Take Your Newsletter from So-So to Sensational

Plus receive FREE newsletter production

Newsletters are one of the most common marketing tools used by credit unions. The newsletter keeps your member informed about your products, services and events, and always keeps your name front and center. It is a good source of information and shows members they can count on you.

With such an important role, is your newsletter sending the right message?

It its been a while since your newsletter was updated, it may be time for a change. Perhaps you've had a shift in your membership or your credit union has grown. Your newsletter could be presenting an out-dated or out-of-touch image.

"Profound brought us a fresh and exciting new look," says Elaine Williams, marketing director for Riegelwood Federal Credit Union, the previous contest winner. "With a new design that really jumps out at you, it is more interesting for members to read. The makeover has taken our newsletter to the next level. Plus the Profound team is so easy to work with. We have a great connection."

"The newsletter is a key communication strategy for credit unions and is a critical tool for informing members about new products, services and policies," says Tammy Holtzmeier, CEO of Profound Communications. "It is crucial to maintain a newsletter that reflects the membership of the credit union so that the publication remains an effective and valued source of information."

If your newsletter needs a redesign, enter the Credit Union Newsletter Makeover Contest. The winner will receive a fresh new design for their newsletter and free quarterly newsletter production for two quarters*, including copywriting and design. The design will complement the credit union's other marketing efforts while breathing new life into the publication.
