Who Are You Wrong For?
For the second episode of “Blow Up Your Marketing,” Jeff asks, “Are you trying to be everything to everybody?” Who do you think your FI just isn’t right for? Your brand has to know who you do and do not want to target and run with it.

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:
The Future of Financial Branding Jeffry Pilcher guest blogged for Open Source CU recently and discussed in a two-part series The Future of Financial Branding. He gives six predictions about what trends we’ll see, which institutions will thrive, and what problems others will run into. He makes a call for credit unions to really stand out and be different, try something new to make your brand unique. Besides, who isn’t jumping on the “green” wagon these days? Your customers will expect more.
I Can Has Account?
Speaking of Jeffry Pilcher, he posted on his blog about Arizona State Credit Union and their new campaign targeting college students through the use of LOL Cats. Using the phrase, “I Can Has Cheezburger,” after the extremely popular website, their campaign offers an actual free cheeseburger when college students open new checking accounts. Some think this is a great effort on ASCU’s part to reach out to Gen Y through their obsession with LOL Cats. What are your thoughts on ASCU’s new campaign, or as I like to call it, LOLpaign?
And on this note, I made a mistake when discussing this with Mark earlier. The exclamation point was in the Twitter that Jeffry Pilcher posted, not actually in the promotional sign created by ASCU. I had it backwards, but I still noticed!

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:
Q&A: Does the company you work for use Twitter?
Banktastic’s own Community Manager asked a question recently to learn more about Twitter usage among our members’ companies. We got a lot of varying responses where people ran their company’s twitter, only used a personal one, or had none at all.
I personally think that each company should give Twitter a solid chance. Aside from the fact that it’s free to use and connects you with an enormous audience, it’s a great way to put a personal touch on your brand. You get to communicate on a very casual (and fun) level with your customers with Twitter. Handle customer satisfaction issues, troubleshooting, promote new products or services - use Twitter anyway you want for your company. Seriously, give it a shot.
