What does Campbell Rigg consider when preparing proposals?
Consideration is given to the design and layout of the existing property estate. A bank needs to work with what it has. The proposals should give the option to improve the branch network within a phased approach, thereby minimising initial cost outlay. All recommendations need to be based upon sound insight into customer shopping behaviour.
What can you expect to see within the proposal?
Consumer insight on how customers shop for financial services.
What your competitors are doing that works / doesn’t work. What works well within your existing branch network. What quick fixes we could make.
What long-term changes does the management of the bank need to make?
