The Top 10 CU Soapbox Articles of 2012
Another year has run its course. We thought we’d wrap up this year of soapy, shouty goodness with a look at the ten best articles of the year (based on number of page visits).
It’s interesting to see what had everyone talking early in 2012 and how much things changed in a few short months. What do you think will be the hot news item of 2013?
As always, thanks for reading. Here’s hoping you enjoy this look back, and we’ll see you in a few days for a new year of the CU Soapbox.
- The “Overly Attached Girlfriend” Approach to Follow-Up
We’ve all met people like this…people who can’t let go. They’re the people who obsess over their relationships and go a tad bit crazy. It’s not just “girlfriends” that do this – boyfriends can be just as guilty, as can best friends or even casual acquaintances.
Or, in some cases, marketers.
- WTF? What’s Next, No “Union”?
This is a crock. What’s next? They start saying we’re not allowed to use the word “Union” because labor forces complained? How are you supposed to tell people you’re “much more than a bank” when you can’t say the word “bank”?
- Suze Orman gets into the prepaid card game — and out of the good graces of the CU Industry?
Suze Orman wasn’t hired to promote CREDIT UNIONS, she was hired to promote NCUA and their capacity as the insurer of cu deposits. But people read “Suze Orman” and “NCUA” and interpreted that as “Credit Union Spokeswoman”.
Which is unfortunate, because Suze Orman just decided to set herself up as a prepaid card magnate.
