Kasasa, an award-winning financial technology and marketing provider, verified the importance of leveraging digital marketing as essential to improving financial institutions’ customer experience and shortening the sales cycle.

Only then will consumers act as advocates for financial institutions sharing their experiences. In fact, 71 percent of consumers who report a positive experience with a brand on social media are likely to recommend it to their friends and family as well.

Kasasa works with community banks and credit unions to not only deliver compelling products to meet consumers’ needs, but also creates and implements marketing programs to strengthen and lengthen ties to customers. The company’s data-driven marketing is revolutionizing community banking by helping local financial institutions better compete with megabanks for market share.
