Vehicle Loan Digital Marketing Q4 Proposalby Adam R. BrownAug. 17th, 2017Slide2
SFFCU Business ModelSince 1954, San Francisco Federal Credit Union has been a member-owned financial institution. As a not-for-profit, we’re able to offer higher dividends on deposit accounts, lower interest rates on loans, and fewer fees than the big banks.Slide3
SFFCU Business ModelServes San Francisco and San Mateo CountiesNo outside investors to pay back as a financial cooperative
Member deposits leverage equity for loans
Interest income from loans builds revenue
Excess capital used to assist community non-profitsSlide4
Revenue StreamsMortgages and Home Equity LoansTaxi Medallion Loans
Vehicle Loans
Credit Cards
(Service fees to offset cost recovery purposes only)Slide5
Unique Value PropositionOn average, Millennials and Gen. X are not able to afford buying homes in the Bay Area, but need to buy cars to get around.
Millennials are the first generation growing up in a digital information era.
Print and television ads are becoming lost on this audience as they focus on internet channels.
Targeting this audience will help SFFCU create value of our trackable digital marketing channels and bring in more revenue from this source (Vehicle Loans).Slide6
Target Audience - Purchasing (National Average)

Target Audience - Customer Persona / Empathy Map
Meet Driving Dara, 31 year old SF Resident
Doesn’t like the current economic impact of big banks and recent bank scandals
Thinks that big banks are the only way to get financing for the car she needs
Sees rates offered from banks through dealer and manufacturer ads on TV and online
Averages 46 daily visits on Facebook
Hears that credit unions are easier than banks, but doesn’t understand what they are
Proudly works for a community non-profit advocating social change
Drives a lot for work and visiting friends and family on weekends
Recently purchased a car from a dealer that gave her
12.49% APY through Wells Fargo. Her rate was high due to a
low FICO score. The payments are too large for her budget.
She doesn’t like supporting Wells Fargo, but she needed the
car right away after her last one was totaled.
After seeing San Francisco Federal Credit Union’s Facebook
ad, she’ll find the option to apply for a refinance at a lower rate.
Example: Her approval is for 6.49% APY, saving her 6% over
the life of the loan and $52 a month on her payment. Plus she’ll
feel good about supporting the local economy.Slide8
Elevator PitchFor 21 - 49 year olds in SF and San Mateo counties that need car loans, San Francisco Federal Credit Union can help them save with lower rates than the banks. Plus, keeping loans in a community-based economy proves that We Are San Francisco (tagline).Slide9
Current State of Digital MarketingFinal stages of a company rebranding display campaign with an emotional tone celebrating diversity and San Francisco values.
Tagline:
We Are San Francisco Slide10
Current State of Digital MarketingConsulting firm partners are helping us move from Awareness to Consideration of our website via 4 tactics:
1)
Rich Media Display Ads and Banners (w/ Pixels) with high impressions and extremely low CTR (0.0004%) on Yahoo,
AOL
, and Reddit (Note: A/B Testing proved gay dads as best performing ad.) - missing our target audience on these channels
2)
Branding videos on these channels with 0.002% CTR
3)
Google SEM (Mobile 1st) - With a 16.73% CTR at $0.405 CPC, this is our highest value tactic currently. (Keywords list is very generic. It could be optimized with more long tail keywords).
4)
Partnership with KRON4: Website banners and TV news segments (34x to 800,000 households) - also missing our target audience
1,242 callbacks were made from a “Request Information” button w/ Pixel from these channels.

Current State of Digital Marketing
A small annual Facebook budget of $3,500 is being used for paid promotions throughout the year. These ads are for Awareness and Consideration purposes only. Most content is organic and unseen except for a branding video with high impressions (9.8k). It is not yet being optimized for Acquisition.
Email marketing has proven successful with monthly newsletters, triggered campaigns, and promotional information. 25,500 subscribers (acquired from account holders) have an Average Unique Open Rate of 25% with an Average CTR of 5%.Slide12
Current State of Digital Marketing
A quarterly email campaign is sent to a targeted group of subscribers based on income and positive credit ratings. Unique Clicks are sent to a PURL for conversion. This is a high-value, ongoing campaign for generating revenue. Some of the copy could be simplified and more attractive:Slide13
Marketing ObjectiveKPI: Completed Vehicle Loan Applications

Goal:

Measurement & OptimizationBenchmark KPI of 261 Completed Applications from Q2
All 3 tactic level KPIs add Completed Applications to the primary Marketing Objective (SEM + Facebook/Instagram + Email divided by 261)
Primary focus on ramping up the Facebook/IG campaign if conversion rate is successful for Q4. Willing to pull back on SEM/PPC budget to cover Facebook/IG spend as we are currently ahead of our peers (competitors).
ROI to be determined by spend from all 3 tactics vs. combined Completed Applications Value* (currently $83.13)
*Value = Q2 funded $ from online channels - $933k / 43 loans / 261 applicationsSlide32
BudgetingTotal requested Q4 budget: $3,375.00Margin: $1,675 on top of current $1,700 PPC budget
Projected 2% production increase from $933k = $951,660 ($18,660 increase)
$18,660 - $1,675 = $16,985 (>1,114% increase)Slide33
Unused TacticsA/B Testing for Facebook creative due to current campaign. Future campaigns should have more emotional/engaging creative.
A/B Testing for Facebook geo-locations to see how the San Mateo County audience performs in comparison to San Francisco. This should be looked at once Facebook advertising has been more established.
A/B Testing for the website (it’s being updated).Slide34
