<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTypes of Electronic Notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Effective handling of critical communications provides customers with successful delivery of time-sensitive notifications and lowers call center inquiries \u2013 in addition to providing an avenue to market and promote products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following types of electronic notifications may be easily customized to include variable data, targeted graphics or trackable links to an ePresentment or payment site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Transactional notifications<\/strong> \u2013 The emphasis here is on the \u201c-actional\u201d part because these email notifications are triggered by an activity or action. For example, a notification is sent when a bank or credit card statement is ready to view or when a check or automatic payment has cleared. Because transactional emails increase customer \u201cstickiness,\u201d including important informational or marketing messages<\/a> within them strengthens your acquisition, loyalty and retention strategies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Billing notifications<\/strong> \u2013 You might call this type of email notification the \u201ccash flow catalyst,\u201d because it not only reminds customers when payments are due, it also provides a convenient link to your online payment platform. This helps to facilitate timely payments and accelerate the remittance cycle, affecting customer satisfaction and your own bottom line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Marketing emails<\/strong> \u2013 Facilitate your upsell, cross-media<\/a> and relationship-building marketing strategy by sending targeted communications that highlight specialized offers and promotions. You can also selectively populate the email whitespace of a transactional or billing notification with personalized URLs and highly targeted messages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
eNotification Best Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Comprehensive security and compliance measures are a vital part of email and text notifications, ensuring that all communications efforts meet industry standards and are delivered on time and according to best practices. Here are the benefits of coordinated outreach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Predictable Delivery Schedule<\/strong> \u2013 Reliable and timely delivery of critical notifications ensure that customers receive important communications when they\u2019re expected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Compliant Outreach<\/strong> \u2013 Notifications are only sent to customers who have opted into receiving communications. Email deliverability issues, such as spam filtering and blacklisting, are effectively addressed to limit risk of non-compliance, while software management tools automatically determine text delivery, consent and adherence to TCPA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Secure Notification<\/strong> \u2013 Email notification efforts meet ISP quality and overall reputation standards, ensuring compliant and effective outreach. Text messages follow protocols to meet ever-changing regulations and security compliance, with SMS efforts ensuring you send only to customers who provided consent and use confirmed devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In-Depth Tracking & Reporting<\/strong> \u2013 Real-time analytics allow you to drill down and preview activity from a single email address or phone number \u2013 providing valuable insight into your notification strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Document Delivery Preferences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Keep customers informed according to their preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers who enroll in electronic delivery can adjust the way they are notified about the status of their transactional and billing documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have complete control – selecting or changing their delivery and notification settings. Managing their choices enables them to readily make adjustments on their own, creating a custom user experience that increases satisfaction and overall usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email and Text Personalization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you work with an outsource provider, email and text alerts are created using fully customizable templates that are designed to meet specific needs and requirements. Your design team works directly with you to develop an effective and consistently designed template, including an email design that\u2019s in line with company branding or text that meets compliance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n

Additionally, text alerts can utilize targeted variable data for more specific outreach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
