Today’s financial services customers don’t begin their journey in a branch or an application flow. They start online, researching brands, comparing products, evaluating fit, and forming preferences long before they submit an application or speak with a banker.

This early stage is where intent is formed, yet it is also where most financial institutions lack visibility and effective engagement.

This white paper examines the "First Mile" of the customer journey, the awareness and consideration stages where decisions take shape. It outlines why traditional approaches fall short and what institutions must do to identify intent earlier and engage more effectively.

Key takeaways from this white paper include:

• How customers behave in the "First Mile" and why awareness and consideration are now predominantly digital

• Why traditional engagement models fall short at the earliest stages of the journey

• What it takes to improve effectiveness before acquisition, including detecting early intent and activating smarter engagement
