Discussion 2 | marketing | centennial college

This week’s discussion is a little different from what we’ve done so far.

This week, you will analyze a scenario and some related information to come up with solutions to a problem. There are no correct answers here; however, some answers may be better than others. I encourage you to be creative in your ideas and feel free to do research beyond the class materials.

Case Analysis 1 – Strategies for Customer Development

Customer development is the process of growing the value of retained customers. Companies generally attempt to cross-sell and up-sell products into their customer base while still having regard for the satisfaction of the customer.
Cross-selling, which aims to grow share-of-wallet, can be defined as selling additional products and/or services to an existing customer.
Up-selling can be defined as selling higher-priced or higher-margin products and/or services to an existing customer.

The Scenario

You’re the new Chief Revenue Officer for a mid-sized bank and you’re tasked with developing strategies for growing the share-of-wallet of your existing customers. Revenues from your customer base have remained flat for the past 3 years and you’ve been hired to find ways to reverse this trend.

  • 60% Boomers
  • 30% Gen X
  • 10% Millenials/Gen Z
