Three Critical Elements to Make Content Sell
• The Content

What Type of Content is Needed?
• Your customer needs…
BroadBrandedEasy to navigateEasy to read and understand. No jargon!
![Page 15: How Digital Channels Can Drive Branch Sales](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/555ec6c3d8b42a74708b5373/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Takes More than Content
• Content that sits idle is not helping your customers and not helping your financial institution
• Its more than just passively offering financial literacy or general education
• Most people react to events as they occur
• They want just the answers they need at just the time they need them

• Relevant content is great- but it’s level of effectiveness depends on DELIVERY.
• Delivered around life events when people are looking for answers and more likely to buy.
• Delivered in a way that engages people and allows them to uncover hidden needs.
• Delivered in a way that connects them with the person who can help with those needs.
Delivery Platform is Key
