The Challenge
This financial firm wanted to drive attendance to an educational seminar focused on Social Security, retirement income, and investment planning. They had used seminar marketing before, but needed better RSVP tracking and lead-to-client conversion support.
The Strategy
They mailed 5,300 postcards promoting a Free Educational Financial Dinner Event with a focus on Social Security FAQs and maximizing retirement benefits. The offer included dinner, expert advice, and time-sensitive registration. OMNI reach SMB launched Google and Facebook ads that mirrored the card’s visual and content to retarget respondents and track responses from all channels.
The Results
The campaign generated 38 total RSVP responses — 26 tracked calls and 12 web form submissions. The seminar saw 32 attendees, resulting in 9 booked follow-up consults and $2.14M in new AUM (assets under management). Digital ads produced 15,800 impressions and 224 clicks.
