Trigger Marketing Best Practices

Make trigger-based marketing a year-round part of a coordinated marketing plan to win consumers as they make purchasing decisions related to key life events.

The High-Value Mover Audience

Over 1.75 million people move every month, spending $9000+, and making more than 70 brand decisions. Movers buy everything from large appliances and furniture to cleaning supplies and restaurant/grocery delivery. Be the first to connect with these consumers as they establish shopping patterns in their new communities during a high-spend, loyalty-starting buying period.

Newly Married Couples Combining Households

As 2.3 million new couples get married every year and combine households, they often make larger purchases that include big-ticket items like appliances, furniture, and home décor. These newlyweds are also looking for financial services such as new checking/savings accounts and insurance. This is also a key time for marketers to strengthen existing relationships by staying engaged with customers as they make these new life decisions.

Welcoming a New Baby

On average, new parents spend over $12,000 during the first year of a baby’s arrival. With approximately 4 million babies born every year, these new parents are a tremendous audience whose buying decisions change dramatically. Parents are doing research and purchasing clothing, toys, furniture, and other baby-related supplies. They are also considering additional life insurance, a new vehicle and other ancillary products or services in the months following the baby’s arrival. Continue reaching these parents as their child grows and needs change, continually requiring new purchases.

Celebrations

Build lasting emotional bonds with your customers by inviting them to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions with you. Strengthen loyalty with a strong offer to drive purchasing decisions.
