1Credit union branding is
about revealing and
promoting an easily
understood, authentic
difference over an
extended period of time
LESSON
2LESSON Your credit union
difference must be
extremely compelling to a
defined group of people
3LESSON A credit union must
create and promote
compelling products
and services to thrive
4LESSON
Better does not
make your credit
union different
5LESSON
Expanding your credit
union’s geographic
footprint and broadening
its field of membership
requires a extremely
differentiated brand
6LESSON
The built-in credit union
difference is no longer
readily understood and
even when it is
understood it is not
compelling
7LESSON
A credit union must actually
decide on its difference,
make fundamental changes
to support that decision
and grow into its brand
over time
New reality.
It’s a conversation.
