A sneaker manufacturer promotes its newest styles with a launch event allowing consumers to compete against a famous sports star for prizes. An online retailer rewards customers by turning an airport baggage carousel into a giant prize wheel that grants travelers whatever prize their luggage lands on. Promotions like these are great examples of “experiential marketing” – a form of advertising that helps consumers experience a brand.Experiential marketing allows consumers to become active participants. These creative and engaging programs build brand awareness, but experiential marketing can also directly drive your bottom-line results.A study by the Event Marketing Institute (EMI) found that when a brand hosts an experiential event, more than three quarters of the consumers who attend will tell their friends and family about it afterward. Additionally, 98% of consumers who have a positive experience with a brand or product through a marketing event will recommend it to others. All of that can add up to increased sales – or, for banks and credit unions, engaged leads and account openings.Savvy community financial institutions actively participate in events within the communities where they operate. Whether it’s a store opening or a street fair, an event offers CFIs the opportunity to engage existing and potential customers, market new products and services, and raise awareness of their brand. Event participation delivers internal benefits for CFIs as well; service reps look forward to events as a way to channel their energy, engage in hands-on training, and build relationships. continue reading » 8SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr

This can be especially effective for couples without children, but is applicable to most working couples. Here are a few things to consider:What are your goals? Are you trying to pay off student loans, a mortgage, or other debts? Or perhaps you’re saving for a down payment on a house or other major purchase, or looking to start a business. Discussing and negotiating these goals with your spouse helps to ensure you’re on the same page and working toward achieving them as a team.What lifestyle decisions need to be made? Even with two healthy incomes, it’s likely that you will have to make sacrifices to live on a single income. Can you reduce your expenses by moving into a smaller home or to a different part of town? Perhaps you can reduce the amount or distance you travel for leisure each year. There are likely numerous ways for you and your spouse to accomplish this.What’s the plan? Once you set your goals, it’s important to make a plan and set milestones. For example, “We will save X dollars per year for Y years, saving a total of Z dollars” gives you a set of concrete targets for what you hope to achieve. This can help energize you as you accomplish the milestones, but it can also provide motivation or encouragement during periods when living on a single income creates challenges.Stick to the plan, but stay flexible! If you’re diligently working toward one goal but other opportunities or conditions arise, you and your spouse may need to rethink your goals. And of course, if an emergency arises, you may need to dip into that second income. Just don’t make a habit of it. Whether you stick to your original plan or need to adapt it to the changing conditions, the initial planning and joint effort should provide you and your spouse with a strong foundation for moving forward.

A preferred language question on the government-sponsored enterprises’ (GSEs) redesigned Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) will now be voluntary instead of mandatory, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced last week. NAFCU flagged for the FHFA credit unions’ cost and legal concerns about the addition of the question.“NAFCU supports efforts to meet the duty to serve requirements to help creditworthy borrowers in underserved communities achieve homeownership,” said NAFCU Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt. “If included on the URLA, the preferred language question could pose legal and cost-related complications for credit unions and their members, and slow down the home buying process. We appreciate the agency taking time to consider these consequences.”The FHFA in June delayed the optional use period – set to begin July 1 – of the redesigned URLA and has now also delayed the mandatory effective date, which was February 2020. The FHFA indicated it would work with stakeholders to finalize the URLA form and develop a new implementation timeline; no new date has been announced.

Do you ever wonder what it takes to keep some school’s athletic boosters happy? Some fans crumble when their coach wins at an 80% level because he/she doesn’t win the sectional every year. I think I recall a couple of coaches like this. Others grumble because he/she doesn’t win games by a large enough margin. In other words, they don’t run the score up on an opponent when they get them down. Others win state titles but when they have a bad year they are let go because–I guess–they aren’t playing the right players or the ones they are playing are not winning. Some schools find real clever ways to get rid of a successful coach when they run out of favor by rewriting the job description. When the school does this, they must open it up to new applicants. They usually extend an invitation to the present coach to apply, but you know darn well they are not going to hire them back. Most of the time someone in a system has enough power to tilt the scales so that the administration is put in a situation that requires some kind of action or they will be the next ones to feel the wrath of the powers that be. What normally occurs is the new coach doesn’t have any more success than the predecessor and the whole process goes into action again. In fact, the new coach usually does worse. What it boils down to is you win when you have good athletes–you lose when you do not!
Sally and I went to St. Louis Cemetery to check on a couple of graves when we noticed two interesting tombstones. On the way into the cemetery, the first stone you see is the motorcycle image on Buddy Riley’s grave. Just beyond that is the headstone for Dave Laudick’s grave. I had not really paid attention to the complete imagery on these stones until it was mentioned by someone that we should check them more carefully.I knew that Buddy Riley loved Kentucky basketball. All around his residence were Wildcat symbols. On the front of his stone is a UK emblem. On the back of Dave Laudick’s stone is an IU insignia. Those of you who knew Dave are aware of his passion for not only Batesville sports but his passion for IU. They used to kid each other all the time about who had the best college basketball team. A fun rivalry has gone beyond the grave. Both of these men are greatly missed by their families and friends and will never be forgotten.
