Annotations are a GREAT way to describe events. For example, below are two images showing a credit union’s 90-Day performance trend for New Car Loan Balances.
The information below came out of the Analytics Booth Website (www.analyticsbooth.com). As you can see in the first image from the tool tip shown within the graph, the balance dropped by $25,827 over a 43 day period. In other words, basically performance was flat on a 9.3 million dollar balance. However, over the next six weeks weeks a completely different story emerges when looking at the second graph. This was a deliberate effort by the credit union to gain lift in this area of their loan portfolio. They used a marketing campaign to achieve a $1.3M (14%) increase in New Car loan balances as of Nov 11, 2017.
This would be a great opportunity to describe the details of the campaign using the “Annotation” feature of Analytics Booth. What was the credit unions expectation over this period of time? How did they go about getting the new business? Rate reductions?, How did they reach their target audience (emails?, phone calls?, billboards?, radio ads?). I’m sure the key players involved with the campaign can answer all those questions as it is fresh in their minds. Suppose this trend was from 2015, would those questions be as easy to answer? Maybe some of the employees involved with the campaign are no longer with the credit union. For these reasons, the “Annotate” feature provides a great way to describe activities within the credit union.
