Superior Competitive Advantage

• Strategies that position a bank

• So that it can achieve superior, long-term, profitability

• In spite of:– industry and environmental changes,

– competitor actions,

– and…market/customer shifts

Question:

Why should I do business with your bank rather than one of your

competitors?

• What differentiates your bank? • What value does your bank provide that others

don’t?• What advantages does your bank offer me, the

customer?

• HOW WILL YOUR BANK HELP ME ACHIEVE MY FINANCIAL GOALS?

Few banks either have or can articulate answers to these fundamental, core questions.

Web Site Analytics

Analysis of Website Traffic: Visits, Bounce, Time of Site, Number of Pages Visited, Conversion

Google Analytics Definitions

• Visits = Sessions: period of interaction between a visitor's browser and a

particular website, ending when the browser is closed or shut down, or when the user has been inactive on that site for a specified period of time.

• Visitor: A visitor is a construct designed to come as close as possible to defining the

number of actual, distinct people who visited a website. The most accurate visitor-tracking systems generally employ cookies to maintain tallies of distinct visitors.

• Bounce Rate: Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which

the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page.

• Pageview: A pageview is an instance of a page being loaded by a browser. Google Analytics logs a pageview each time the tracking code is executed.

• Unique Views: Google Analytics records a visitor as NEW when any page on your site has been accessed for the first time by a web browser.

http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=33049

GOOGLE ANALYTICS DEFINITIONS• Conversion: A conversion occurs when a visitor reaches a GOAL

which does NOT have to be an account opening or sale.

– A URL Destination goal is a page that visitors see once they have completed an activity. For an account sign-up, this might be the “Thank You for signing up” page. For a purchase, this might be the receipt page. A URL Destination goal triggers a conversion when a visitor views the specified page.

– A Time on Site goal is a time threshold that you define.

– A Pages per Visit goal allows you to define a pages viewed threshold.

General GAP Level Guidelines:

GAPS: 0-1.25 Probably not a significant competitive problem 1.25-1.75 Unclear…may or may not be a significant

problem…interpret as you would a financial analysis ratio. For example, if you had a potential borrower with a low current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities), this might or might not be a problem for the company….you would look for the specific reasons. The same thought process applies to the GAP analysis. From 1.25 to 1.75, these might or might not be a problem. Analyze the GAP and then assess whether or not that particular GAP level inhibits your bank or area’s ability to retain or acquire customers from the chosen target market.

1.75 or Higher: Probably a competitive disadvantage. If you don’t

consider it a significant problem, comment as to why not.

Appendix ABank Competitive GAP

Analysis

General GAP Level Guidelines:

GAPS:

0-1.25 Probably not a significant competitive problem

1.25-1.75 Unclear…may or may not be a significant problem…interpret as you

would a financial analysis ratio. For example, if you had a potential

borrower with a low current ratio (current assets divided by current

liabilities), this might or might not be a problem for the company….you

would look for the specific reasons. The same thought process applies to

the GAP analysis. From 1.25 to 1.75, these might or might not be a

problem. Analyze the GAP and then assess whether or not that

particular GAP level inhibits your bank or area’s ability to retain or

acquire customers from the chosen target market.

1.75 Probably a significant competitive positioning problem. If you don’t

or Higher consider it a significant problem, explain your reasoning.
