This blog will explore how Marketing Cloud can propel wealth management firms towards greater success in targeted client acquisition.

Redefining Targeted Client Acquisition in Wealth Management through Marketing Cloud

Acquiring high-value clients in wealth management can be challenging. It requires you to establish trust, meet rising expectations, and compete with other industry players. However, with the robust features of Marketing Cloud, wealth managers can surmount these challenges and gain invaluable insights into client acquisition.

Let’s explore how Marketing Cloud can empower wealth managers to achieve their goals.

Elevate Your Client Acquisition Game with Data Cloud in Marketing

The Data Cloud for Marketing helps wealth management firms acquire and retain clients by centralizing and using data for personalized engagement strategies. The Data Cloud is more than just a data unifier; it drives organizational alignment around clients and gives firms a competitive edge.

• Unified Customer View data mapping capabilities in Data Cloud streamline the standardization of incoming data to create a comprehensive client view. By consolidating sources such as investment history, risk profiles, and financial goals, advisors gain insights into client needs that enhance client acquisition. To fully leverage this client data foundation, wealth management firms often utilize Salesforce Financial Services Cloud as their industry-specific CRM base.
• User-friendly segmentation tools empower wealth managers to create targeted audiences based on specific criteria, such as investment preferences or risk tolerance.
• The 2024 wealth management trends suggest that wealth management firms adopting personalization strategies are positioned to grow their client base. When advisors use data-driven customer journeys, they have the opportunity to craft customized automated onboarding, which caters to individual client requirements. This approach fosters trust and loyalty, ultimately boosting acquisition efforts.
• The Operational Customer Profile enables wealth managers to view a client’s financial portfolio and investment preferences in real time. This allows for personalized recommendations and tailored services based on the latest data.
• The real-time data access provides instant access to a prospective high-net-worth client’s investment background and preferences, which enables wealth managers to provide tailored advice quickly.
• AI-powered recommendations analyze client profiles and market trends, allowing wealth managers to offer customized investment opportunities aligned with client goals.

Connected Customer Experiences with Marketing Cloud Engagement

• Personalized Outreach and Content: Email Marketing and Content Builder features within the Marketing Cloud Engagement help optimize email campaigns by tailoring content to audience preferences, nurturing leads, and attracting new clients. You can offer personalized content creation, segmentation, and A/B testing to enhance deliverability, engagement, and conversions. With Content Builder, you can effortlessly generate data-driven email subject lines and body copy, create new emails instantly, and maintain unique customization for each instance.
• Dynamic Omnichannel Engagement: By utilizing Journey Builder, the journey orchestration solution, wealth management firms can:
  • Personalize messages for potential clients at each acquisition stage, including sending welcome emails, investment education, and tailored promotions.
  • Engage prospects across email, social media, and SMS channels.
  • Automate the marketing campaigns based on client behavior. For instance, if a prospect visits the pricing page but doesn’t sign up, an automated follow-up email can be triggered to encourage them to complete the registration process.
  • Set up drip campaigns and lead nurturing to guide prospects through the acquisition funnel with relevant content and incentives to boost conversions.

Improve Customer Interactions with Marketing Cloud’s Personalization

Imagine a wealth management firm using Marketing Cloud’s Personalization tool to build a customized client portal. When clients log in, they see a dashboard featuring their financial goals, investment performance, and tailored suggestions based on their risk profile. With Marketing Cloud Personalization, the wealth management firm can:

• Craft unique experiences using ML and AI, customizing webpages, in-app experiences, product recommendations, and more.
• Make AI-driven decisions to engage customers. Leverage real-time behavior data, historical customer insights, and business-specific data such as pricing and inventory.
• Automate AI-generated offers on the website and app with Einstein Decisions. In this scenario, as clients interact with the firm’s website or personalized emails, Einstein Decisions’ contextual bandit algorithm analyzes real-time and past data alongside business rules to present relevant offers at each customer touchpoint.

Seizing New Client Opportunities with Advertising Studio

Salesforce Advertising Studio integrates advertising campaigns directly into Salesforce’s CRM, which enables wealth management firms to leverage customer data for more effective client acquisition strategies. By using Advertising Studio to analyze CRM data, firms can identify and attract new prospects with purchasing behaviors similar to those of their existing high-value clients. Cross-channel advertising initiatives amplify customer data collection, providing comprehensive insights into prospect behavior and preferences.

Engage and Convert with Marketing Cloud Accounts

• The Engagement History Insights feature offers valuable data on client interactions, enabling advisors to customize their approach based on individual preferences and behavior.
• Real-time Sales Alerts notify advisors of key client activities, enabling timely and personalized follow-ups.
