Today's poll on thisislondon.co.uk is 'Are Mortgage lenders fleecing clients?'
Erm thats not a leading question is it?

Too good to be true?

HSBC has made a major move in the mortgage market by offering to match the fixed rates for homeowners who's deals are coming to an end.
Sketchy details on the 'conditions' but bold nonetheless.

Open for business
Pete
As the Co-Op Bank withdraws its best two year fixed rate mortgages from the market today it seems that the best marketing message you can have at the moment is just being open for business.

$26bn in two years
Pete
So UBS have now written off $26bn since 2007 following their latest annoucement.
Losing millions doesn't seem as bad anymore does it?

What credit crunch?
Pete
Having attended a meeting in glamorous Canary Wharf on Wednesday it was a little surprising to see every bar full to the brim at 6pm.
So is it a case of drinking to forget?

Too long...
Pete
Looking at moneymarketing and Ifaonline recently I noticed that some advertisers are running banners that take close to 20 seconds before they get to their main selling point.
While its nice, visually, to see such flowing creative it does seem we are becoming quite self indulgent. Typically a visit is task driven and average dwell time on pages is never very long.
There's a role for lovely branding ads that entertain and then inform but on the whole the response ads need to be short and sweet.

Leaflet overkill
Pete
I appreciate NS&I writing to me and confirming they have uptodate details etc - shame my childhood premium bonds have failed to win me millions but such is life.
However the inclusion of 4 identical leaflets telling me I could save time by investing with them online seems a little heavy handed (or more likely clumsy).
Unless they are trying to tell me they are going to keep on killing tree's until I log on - environmental blackmail has arrived in financial services.

Digitising the Queen
Pete
Having a discussion this morning about a colleagues father who is due to turn 100 in September we wondered if the 'telegram from the Queen' needed updating.
We've therefore decided that the Queens messages now should be sent via email or text and for special occasions a video MMS.
We'll be working on what the Queens message would look like in text speak shortly.
