One of the world’s premier hotel companies, offers today’s travelers more than 730 hotels and resorts (more than 140,000 rooms) in more than 45 countries. The company’s affiliates own, operate, manage and franchise Hyattbranded hotels and resorts under Park Hyatt™, Grand Hyatt™, Hyatt Regency™, Hyatt Resorts™, Hyatt®, Hyatt Place™ and Hyatt Summerfield Suites® brands, as well as the company’s newest global luxury brand, Andaz™, which recently opened its first property in London.

CHALLENGE
To increase the relevancy and timeliness of their marketing programs, Hyatt’s corporate marketing team wanted to empower local properties to do more direct marketing with centralized oversight to ensure messaging and brand consistency. They needed a fullservice provider that would allow them to create marketing programs to quickly and effectively fill individual property rooms.

SOLUTION
ClickSquared created a web site where Hyatt’s local properties can access pre-approved templates. All property managers have access to the site and can create marketing programs specific to their location and regional needs. With 24 / 7 access to the site, it allows them to:

  • Target their own restricted audiences
  • Leverage Templates
  • Use existing content and images
  • Schedule when the message gets sent
  • Dynamically render and proof the message
  • Request execution campaign approval


Hyatt Corporate gives approval in one simple easy step which ultimately increases the timeliness of the campaign

RESULTS

case study: Sovereign Sovereign Bank logo

Sovereign is the 19th largest banking institution in the United States with principal markets in the Northeast United States, Sovereign Bank has 750 community banking offices, over 2,300 ATMs and approximately 12,000 team members.

CHALLENGE
Sovereign was looking for an email marketing solution that would enable it to communicate effectively with new online customers and increase enrollment rates for its online BillPay. BillPay provides customers with the convenience of paying bills online through a customer’s bank account direct to the vendor. Many of Sovereign’s customers were participating in online banking activities such as reviewing balances, making transfers, etc. but it needed a way to transition them from casual online banking users to more active customers using BillPay. While Sovereign received data feeds of its customers who signed-up for online banking regularly, its existing manual process of targeting and communicating an appropriate message was time consuming, resulting in missed opportunities to capture customers at the right time.

SOLUTION
ClickSquared worked with Sovereign and CheckFree (Sovereign’s BillPay application provider) to:

  • Develop a highly-automated email communications program that triggered specific marketing messages based on a customer’s actions (or inactions) over a period of time.
  • Create a choreographed stream of communications to ensure customers who hadn’t activated BillPay were gently reminded of the benefits most relevant to them
  • Customize four different customer communications. emails triggered by specific actions or in actions of each BillPay consumer enabling them to speak directly to each consumer based on their specific needs.


RESULTS

  • BillPay activation rates grew by 7%
  • Per customer transaction rates increased
  • BillPay transactions increased by number of payments and dollar amounts per subscriber
