Washington – NAFCU Services Corporation (www.nafcu.org/nafcuservices) and Affinion Group will host a free webinar educating credit unions about new strategies and best practices for building and maintaining a merchant-funded loyalty program on Tuesday, September 25, at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
The program will include case studies of real-world deployments of various programs and results generated for credit unions. The rewards programs won a 2012 NAFCU Services Corporation Innovation Award, presented at the NAFCU Annual Conference in July 2012.
Additional benefits to attendees will include:
- Details on how a merchant-funded program is a win-win for the credit union, their members, and participating merchants.
- Greater understanding of the merchant-funded marketplace and the key players in the space.
- Tips for selecting a merchant-funded program.
“NAFCU Services recognized Affinion Group’s merchant-funded program as a best-in-class technology with an Innovation Award at our annual conference earlier this year,” said David Frankil, president of NAFCU Services. “This is a largely untapped space with tons of potential for credit unions, offering new ways to attract, retain and engage members.”
