Monthly statements and bills represent a frequent and prominent communication with
customers. While previous research has established the negative customer perception
provoked by these communications, standard practices underestimate the
consequences of this interaction on the customer relationship. Strengthening the
customer relationship across multiple touch points, including the bill/statement and web
is an essential component of any successful CRM strategy. Current industry standards
and practices neglect to do so at a critical moment in the customer lifecycle: transaction
mail. Strengthening this customer engagement will increase brand loyalty, reduce churn,
and enhance opportunities to cross-sell and upsell.

Below is a summary of three (3) monthly campaigns conducted in partnership with a


Credit Union of comparable size to Texans Federal Credit Union. Campaigns were
included on the exterior envelopes of mailings to current members that consisted of 90%
statements and 10% Visa bills.

Over the duration of the campaigns, CCM carefully monitored member feedback. In
addition to surveying those members who responded to campaigns and visited the
campaign’s website, CCM also measured the number of member calls/emails to the
Credit Union regarding campaigns. That feedback is included on the last page of this
document. Member interest was overwhelmingly positive with interest trending toward
campaigns that focused on the Entertainment sector (Film, Television, and Music).
Furthermore, twenty three (23) percent of panelists responded with “extreme interest” in
future campaigns while twenty nine (29) percent responded with “interest.” In aggregate,
the credit union received 10 queries regarding campaigns. These inquiries represent
less the one tenth of one percent of the aggregate audience.
