Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:
National Credit Union Brand
Mark talks about a hot debate going on over in the CU Tomorrow Blog. Jill Nowacki posted about a national credit union brand, but not necessarily a national advertising campaign. Jill started a great conversation on the blog, even sparking posts on other blogs. This is a hot topic right now, so check out the above links to read through the posts and comments, then share your own thoughts!
Credit Unions are like Lemmings
Mark also mentions an article posted by Robbie Wright that discusses how credit unions are like lemmings. Here’s a quote from the article:
“Credit unions are lemmings. Nobody ever wants to be the first one to do something. Then, slowly, as some credit unions adopt the new technology/process/whatever more CU’s start to follow. Pretty soon it is a mad rush because nobody wants to be the last.”
If you agree that credit unions seem to play follow the leader when it comes to innovation, let us know by commenting on the blog, or sharing your thoughts on the original post. Also, lemmings are real. Mark didn’t know that. Did you?
