Blog: Personalized Marketing, Now Available at the ATM 

I watched a documentary recently directed by Dave Grohl. Yup, the Foo Fighters guy. The movie was about how much technology has changed the music industry – big, old-fashioned sound boards have been replaced with ProTools. One musician recalled the first time he saw a computer being wheeled into the sound room, and how perplexed he was at the idea of using a computer to digitally edit music.

The scene reminded me both of how far the ATM industry has come – and how far we still have to go when it comes to using the self-service channel as a marketing tool. Often when we meet with banks, “marketing” and “ATM” are not really words used in conversation together. Bank marketers are using HTML5 to create campaigns, and focusing the majority of their efforts on digital ads, emails, and print marketing. The ATM is relegated to the back burner, without any fancy “ProTools for ATMs” software.

What they don’t realize is that there actually IS a tool they can use to broaden their campaigns to the ATM, drive hyper-targeted, personalized messages through the self-service channel, and even use to extend those ATM marketing campaigns back out to other channels, from the call center to mobile and even two-way video.

There’s another thing they often don’t realize, either: The astounding ROI they could be getting on their ATM marketing campaigns if they do it right. Watch:
