  12. Marketing best practices: Five essentials for a successful turbotax campaign 1. Get Your Marketing Messages Out Early. 30% of taxpayers file by mid-February. Promote TurboTax in your December and January emails, newsletters and statement inserts. Increase your marketing and Web impressions by January 15th. 2. Be Seen. Be Heard. Place banners and messaging on high traffic areas of your Website by the end of December: Home Page, Online Banking, Bill Pay and Account Summary pages. Place the banners “above the fold” and remove unnecessary jump pages and extra clicks. 3. Be There When Your Members are Looking for Tax Help. Your Members are looking for an easy, fast tax solution. So be sure to display your tax prep offer where they are looking for it – prominent placement in your Tax Center, Finance or Money pages and Search Function. 4. Don’t Play Hide and Seek. Your Members don’t want to work hard. Make it easy for them to find your tax prep offer. Make logos clickable and get Members to your TurboTax site as quickly as possible so they can get started. 5. Reach Members in a Variety of Ways. The more cues you provide your Members, the better. Don’t just rely on your Website placements. Utilize both online and offline efforts to drive your Members to your offers with statement inserts, emails, newsletter articles and posters.
