 2. Increase response rates
    Because transactional documents are trusted by customers, they respond well to targeted marketing offers through this channel.

  • 3. Cross-sell and up-sell products and services
    You can target your communications better by using your customers transactional data. And to develop optimal campaigns you can use Test and Learn programmes to see how customers react.

  • 4. Improve marketing ROI
    Eliminating marketing wastage within Direct Mail by switching some of this activity to the statement channel will reduce production and postage costs in these campaigns. Increases in response rates will also lead to improved cost per conversion.

  • 5. Generate revenue from transactional communications
    White space exists within most transactional documents and marketers can exploit this free space to create marketing zones within each communication that can generate new revenue streams. You can even sell the white space to external parties.

Need an example?

If you were a utility company that sent out statements to your customers, for example, gas bills, then wouldn’t it be perfect if you could identify which customers you could cross or up sell to. What if you wanted to promote your boiler servicing to the customers who hadn’t had their boilers checked in the past 3 years? You could send out a message only to these customers, offering boiler servicing on the front page of their gas bill.

If you send messages to the right people at the right time then you will have much better results, and you can avoid costly blanket mailing.

In fact you could send all sorts of messages to people who would probably want to hear about your products and services:

  • Insurance at renewal dates
  • Mortgage offers at appropriate times
  • Holiday offers that are interesting to the reader, e.g. discounts on Mediterranean holidays to people who have a history of traveling there.
