When it comes to planning the wedding, we often focus on glamour and less on finances—something that can often become stressful and exhausting. But it doesn’t have to be. Enter the promising partnership between The Wedding Collective and HSBC, where planning your wedding—and the prices behind your big dreams—felt a little less overwhelming, and a lot more exciting. We asked Jaswinder Sodhi, Head of Customer Propositions, Digital & Marketing at HSBC India, to share more:
What motivated HSBC India to partner with The Wedding Collective?
The partnership was motivated by our desire to connect with our clients and be part of their significant life event. The goal has always been to engage with our customers through personalisation, building strong and sustainable relationships. By offering exclusive financial solutions to our clients for their big life milestones, we are looking to support their financial well-being and create a memorable experience for them.
What made this collaboration unique compared to others in the industry?
Through this partnership, we could provide access to our clients to the luxury brands which they would be looking for. Enhanced customer experience, expanded reach, providing innovative solutions and building a brand differentiator were some of the goals through this partnership. Whether it was an emotional connection, exclusive offerings or strategic alignment, the collaboration touched the right cord.
What were some of the exciting customer experiences planned?
We offered exclusive discounts on shopping for our customers. At the event, we had an exclusive lounge area for our guests with curated experiences, special offers on the brands and a lot more, enabling us to connect with the closed circle of our network.
