Marketing Optimization

Create a more customer-centric communications strategy

The ability to understand customer behaviors and grow relationships by matching customers to the right products and services is critical. Still, many banks struggle with implementing a successful communications strategy because they lack a complete, meaningful view of customers and households. What's more, existing systems seldom enable the multidimensional analysis necessary for understanding the complexity of individual customers and households.

" It is extremely important for us to partner with a trusted vendor, such as SAS, to turn raw data into an intelligent tool for reducing credit risk and increasing revenue by selling new products to existing and potential customers."

How SAS® Can Help 


Introduction to Optimization in Financial Services

Successful banks will be those that strive to improve their communications strategy by becoming more customer-centric and growing relationships with their best customers and households. SAS' approach gives you one cohesive view of your customers, the ability to identify the most valuable households and the tools to improve that value. With SAS, you can:

  • Ensure data quality by cleansing, enriching, augmenting and summarizing data following reusable data quality business rules, all while maintaining an accurate audit trail.
  • Get the data ready by accessing it from any location and transforming it into whatever format is required for analysis and individual user needs (e.g., for pulling lists, building models or viewing results).
  • Predict customer behavior – and your next best offer – by analyzing the data using segmentation, retention and cross-sell/up-sell analysis to identify.
  • Enable your analysts to spend less time administrating data or building models from scratch and more time discovering insights with prebuilt analytics designed specifically for banks – including models for cross-selling, retention and segmentation.
  • Execute the right campaigns with ease and timeliness, using insights gained about customers and households to ensure the highest return on your assets and marketing investments.
