Stonebridge’s Revolution system sees "surge" in activity

Revolution Touchpoint launched in April and allows users to generate their own marketing material to send out to new and existing clients, using pre-approved marketing templates.

Since launch, Revolution has approved a growing number of financial promotions from Touchpoint users covering a variety of topics. The most popular promotions have covered the following products and services: Standard mortgages (30%); Help to Buy (20%); Remortgage (18%); Buy-to-let and General Insurance (both 12%); and Protection (10%).

Three-quarters of the promotions generated so far have been for printing material while a quarter were for email distribution. The range of material developed has included office posters, leaflets, posters for estate agent introducers, new-build launch leaflets, client e-shots, website downloads, and specific promotions for use on social media.

Julie Murray, Technology Director of Revolution, commented:

“We have been very pleased with the user take-up of Revolution Touchpoint since launch and it is particularly gratifying to see advisory firms using this marketing toolkit in order to generate distinctive and business-specific promotions. The areas covered in the promotions are wide and varied, and users are utilising the system in order to educate, inform and market their services in order to generate Help to Buy, buy-to-let and remortgage business, as well as develop leads for GI and protection. User feedback has focused on the ease of use and our ability to approve promotions in a very short space of time because of the way the system has been designed. We would urge existing and interested advisers to make use of Revolution Touchpoint as it has the ability to help them generate high-quality promotions which should ultimately drive an increasing amount of business to them.”

Michelle Lawson, Mortgage Adviser & Director of Lawson Financial Ltd, added:

“I recently received short notice of a launch event from a new build introducer and was able to produce bespoke marketing material within 48 hours to use at the event which would have been impossible in the past. A fantastic system all round.”
