March Newsletter

The birds are flying back, the sun is peeking in, and we are busy cleaning up for spring!

This month's theme is all about helping your cardholders spring clean their finances and renew their working relationship with your credit union. ​This means continuing to focus on low rate products and encouraging balance transfers to help cardholders consolidate their balances.

As we close this quarter and move into the next, it’s also important to evaluate your team’s efforts so you can spring clean your own processes, and find out what works and what doesn’t. We’re here to help you do just that.   


WHAT'S NEW

Milestones Check-Ins

Consistent evaluation is important, which is why we're introducing check-ins to the Milestones program.

By providing valuable information in terms of approved applications, you will be able to review your teams efforts and make a careful assessment of what works and what doesn't. This will help you strategise accordingly and focus your teams overall efforts.

As an additional incentive, top-performing branches will be announced in our monthly newsletters after each check-in and provided with a special reward.

Further information on rewards will be communicated closer to date.

DIGITAL ASSETS SURVEY

To reduce environmental impact and maximize content management flexibility, we are moving away from print. That means downloadable digital assets at your convenience, and much less paper waste.

That’s also why we need to know how to best serve your needs in this phase, including creating the type of digital assets that will best complement your marketing platforms, delivery and ensure you have the right sizes and formats.

TIPS & TRICKS

Did you know that email marketing campaigns can be highly effective? Unlike direct mail campaigns, email campaigns can offer a greater return on investment (ROI) because of its low initial cost. 

Here are a few quick tips for a successful email campaign:

  • Please make sure your credit union/financial institution have member permission to receive commercial e-mail from you. Your internal Compliance Officer or Legal Department are you best resources to confirm.

  • Easily download email assets by visiting the campaign pages on Collabria Connect. 
  • Depending on your email marketing platform, you can customize and format your email according to your credit union’s overall brand feel.
  • Personalized content, even one as simple as ‘Hi Jane Doe’, has been shown to dramatically boost email’s effectiveness. So, if your email marketing platform has the capacity to do this – it’s an easy win!
