Schaumburg, Ill., Aug. 18, 2008 — A common problem for businesses with multiple locations is finding and targeting new customers within each local market. Experian Marketing Services is helping businesses identify potential customers by looking not only at people who live near a business’ specific location, but also at a variety of factors that may influence the likelihood they will respond to marketing offers.
Experian Marketing Services’ Business Market AnalyzerSM models the traits of a business’ best customers and applies this insight to all consumers in the geographical areas surrounding the business location to allow the user easy online access to targeted marketing lists. With the powerful addition of INSOURCESM data elements and access to more than 113 million households and 18M businesses, Business Market Analyzer identifies the prospects who look like a company’s best customers. These highly targeted prospects are most likely to respond to marketing offers and behave similarly to existing high-value customers.
Beneficial Bank selected Experian to help find new customers to reach with information about the bank’s new products and full-service offerings for their 72 bank branches.
“With so many locations, we needed someone who would help us identify prospects specific to each branch to maximize our outreach,” said Joanne Ryder, director of marketing for Beneficial Bank. “Experian’s Business Market Analyzer tool will help us reach customers and maximize our marketing campaign return on investment.”
Experian’s Business Market Analyzer is used to integrate a client’s existing customer data with Experian data assets to create a more holistic view of each customer record at the household level. From this intelligence, models can be created and used to score and rank prospect records in a client’s local market area for more efficient and effective targeting. Business Market Analyzer delivers this information to any number of system users via the Web.
“The integration of customer and prospect data to identify your best prospects adds a powerful new dimension to marketing allowing for a clear picture of your best prospects whether they are businesses or consumers,” said Denise Hopkins, vice president of marketing and product development. “Now each location can easily market specifically to the needs of their best, local market customers with a single tool.”
