360 View's own David Acevedo joins Shelly Loftin at the American Bankers Association Bank Marketing Conference to discuss the importance of data-driven marketing and how it's changed in light of the pandemic. Financial institutions have always had a lot of data in their core system or MCIF, but the past year and a half has created the need for data to be more accessible and useable. Listen to this 10-minute interview about how using 360 View CRM to access your data can lead to smarter marketing and improve your growth and retention.

CRM: It’s no longer about IF you should, it’s about WHEN you will!

If budgeting for CRM is not in your current plan, it needs to be! The changes wrought by COVID-19 have made CRM the system that ensures “sales are pursued, customers are served, and employees are productive, even when they’re out of the office,” noted Glen Marks at Forbes. With that in mind, here are four tips for budgeting for CRM as you enter this year’s budgeting process.

As a team of former bankers, 360 View understands that adding a CRM to your technology stack is a significant investment. You’ve probably got a lot of questions on your mind as you consider all of the options available to you.

Over the years, we’ve gotten a lot of these same questions from customers and other  banking professionals we’ve spoken with at conferences, on webinars, and during product demos. So, we decided to compile a list of the most common CRM questions we receive and answer them right here.

Check out the top six questions we are asked about CRM software for community banks and credit unions.

If you’re part of a community bank or credit union, you know your competitors are increasing by the day. From large, national financial institutions to tech giants like Google and Amazon to digital-only banks, everyone is fighting for your customers.

One thing all of these opponents have in common is tremendous access to robust technology, something that is lacking in smaller scale banking. According to the 2019 Digital Banking Report, 30% of banks stated that access to technology/tools was the top obstacle preventing them from advancing their digital transformation journey.

Now is the time for community banks and credit unions to step up their tech capabilities so they can not only remain viable options for customers, but come out on top in the digital banking battle. No matter the size of your institution, you’ve got to make the most of your technology investment.

We’ve already talked about how your CRM can serve as the foundation of a data-driven marketing strategy  for your bank or credit union. But, you can get even more value out of CRM data when you apply analytics to your strategy.

This is especially pertinent when it comes to identifying and maximizing wealth management opportunities for your customers. As millennials become the largest generation, their wealth is also increasing. In fact, a Deloitte report found that “Until 2020, the aggregated net worth of global millennials is predicted to more than double compared to 2015.”

The way banks and credit unions market to this growing customer segment will need to account for continued wealth accumulation. Here are three ways you can apply wealth data to campaigns and use analytics to grow your bank’s reach and revenue.
