Working with a Credit Union Strategy Partner

As you may know, Membership Enhancement Solutions provides a value driven membership enhancement program called Invest in America (IIA). Participating credit unions are able to develop their membership enhancement strategies and align them to IIA’s strategy, which can present a real opportunity for auto loan, non-interest income and debit/credit card transaction growth. To assist in these efforts, Invest in America posts its marketing calendar online so you can plan your marketing activities accordingly.

IIA is in the early stages of a four-month long Web banner ad and online search media campaign that integrates seven key themes that focus on the program’s key partners. Monthly IIA marketing calendars, available in the LoveMyCreditUnion.org Partner Center, provide significant dates and recommended actions so your credit union can take full advantage of IIA’s major year-end campaign. For example, this month's calendar has the dates and suggested locations to post DIRECTV, GM and home improvement banners on your website which tie into the campaign. These banners can also be found in the Partner Center and can easily be placed in the appropriate areas of your website.

Ongoing Invest in America marketing efforts include weekly emails, blogs and social media posts whose subject matter is listed in the calendar. As part of this initiative, IIA sends weekly emails to those members who have opted in for additional program information. IIA also sends credit unions weekly emails that they can send to their members. Participating credit unions have come to rely on the marketing calendar to plan their marketing strategy, ensuring it aligns with the weekly IIA emails.

Membership Enhancement Solutions strives to provide you with valuable turnkey tools that enable you to align your marketing strategy with Invest in America’s. This alignment in turn optimizes your member enhancement efforts and ties them to your core services.
