Finance Advertising Solutions in Detroit
Reach More Members with Strategic Credit Union Marketing
Detroit credit unions face more competition from fintech companies and banks than ever. To remain competitive, you need a strong digital marketing plan. This can help you recruit new members, promote your financial products, and create long-term relationships. We focus on digital marketing for credit unions at Beasley Media Group.
Unlike big banks, credit unions are all about building trust and personal relationships. Without decent brand awareness or a strong digital marketing plan, even the most community-focused credit unions can struggle to gain traction. Our targeted marketing solutions put your message in front of the right people at the right time, making your credit union the go-to financial institution in Detroit.
How We Help Credit Unions Succeed
Beasley Media Group provides a range of digital marketing solutions that will help increase your membership, loan applications, and brand loyalty. This is how we help credit unions in Detroit:

Trust is the most important building block of any finance company. Our campaigns build trust by using authentic member reviews and educational content. We also focus on managing your online reputation for potential members. We create powerful messages that highlight your credit union’s values and dedication to the Detroit community. A good brand reputation builds loyalty and encourages more referrals, which are essential for credit unions looking to expand their membership base. Our solutions establish your credit union as a trusted financial partner.

It Increases Brand Awareness
Effective advertising strategies have helped make new offerings from fintechs more recognizable than those from traditional financial institutions. This highlights the power of the right marketing campaigns in creating brand awareness. Whether you're a new player in the finance industry or you want to make your latest products and services known, effective advertising is key.
It Reaches the Right Consumers
Nearly 90% of consumers prefer personalized advertisements that help them feel understood and valued. Delivering personalized advertisements is easiest online, as you can target digital marketing to specific audiences. For example, you could use target audience segmentation to show adverts for individual retirement accounts to consumers over 50.
It Helps Financial Institutions Grow
Studies show that banks that invest in marketing maintain higher loan-to-deposit ratios, while increasing the number of loans and deposits. Researchers observed this growth for banks of all sizes, from small community banks to larger national financial organizations. While the research focused on bank advertising, all kinds of financial institutions can expect growth when they prioritize marketing.

- Geo-Targeting Campaigns: Focus your marketing efforts on particular neighborhoods and communities where your target members live and work. This helps ensure your marketing spend is as efficient as possible.

An educated audience is more likely to put their financial trust in your credit union. Our content marketing solutions establish your credit union as a trusted financial source. We create blog articles on topics like:

Strategies for Financial Services Marketing
Financial businesses can use various strategies for their marketing. We’ll consider your goals to help you find the right approach. Here are some effective marketing solutions for financial service providers.
Educational Content Marketing
Educational content marketing helps empower consumers by teaching them about financial concepts. For example, a good educational wealth management marketing campaign may explain different investment strategies. This approach can help consumers feel in control and position the business as a trusted advisor.
Many channels are suitable for educational content marketing, including:
- Blogs
- Social media
- Podcasts
- Newsletters
- Interviews
- Whitepapers
- Webinars
- Live streams
- Conferences
Welcome and Onboarding Advertising
Welcome and onboarding marketing can help new customers feel valued and confident using your services. For example, you might highlight features of products they've purchased and suggest services that complement their existing accounts. Asking customers how they'd like to receive marketing can improve reception to these materials.
Product Recommendations
Onboarding isn't the only opportunity to recommend products. Monitor your customers' needs and promote new opportunities to them as their profiles change. For example, if a customer opens a joint savings account with a partner, you might recommend home loan products.
Customer Re-Engagement Campaigns
Look for opportunities to re-engage your customers and help them make the most of their services. For example, if they've left a savings account dormant, you might send a promotional email offering a higher interest rate for deposits over the next six months. If they start a credit card application but don't complete it, you could reach out and offer to help them secure this product.
Loyalty Marketing
Promotions that reward the loyalty of long-term customers can help them feel valued, increase positive word-of-mouth and encourage them to stay with your institution. Cashback offers, small free gifts and exclusive interest rates can all impress loyal customers.
Promotions and Seasonal Campaigns
Promotions and seasonal campaigns can leverage popular holidays and deliver timely offers to new and prospective customers. Financial occasions, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, tax time and the end of the financial year are especially relevant bank and credit union digital marketing opportunities. You could also play Santa around Christmastime with a festive advertising campaign that offers incentives to new account holders.
