We've represented many different types of companies. However, by our own standards, this was an unusual client.

Martin Knipe of Bank Complaints wanted us to get in touch with businesses to find out if they had been overcharged by their banks. Not only overcharged in fees, but in interest, mortgages, factoring, et cetera..

Martin has a unique advantage. He was a manager for a major UK bank for over 10 years, and he had seen the abuses and the overcharging that he claims is endemic in Britain.

Absolutely free of charge, if a potential customer sent across their last 6 months' bank statements to him, he would check it to see if there had been any funny business. If there was, he would consult with the customer for all their banking over the last 10 years!

As he predicted, he found massive overcharging. Meridian Delta's revolutionary marketing campaign send dozens of businesses his way every month. See the campaign description and the email itself below for more.

Objective Martin had been running a successful promotional goods business for a number of years before launching his real passion, Bank Complaints..

From a complete standing start, our charge was to find the way to get companies to call. Companies are often scared to stand up to their banks (especially when they are using their credit facilities), and our job was to help remove that fear.
Why did they choose us? Price - our email costs are probably the lowest in the UK for specialist business-to-business marketing. Why? We're interested in getting repeat business from you, not just the one-offs. Quality data from quality suppliers.

Spam Protection - all our emails are strictly business related and conform with the relevant 2003 EU and UK laws.

Design Services - Ashton Creative designs get results. Up to 3 times the result of customer-designed emails. The same is true for faxing, as they discovered. That's fact.
Whom were they targeting? Our data is never more than 9 months old - thanks to the specialist companies which supply us with data. We can get to just the companies you need. Click here to find out how.

If a bank has overcharged by a few thousand over the years, it's not worth Martin's time to chase it up. Therefore, he was looking for larger companies - those most likely to be the targets for the banks' flagrant overcharging. We put him in front of these customers.
What were the results? Both Martin and Meridian Delta were stunned by the sheer disillusionment of bank customers. We were both expecting a decent response, but what we got back for Martin surprised us both/

Martin, originally meaning to use us every month, was swamped by enquiries from the 100,000 businesses we emailed. He now uses us every 3 or 4 months so he can pay proper attention to the concerns of clients.

Meridian Delta actively courts business from new companies. We walk with you hand-in-hand, making sure you achieve the marketing targets you want within your tight starting budget. If you are new in business, try us first.

   
All figures given are based on customer correspondence with us. Email marketing is a form of advertising, and as with all advertising it can be successful as well as unsuccessful. We do not guarantee any level of response. On average, for every 1,000 email sent out, there are 1-2 opt outs, even fewer than fax broadcasting! When we receive an opt-out, we remove the number from all databases to ensure they are never emailed by us or the pool participants again.
