There aren’t enough hours in the day. How many times do we say this to ourselves while trying to get all the marketing tasks done? There’s so much to do, and the end of 2022 is rapidly approaching.
Planning ahead sets you up for success. Stay on track throughout the busy holiday by putting an easy-to-follow plan in place for your 2023 marketing initiatives. Our award-winning Marketing Services team is here to help with end-of-year consultations.
Planning Your Year
Problem: Too many projects, budget concerns, tight deadlines, etc.
Solution: Consultation and planning
Using the calendar as a tool, Marketing Services can assist your credit union in developing an effective 2023 marketing plan that focuses on annual business goals and marketing objectives. Keep the following in mind as you get started:
- Limit the number of marketing objectives. (You can have the same objective each quarter.)
- Make objectives or goals specific and measurable.
- Promote your most profitable and popular product(s).
