Beyond Account Volume: DeepTarget Quantifies the Product-Level Mechanics of the $116.44 Per User Benchmark
Press Release March 26, 2026
Part Two of the $116.44 Per User Whitepaper Series Details How Shifting from Volume-Based Metrics to Value-Optimized Portfolios Maximizes Institutional Profitability
Institutional growth comes from using AI to move beyond being an account custodian to a proactive advisor—identifying optimization moments that migrate users into high-value, long-term relationships

HUNTSVILLE, AL, March 26, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- DeepTarget Inc., a leader in intelligent revenue automation, today released a high-impact whitepaper: $116.44 Per User – Part 2: Understanding Product Value – What Each New Account Actually Means. While most institutions track growth by account volume, this report provides the financial mechanics to optimize for institutional value by quantifying the specific products, balances, and relationship dynamics that determine financial performance.

"Most financial institutions measure success by counting new accounts, but volume alone is a vanity metric if it isn't optimized for value," said Preetha Pulusani. "There is a massive strategic gap between a $17 monthly IRA and a $169 money market account, yet they are often marketed with the same intensity. Real institutional growth comes from using AI to move beyond being a passive account custodian to a proactive advisor—identifying 'optimization moments' that migrate users into high-value, long-term relationships."

The report builds on the foundational analysis introduced in Part 1 by quantifying the sources of that revenue — including specific product categories, balances and relationship dynamics that determine financial performance. In this whitepaper, you will discover:
• The Precise Revenue of 10 Account Types: Break down the exact monthly and annual revenue generated by every product from checking to mortgages.
• The $2,031 Money Market Opportunity: How to identify "trapped liquidity" to migrate users from low-yield savings to high-value money markets.
• The 4-Week Auto Purchase Window: Tactics to identify purchase intent and deliver pre-approvals before customers visit a dealership.
• Mortgages as the "Crown Jewel": Why the $1,440 annual value of a mortgage is the ultimate anchor for 30 years of cross-selling.
• Strategic Value of Engagement Anchors: Why credit cards are essential "fuel" that generate 50+ marketing impressions annually.
• The 39-Million Unit Used Car Market: Strategies to capture a market 2.3x larger than new car sales to win younger demographics.
• Automated Life-Stage Triggers: How AI identifies retirement, home improvement, and debt consolidation needs in real-time.
• The Self-Funding Revenue Engine: How to transition from a passive custodian to a proactive advisor using automated data intelligence.

The findings confirm that the $116.44-per-user benchmark is not a theoretical construct but a repeatable result of optimized engagement portfolios built around data and AI.
