WHO?

Tap into entrepreneurs of all ages including everyone from business students to recently retired Baby Boomers that have an interest in self-employment. Really, anyone who is actively considering starting their own small business. This group is very engaged online and are ready to become passionate advocates for a credit union that cares about them.

WHAT?

The goal is to help credit union members turn their dreams of small business ownership into reality. Changing demographics in small business ownership have created new opportunities for credit unions. More and more people who are nearing retirement age are starting their own businesses. Others would if they had the resources to do so.

Challenge applicants to create content and prove why they deserve a business start-up package from your credit union. What you get, on top of that, is cross-posting, cross-blogging, huge discussion threads and incredible traffic and conversation that spreads from each applicant through their huge network of connected friends.

HOW?

Expand your credit union member engagement and growth by allowing applicants and visitors to spread messages about the Big Idea Biz Challenge, your products and your credit union in general.

WHERE?

Showcase the Big Idea Biz Challenge on our website platform that has the proven combination of design, messaging, navigation and participatory tools to attract applicants and visitors and to keep them involved. Our reach into the social media world through a proven online media plan works so well, you’ll find that a high average of applicants will be non-credit union members anxious to become members.
