Small Business Signal (third-party competitor) Email Kit
Establish differentiators and convey your value proposition
With $370 billion at stake, a myriad of third-party app providers have targeted the small business market. For the most part, they’ve found success by offering digital-first solutions designed to help small business owners overcome ongoing pain points. But the war is far from over. As a true financial institution, you have several advantages.
The Small Business Signal emails found here are designed to create awareness and drive a simple point home: that Autobooks, offered by your financial institution, is a superior option to third-party apps.
Each email spotlights the standout features that differentiate Autobooks from competitors. However, we believe that the ultimate differentiator is your institution. With our Signal Emails, it’s time to tell your customers what you have to offer!

Relying on third-party payment acceptance apps, but can't make sense of all of those fees? If so, you need Autobooks.
Message body:
Hi [Name of Recipient],
It’s true. Payment acceptance apps like PayPal, Square, and Venmo are convenient. Plus, they help you get paid. But as you’ve probably realized, their fees can get confusing. Of course, transaction fees are just the beginning — additional actions often incur additional costs. And they can add up fast!
If you’re fed up with the high cost of doing business with third-party apps, we have good news. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Are you tired of dealing with third-party app balances? Autobooks helps you get paid, right into your business checking.
Message body:
Hi [Name of Recipient],
At this point, you’ve probably tried a payment acceptance app like PayPal, Square, and Venmo. You probably even liked their convenience. But what’s not so convenient, as you probably discovered, is the ability to easily access your funds.
One thing all of these apps have in common: they want to hold on to your money for as long as possible. This means you have to deal with virtual wallets and other external balances. Over time, you might even forget about those hard-earned funds!
If you’re fed up with having to wait (or pay) for transfers, we have good news. There’s a better way.

Email 3
In this email, we focus on the ability to receive personalized customer service via a branch or through an Autobooks specialist, as opposed to the predominant self-service model offered by most third-party apps.
Subject line:
Accept payments. Send invoices. And receive great customer support.

Relying on third-party payment acceptance apps? Tired of the poor customer support? If so, you need Autobooks.
Message body:
Hi [Name of Recipient],
Have you ever had to use a third-party app like PayPal, Square, or Venmo? If so, chances are you’ve also had to rely on their customer service. And as you probably learned, getting help from a human usually involved a number of steps: tracking down a phone number or a help link ... speeding through various self-service steps ... waiting for real assistance ... and so on.
If your idea of customer service involves speaking to real people who are eager to help — whether it’s over the phone or at one of our branch locations — we have good news.
