Marketing Success in the Digital Age - Lessons learned from the banking sector’s response to the pandemic June 30, 2022 | 56 min | Webinar 21 Marketing Success in the Digital Age Watch Preview $ Buy from $8 Watch Preview $ Buy from $8 Share Whole Channel This Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Embed Video Link Copied Share Channel Info Subscribe $ Sign in Close Financial institutions, large and small, were a lifeline for both retail and commercial customers during the pandemic. As COVID cases surged, bankers had to find new ways to provide branch services, help customers adjust to being served electronically, improve access to online/mobile banking, and implement SBA-backed Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Customer service was managed by employees working from home and marketing messages were quickly retooled to reflect the complexity of the public health and economic crisis. What was learned by banks has relevance for any industry that hopes to succeed in a post-pandemic digital age. Did using chatbots help? Why are FinTechs growing in types and usage by banks? What shifts in consumer behavior will remain as the pandemic recedes? How do marketers apply lessons learned from banks?

  • What's the Future of the Postal Service and Where Do I Fit In?

What do all the headlines from Washington mean for direct to consumer and direct to business marketers? ACMA President &  Executive Director Hamilton Davison will lay out how you might relate to these changes for your own business. What's the Future of the Postal Service and Where Do I Fit In?

Watch Preview $ Buy from $8 Watch Preview $ Buy from $8 Share Whole Channel This Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Embed Video Link Copied Share Channel Info Subscribe $ Sign in Close As you have read in the news, it's been never a dull moment for the Postal Service over the past year. During the lockdown, mail volumes plunged, package deliveries skyrocketed, and election ballots...well, who knows? With a new postmaster general in place, Trump backer Louis DeJoy proceeded to carve out an unpopular 10-year plan for the Postal Service with no input from the mailing community. Then given the opportunity by its regulator, the USPS announced a significant postal rate increase to take effect just prior to this fall's peak mailing season. The ACMA's Hamilton Davison and The Vogel Group's Alex Vogel will provide the many "behind the scenes" backgrounds that have led us to where we are now, what the options and alternatives are, and insights into what kind of future we may have in the mail. Presentation Complete Mailing Lists LLC CML offers hundreds of specialty Business and Consumer mailing lists that fulfill your most challenging postal, email, and telemarketing needs. Our unique, multi-sourced databases of occupations and professions are enhanced with more than 400 demographics and lifestyle selects, allowing for endless targeted marketing possibilities.

Sponsor Speakers Hamilton Davison Speaker Hamilton Davison is the President & Executive Director of the American Catalog Mailers Association (ACMA), a group he co-founded in 2007 when postage increased for catalog mailers. Since then, Davison’s actions with ACMA have led to far more moderate postage for catalogs. He works closely with the U.S. Postal Service and Postal Regulatory Commission to educate and inform officials about the catalog business model, incentives for greater mail volume, and the role of catalogs in shaping consumer perceptions of mail. Alex Vogel Speaker Consistently ranked as one of America's top lobbyists, Mr. Vogel started The Vogel Group after founding and leading Mehlman Vogel Castagnetti for a decade, one of the most successful lobbying and government affairs firms in Washington, D.C. He has spent decades at the highest levels of business, politics, and government.

In his role as one of the top staffers in the United States Senate, Mr. Vogel was instrumental in crafting many successful bipartisan legislative strategies and maintains close relationships with both leadership and rank and file Senators to this day. His expert commentary and analysis can be viewed weekly on networks such as Fox News and others and is widely regarded as one of DC’s leading voices in strategic advocacy.
