A core objective of the CHART Exchange is to serve as the catalyst for
new business growth within the U.S./London marketplace. One of
the ways this goal will be accomplished is through an initiative called CHART Markets. This web-based facility will operate as a virtual
shopping mall, offering access to the products and services available
from our members. This includes:
• Coverholders seeking promotion of their programs
• Preferred Vendor Partners who offer products and services to CHART members
• Risk Takers looking to raise awareness about the availability of new products in collaboration with Coverholders).
Member participation in the CHART Mart website community is
voluntary; an annual fee will be assessed to cover the costs of establishing
and maintaining the site. Key features:
1 Customizable storefront. Each participant will have their own
unique web-page. These sites will provide contact information,
product/service highlights, and links to the member’s own website.
Development of these unique pages will be done collaboratively
between the member and CHART personnel.
2 Marketing to the U.S. Retail Agent Community. A series of promotional
initiatives will be conducted to drive traffic to the CHART
Mart site. Various marketing techniques will be utilized, including
media advertisements, broadcast e-mail, business-to-business telemarketing,
and direct mail. These communications will be used to tout
CHART Mart as an efficient means of accessing Lloyds products.
3 Sophisticated Search Engine. Agents seeking specific products
or services will be directed to a unique search engine. After entering
in a keyword (“Cyber”, “Marine” etc.), they will be provided
with a list of members offering the requested coverage. Users will
then be given the option to click on a link directing them to the
appropriate web-page.
Contact information (e-mail addresses) of every agent utilizing the
CHART Mart search engine will be captured. The e-mails of
those producers who visit a particular web-page will be forwarded
to the appropriate member organization for their follow-up.
4 Member-Specific Marketing. CHART personnel will also assist
in the development and implementation of advertising campaigns
specific to individual members. Traffic will be driven directly to
the member’s web-page. E-mail lists and activity monitoring
reports/analytics (open rates, click-throughs, etc.) will be provided
as well.
5 CHART Brokerage. We expect that some of the product or service
requests received from the retail agent community will not fit the
risk appetites of any member organizations. These outlier submissions
will be directed to the CHART Brokerage unit for follow-up.
To the extent possible, any placements made will be done using
London markets.
