What are the Biggest Marketing Challenges in Front of Us?
The conference will begin with a brief group discussion in order to get the largest
issues in the open so we can develop solutions throughout the day and leave with
a clear action plan.
Branding Begins Internally
(Ken Bator)
As Marketing Professionals we need to be seen as just that – professionals. Getting other areas involved in the process and leading the way for everyone to
communicate in a consistent way is the key. Consistency is critical to successful
marketing. If we can demonstrate that we all have a very similar perception of
the institution and what it stands for, many of the hidden agendas can be erased.
Break
Who Owns Your Brand
(Bret Rigby)
Most brand managers and executives think they own their brand. While they
make decisions about the brand, ultimately it is owned by the customer/member. It is the brand image in the customer/member’s mind that is most important
because it drives the buying decision. This session will include also look at the
disconnect between market research and the reality of what our members actually spend their time, energy and money on.
Lunch
Build Relationships on the Front Line
(James Robert Lay)
In today’s market place, the most trusted and well received marketing channel is not a direct mail piece, TV spot, newspaper ad or even a web site. Your
best marketing channel as a credit union is your members and staff. During this
session, progressive social marketer James Robert Lay will explore ways organizations outside of the credit union world are growing through word of mouth
initiatives. It’s all about turning your staff and members into walking and talking
billboards to share your credit union’s love with their friends and family.
How Do We Put All These Ideas Into One Plan?
(Ken Bator)
If we can put the ideas on paper, at least in some form, they become a reality. The key is to use it as a valuable tool rather than a pile of paper sitting on a
shelf collecting dust.
Q&A Panel Discussion
A wrap-up discussion reviewing the issues listed at the beginning of the day to
ensure we all leave with a clear and concise action plan.
