Most Important Marketing Channels
(as published on The Financial Brand)
Despite many predictions declaring that traditional media is dead, roughly half of all bank and credit union marketers assert that print, TV, radio and outdoor advertising will have about the same importance in 2012 as it did last year. However, financial marketers also say that online advertising, social media and PFM tools will be growing in importance over the next 12 months. This data suggests that future of bank and credit union marketing will shift to the internet, but old habits die hard. It’s also worth noting the increase in significance of data-driven initiatives such as on-boarding, database/matrix marketing, CRM systems and direct mail.

“Short-term disruption of the financial services industry will most likely come from within: when banks partner with financial services entrepreneurs and embrace innovation.” -

It is time to gather with family and friends, to get closer, to share stories and to exchange gifts. This is the time to celebrate, to reunite, to remember, to eat, to drink and of course, be merry. It’s also the time to thank you, our friends, fans and followers.
2011 has been a spectacular year for Geezeo. We started the year with just 13 PFM clients and will end 2011 with more than 70. Through the year our team enhanced features and benefits, launched a new referral product and began offering a variety of new services to countless financial institutions nationwide. We built upon partnerships and even added a few. In short, we’re proud of all that we have accomplished and have you and our team to thank for it.
We look forward to the challenges and possibilities 2012 will bring, and thank you for your continued support. And rest assured, Geezeo will remain a very “social” company.
Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New Year to you and your family.
The Geezeo Team
“ We felt that members are becoming more financially astute and more educated about their overall finances, that the time was right to offer a comprehensive Personal Financial Management tool to meet the needs of out members. Geezeo was simply the best industry partner available that offered a PFM product that was easy to use for the members and easy to administer for the Credit Union.”
