Content marketing plays a critical role in credit union marketing. It engages the target audience, builds trust, and contributes towards the credit union brand as an authority in the financial services industry.

Valuable, educational, and relevant content attracts potential members and continues to add value to the lives of current members. This can include blog posts, videos, infographics, and social media posts that educate members about financial literacy, saving strategies, investment opportunities, and much more. We’ve seen some fantastic content credit unions use to engage their target audience including calculators, video interviews about personal budgeting, webinars/videos for setting financial goals, and tips for building and improving credit scores.

Content marketing helps to humanize a credit union’s brands and connect with the audience on a personal level. This is important for credit unions, as they are often viewed as faceless institutions. By sharing stories, values, and personality through content, brands can build a strong emotional connection with their members.
