OVERVIEW

Execution

Research identified that, along with interest rates, what they valued most from a bank was a good relationship. So we focused on getting that relationship started, using the insight that for farmers, the kitchen table became their boardroom table when it came to talking business. But to really make them listen, for a limited time, ASB gave their Rural Managers permission to cut special deals with each farmer. So when they sat down to for a 'social cuppa and a serious chat' the farmers were able to get the deal they wanted.

Outcome

Despite having previously shown no or little interest in the advances of ASB Bank, an astonishing 80% now invited a rural manager into their home for a cup and a chat. Of those, almost 20% went on to switch to ASB resulting in well over $150 million in new lending.
