Welcome to the CSTMR Blog

Welcome to the CSTMR Blog

We’re seasoned marketing experts with deep experience and vast networks in fintech and financial services, so most of the marketing and growth strategies we’ll discuss are focused on the fintech sector, but the principles behind them can be applied to any industry. Anyone who wants to acquire and retain new customers, build their brand and grow revenues, from C-level executives to marketing and social media managers, will benefit from these insights.

We hope you’ll read on and join us regularly for insights and motivation.  Enjoy!

What you can expect

At CSTMR, we help fintech and financial service companies attract new customers, keep them and grow revenues. The goals are simple, but the strategies, tactics and techniques for achieving these goals are not. That’s why we’ll cover different parts of those tactics, techniques and strategies in each blog post.

We’re not like other blogs that simply regurgitate other sites content and provide little context and real world perspective. We know you’re in the trenches and don’t have time to evaluate 20 different blogs to learn the best ways to accelerate your customer acquisition or retention strategies. On the CSTMR blog, we’ve got this covered. You can expect to read about the areas of marketing, product, design/UX and sales that really matter like:

  • Strategies and techniques to acquire new customers, faster
  • Product, Design and UX to improve engagement and optimize conversions
  • Getting the most from paid media (search, display, social, content and yes, direct mail and DRTV)
  • Ongoing customer engagement & retention
  • Marketing automation and what really works
  • Revenue growth through partner and channel development
    And much more
