Our purpose is to save households money.

Our strategy is designed to help households save more with us, by making saving with us as easy as possible and giving customers more ways to save across more products.

Over the last three years, we have developed our advanced data capabilities and our common scalable tech platform. Our data transformation is now complete. The real-time dataset we now have means we can better serve our users with new ways to help them save and combine this with our proprietary Dialogue platform to create a shared user profile to simplify and speed up user journeys.

We continue to “platformise” our tech estate – building features once and deploying them across all our brands. This delivers cost efficiencies, making our technology estate simpler to manage and reducing maintenance cost.

Our tech-led savings platform and member model

  1. SEM: search engine marketing.
  2. SEO: search engine optimisation.
  3. CRM: customer relationship management.

Our strategy

Our strategy is focused around growing our two-sided marketplace. On one side of the marketplace, we have the services we offer to our customers and on the other, the services we offer to our providers and third-party brands. In focusing on this two-sided marketplace, we rely less on paid traffic, and grow revenue per user by improving cross-purchasing, repeat purchasing and customer loyalty with our already trusted brands. Both strategies will ultimately help households across the country save more money with us.

Our leading marketing tools, centralised data and single tech platform mean we can now acquire traffic to our sites more effectively, talk to our users more effectively, and, because of this, have an opportunity to retain and grow these customers more effectively too. 

Best provider proposition

On the other side of our marketplace, we have the services we offer providers. We are expanding our ‘best provider proposition’ to grow the strength and breadth of our offering. Investment in our platform and in our data means we now have a more enhanced provider offering than ever before.

Our advertising (tenancy) offering, switching platform coupled with our data insights is compelling for our B2B partners brands who can utilise our single platform to provide switching services, extending our reach and market share. By moving everything onto one platform we can onboard providers more quickly, and across all our brands simultaneously, making it much more commercially attractive to them.

Leading data and tech

As a leading tech company, our single common platform powers our ability to help users save money. Over the last few years we have transformed our tech stack to one platform across our leading brands.

Data is critical to deepen our relationship with customers. Our consolidated data view across the broad range of products we offer enables us to improve the user experience.

Our aim is to become a one-stop-shop for digital businesses looking to offer comparison services. By using our platform to enable comparison journeys for other brands, we have the opportunity to become the technology platform of choice to power the entire industry.

Loyal engaged members

On the customer side, we are focused on developing and growing membership-based customer propositions to drive customer loyalty. We are using our reach of our existing brands to extend our marketplace, grow a loyal customer base whilst driving down our marketing investment.

The customer strategy is built on growing on our member-based offers; MoneySuperMarket SuperSaveClub, MoneySavingExpert App and Quidco. These member-based propositions are focused on growing customer loyalty, engagement, repeat purchasing and retention, as well as driving consumer traffic direct to our sites. In time, this should result in a reduced reliance on paid-for marketing.
