Musings from the CU Suite

 

Editor's note: Here's my top post of 2015. And it shouldn't be a surprise - it a post that highlights the power and value of our industry. As we wrap up 2015, let us never forget that we work in an industry that is a force for good. Thanks for all you do.

I've heard a number of people in the past few weeks talk about the need for a national branding campaign for credit unions. 

I can see both sides of the argument. Many such campaigns fail. They cost a ton.  And free riders benefit from the effort, without donating any sweat equity into the campaign.

I'll say this, though. Many of the best movements weren't orchestrated. They simply sprang up when the time was right. 

So here's today's experiment. There are roughly 1,700 people that read this blog. I'll ask each of you a favor. Watch this video.

If you can't see an image, you can watch the video here.

If you agree with the video, do me another favor. Post it to your Facebook page. Tweet it. If there are other social media channels that you use, share it through them. 

And do me one more favor. You may have credit union "friends" within your network. When you share it, ask others to share it as well. 

Collectively, let's see what we can do. The cost? Nothing. Potential? Let's see. 

This video currently has 11,137 views. Which is a shame. Let's see what it looks like next week.

Who's in?
