Rapid Solutions Group™ Clients Highlighted for Best Practices in Financial Services Sector

Corporate Insight’s Brokerage Account Opening Study identifies best practices in new client communications in the retail financial services sector

New York, November 1, 2005 — Corporate Insight, Inc., the leader in providing competitive intelligence, analysis and consulting services to the financial services industry, based in New York, NY, recently published a landmark study that analyzes the customer experience opening cash management accounts at 20 leading full-service and discount brokerage firms, banks and mutual fund companies. The research included best practices in new client communications. Corporate Insight identified several clients of Rapid Solutions Group, a leading digital communications company, for their effective and efficient approaches for communicating with prospects and new clients. Some of these firms included Harrisdirect and Ameritrade.

“Having a research firm such as Corporate Insight, Inc. reaffirm that the strategies we develop with our clients are among the best practices in the industry is important to us. Effective new account communications are essential for solidifying the relationship between the financial services company and client. The financial services companies who are our partners understand this, and together we develop solutions and strategies. Through effective utilization of print on demand technology and innovative designs we are able to offer products and services with proven results,” says Garet Hil, President and CEO for Rapid Solutions Group.

A presentation of the findings of the studies conducted by Corporate Insight, Inc. was given at the recently held Financial Communications Forum. This presentation highlighted the best practices in specific areas of prospect marketing and client communications, including prospect marketing/sales communications, account opening and new client communications. In each of these areas several communications materials developed in partnership with Rapid Solutions Group received high marks for their professional appearance, consistent look, effective messaging and innovation. In particular, new client welcome kits developed by Merrill Lynch and Ameritrade (a Rapid Solutions Group client) were recognized as among the best in the industry. The study also found that print on demand technology is being used more often, a trend that Rapid Solutions Group identified and has been utilizing for clients for several years.

In addition, recommendations offered by Corporate Insight based on the study, suggest companies adopt policies and standards to improve effectiveness of materials. Many of these recommendations were originally developed and implemented by Rapid Solutions Group. The company has been using innovative approaches to develop print communications for clients for more than ten years.
