#CreditUnion mission-driver through marketing, UI, & UX. Often makes Disney & Doctor Who references. Futurist. Urbanist. Cyclist. 🐱 person. 🏳️‍🌈 ally.

As this platform spiraled, I reduced usage commensurate with the decline. Unfortunately, now, it is a tool for infantile actions, dangerous social decisions, and poor business sense. So, meet me on LinkedIn for educated & geeky #creditunion conversations: https://t.co/JgAAAgfqAh

As #creditunions merge, so too will the big advocacy orgs. Good time to ensure efforts support mission at all levels (ie. Social ills may be causing financial challenges and that's the mission, too) @cuna @NAFCU HT @CUTodayInfo

It's more than just hot. It's #climatechange plus El Niño plus "heat dome" = members who are suffering in more ways than one.
How can you help with unexpected costs staying cool or improving insulation in homes?

The #junkfee train is entering a new station. #Creditunions, how can you ensure when it arrives at yours, you aren't on the list?
(I mean, just get rid of punitive fees and focus on building value through loyalty, innovative services, and meaningful sales efforts)

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, our Administration announced actions to tackle rental housing junk fees.

Millions of Americans are hit with application fees and "convenience fees" when renting – and often, they cost more than the actual service.

They add up, so we're doing something about them.

#Creditunion members are not waiting around for your campaigns. You need to share their existence and generate excitement.
And regularly. Remember that whole "you need to see something 7 times to recall"?
That applies here, too.

.@notjustbikes and @StrongTowns orange-pill supporters: My city zoning board asked for data on the safety improvements of continuous sidewalks after the concept was introduced. Does anyone know where that research can be found? Thanks!

[Joe Winn, Credit Union Geek @JoeCUGeek]

Marketing is how your members know what your #creditunion offers.
Service is how your members decide if what you offer is worth their effort.
You need both to succeed.

Oh look, a deal for people who can't do basic math. Seen on @MacRumors #PrimeDay listing.

To be clear, that's not an artist impression. That's reality. When you see those 6 diffraction spikes, you know you've got amazing science and imagery on the way!

Cheers to our first year! 🥂

Of course, it also adds an "(a)" version to the Safari user agent string, making some websites not load correctly. Rookie mistake.
Workaround by switching your user agent to any other browser choice.

Enter your home. Discover the rapidly-approaching challenges #climatechange will have on your life. Then wonder, "hey, we're already getting the 30-year estimates today...that can't be good." https://t.co/ItU1zrgpfw

With a variable refresh rate down to 1Hz on a 12.9", plus a magnetic detachable base (like Magic Keyboard, but without inputs) you've got your smart home always-on display.

It's not about the "censored" (read: less likely to provide violent info or misinformation/conspiracy theories). It's that the novelty is wearing off. When every company has #chatbot or #AI creator, it's not new and exciting (even if more practical now).

If your #creditunion is wondering, "how do we get more deposits and activity" and also aren't asking, "what useful and conversation-starting tech is out there", well, that's a good place to start.

Call it a short week, call it the middle, either way, it's on the down-slide! With all the celebratory energy, how can you use it to improve the lives of your members? (Hint: Invite your marketing people to this discussion!)
