The "We Tried That" Problem

Real quotes:

"We tried Google Ads and they didn't work."

"We did SEO for a couple months and nothing happened."

"Direct mail was way too expensive for what we got out of it."

If you've heard, or said, any of these – this episode is for you!

We break down the real reasons bank marketing tactics fail, from our experience seeing these things play out at banks across the country. Spoiler: it's almost never the channel itself. Google Ads, SEO, and even direct mail DO work – but not if you only focus on the ad itself.

In this episode:

  • · Why banks often blame the channel
  • · The "underdosing" trap – what happens when you run a digital ad with too little budget
  • · How the platforms themselves are incentivized to get you to spend, not to strategize
  • · How to match tactics to your audience instead of just copying what bigger banks do
  • · A framework for evaluating the root cause of success or failure of a campaign
