About Principality
The challenge
Why did our clients come to us?
Whilst Principality are the largest building society in Wales and favoured amongst older generations, this pool is, unfortunately, shrinking due to its ageing population. In addition to this, Principality had been operating predominantly offline and didn’t have the resources set up to track their products, customers and media spend.
What were their pain points?
- Lack of visibility & benchmarking
- No conversion tracking
- Operating mostly offline
- Lack of resources and help
- Throwing money out the window without understanding performance marketing
Our approach
We set up an automated daily crawl of Principality’s website to extract the product IDs, savings and mortgage rates. The data collected was entered into our bespoke database in order to allow a server-side look-up, which returned the profit-per-product.
In parallel, we set GTM to read the product data from the website and look up the profit-per-product, saving this information as a cookie. This then allowed us to send the transactional and profit data on the applications’ complete pages.
This is the moment when the financial site started reporting as an e-commerce website – thus born Fin-Com. We mapped pages on the website into the relevant e-commerce stage, predetermining how visitors would traverse from product pages, products in cart, through to the purchase page.
The results
Over the course of a year:
- Increased Principality’s sales conversion rate from 0.40% to 3% (650%)
- Took savings applications from 487 to 3914 (704%)
- Enhanced non-abandons by 309%

Worked with Phil and others on marketing tracking & analytics projects and always was surprised by out-of-the-box approach for solving issues where in-house or other agencies had given up. I highly recommend their services for any tracking and analytics task.
Albert Stanulis - Digital Marketing Manager, Newcross Healthcare
We hired MeasureMinds to consolidate our Google Analytics 360 account, fix our attribution issues and enable better goal & funnel tracking. They did a fantastic job and as a bonus, they managed to reduce our GA360 licence fee!
Tamara Caligari - Marketing and Product Manager, Tipico
Phil is clearly an expert in his field and his knowledge was obviously second-to-none. It was helpful to look at GTM with an expert. The Google data studio training greatly improved our business performance reporting.
Sofia Alvadia - Digital Marketing Manager, Bristol City Council
I hired MeasureMinds in December 2014 to audit Marie Curie's Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager implementations. They did everything in the brief and more in an incredibly quick time with very short notice. They also provided pro bono support after project closure. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MeasureMinds for GTM & GA implementations.
Neil Dickson - London SEO Consultant, Growth Hacker, Digital Marketer, Marie Curie
I wanted to thank you for all the work you did in setting ACRP up with GTM and Ecommerce tracking. Tracking has been amazing and I love seeing the data come through clean!
Marcela Leon - Manager, Digital & Web Content, Association of Clinical Research Professionals
Google Tag Manager gurus. I worked with them on a complex implementation project for over 10 months and continued to be impressed by their GTM & GA skills. They provide creative solutions and were not shy about making recommendations or improvements that they believed would add value. Their expertise in Analytics and Google Tag Manager definitely make them a great resource to work with.
