We believe providing bite sized digital content around
personal investing, both seasonal and evergreen, will
help visiting customers feel confident in our expertise
and make best use of their time when they are waiting
for the advisor.
We know we succeeded when we see
- More than 15% of the waiting customers sharing
and/or sending content to themselves/others
- 20% of waiting customers speak about that content
to the advisor
We believe providing time sensitive news and content
alerts through social media (Snap) to our younger
subscribers will help them feel more informed
We know we succeeded when we see
- 25% Increase social media checki-ins from new
emerging millennial readers
We believe that simplifying “Adding Funds” through mobile
for existing customers will improve recurring investments
into their current portfolio at the current risk profile
We know we succeeded when we see
- More funds being added through mobile within the first 4
weeks of the launch (compared to current numbers)
We believe <building this capability>
for <customer group or segment or target audience>
will achieve <the intended outcome>
we will know we have succeeded when we see
