A $196.3 million dollar community bank was able to generate $5.77 million dollars in new deposits by creating a single-instance targeted campaign using Core iQ, the first all-in-one marketing platform for banks and credit unions.

In an effort to grow deposits, the community bank decided to send a CD promotional offer to 1,948 of its customers in good standing, and without a current CD.

By using Core iQ, this community bank was able to:

  • Maximize its reach
  • Control its costs

The bank was able to quickly build its target audience by pulling a list of its existing customers based on relevant criteria. They found 1,948 of its current customers that had one or more active core deposit accounts, without a current CD, and a minimum average balance of $2,000.

They sent 1,948 direct mail postcards to its target audience, spending a total of $3,400. However, they were able to generate 72 new CDs and $5,768,706.91 in new deposits.
