MARKETING RESOURCES

Understanding the needs of members and potential members and getting credit union products and services that meet those needs in front of them is the essence of marketing and the essence of the credit union commitment to its members. The Association provides a variety of services to assist credit unions in this effort and to help them get maximum value from their marketing budgets.

Members are encouraged to call the Marketing and Public Advocacy Group when they are looking for marketing resources or if they have questions. Association staff members have many years of experience in credit union marketing as well as access to a large number of credit union marketing resources. A call to the Association is a great way to start researching a marketing related topic. Also because of the discussions Association staff have had with other credit union personnel often a referral can be made to a credit union marketer who has found an interesting solution to the situation being studied. For additional information, please contact Rob Kimmett, Senior Vice President Marketing and Public Relations at rkimmett@cucenter.org or 1-800-842-1242.

The Marketer's Network is a self directed informal group of marketing professionals that meet on a regular (quarterly) basis to network and share information on timely marketing topics. Anyone who is the marketing officer at their credit union or works in the marketing department of their credit union is encouraged to attend. For more information, contact Rob Kimmett Senior Vice President Marketing and Public Relations at 1-800-842-1242 or rkimmett@cucenter.org.
