Have a look at what some of our success supporting Marketing Teams.
Online Purchasing Migration – BOC
The eCommerce Manager at BOC approached FMG to Call their customers and migrate them to their new online portal.
FMG agents called through the customer database and firstly updated records. They then promoted the new online portal and encouraged customers to use the portal for future purchases. Our agents created user accounts on their behalf, provided training and if needed assisted customers with their first purchase.
For BOC, the aim was to migrate their customers to online ordering rather than through their call centre. This provided substantial cost savings and supported their business strategies.
Due to the success of this customer engagement campaign, FMG also worked on a number of additional campaigns with BOC. Supporting their marketing team through client surveys of existing and lost customers.
In total FMG completed over 21,400 hours of calls for BOC, with almost 48,000 positive outcomes. These included migrating clients to the online portal, completing surveys and updating customer records.
Client Surveys & Mystery Shopping – Payment Platform
The Marketing Manager of a provider of flexible direct debit payment platforms, approached FMG requesting assistance on outbound telemarketing campaigns. These included client surveys as well as mystery shopping.
With a focus on the fitness industry, FMG constructed a strategy combining the client survey with appointment setting. Initially approached to conduct a survey, we explained that every phone call made also provides additional opportunities. We can update contact information, uncover sales opportunities or re-categorise opportunities depending on where they were at in the sales cycle.
Extending beyond this original strategy we completed 300 hours of calls. From these 510 outcomes were achieved. This includes surveys completed, contact details updated and appointments booked. FMG has further supported the marketing team by surveying competitors and their own customers, providing valuable insight for future marketing plans.
Data Cleansing & Cross-Selling – Industrial Manufacturer
FMG was approached by the Business Intelligence Manager of this manufacturer of industrial products wanting to update their database and make cross-selling calls to existing clients.
Focusing on clients within the manufacturing, food & beverage and mining industries the purpose of the campaign was to cleanse their database, gain opt-in for ongoing marketing communications and cross-sell new products to existing clients.
Over the campaign, we completed 930 hours of calls and achieved 1,200 outcomes including updated records, new email addresses captured and email communications sent. We were also able to set phone appointments for their sales team from the cross-selling promotion. Not only did we achieve the marketing departments objectives, but over-delivered by generating sales leads for the sales department.
