DESIGN CONCEPTS OVERVIEW: 1. Mortgage OUTGROWN YOUR HOME Concept: This has been a concept we will continue to run in order to get more Mortgage loans. Feel free to carry over elements from this concept and take your own spin artistically to display it on one of the LAFCU letters. We have a commercial that you can reference for great ideas either by visiting our Facebook or Twitter sites or on LAFCU s YouTube channel. 2. People Helping People Concept: This concept revolves around the credit union philosophy of People Helping People in the communities we live in. 3. Credit Card Concept: We have three new credit cards (Visa Signature, Simple Visa, and Rewards Visa). The interesting and unique visual aspect of these cards (outside of the great rewards and incentives) is that they are vertical in orientation (with the LAFCU logo at the bottom as you see below.) This offers LAFCU a great chance to set us apart from our competitors and brand the name while your card is being read in the card reader. - Please include in your concept an idea that showcases the credit cards in a vertical space.
4. Home Equity Line of Credit Now Can We Get A New Roof Concept: This concept will continue to be utilized as well. Feel free to carry over elements of this campaign with your own unique spin on the concept. We have a commercial that you can reference for great ideas either by visiting our Facebook or Twitter sites or on LAFCU s YouTube channel. 5. Statewide Concept: We now can service your friends and family statewide. Using the representation of the state of Michigan, show this concept.
