    When looking for Bank or Credit Union marketing ideas we follow the trade blogs, and great sites like www.cuinsight.com, but we also look OUTSIDE the industry for inspiration.

    Check out these great marketing blogs for lots of awesome Bank and Credit Union marketing ideas!

    One article that stood out to me... a great piece on 5 ways to get your employees to become brand advocates. Every single Community Bank and Credit Union out there needs to work on this one for sure!

    Marketing Blog #3: Creative Guerrilla Marketing 

    Now this site is pretty out there in terms of ideas. They share extremely creative campaigns and ideas from all over the world. The examples they feature may not all be easily applicable to Credit Unions or Banks, but I think they do get the grey cells going!

    For example, this article features lots of wild ways big brands have showcased their products, often on real world objects. Perhaps these could inspire you to look at ATM receipts or local benches or billboards differently, as opportunities to creatively deliver your branded message with more emotion, shock value, or even a little sense of humor!
