Credit Union Marketing Automation & Member Journeys
how we serve your mission
Onboarding journeys
New members get a planned series of messages in their first weeks: set up digital banking, move direct deposit, activate the card, and learn what else the credit union offers.
Next-product journeys
Offers are triggered by life stage and member activity, so a member hears about an auto loan, a certificate, or a credit card when it's relevant.
Application follow-up
People who start an account or loan application and stop get reminders and help to finish.
Re-engagement
Members who go quiet get messages designed to bring them back before they drift to another institution.
Journey content
RC Strategies writes and designs the emails and texts in each journey, in your brand and with the required disclosures.
Journey reporting
Each journey reports its results: accounts opened, products added, and applications finished.

What clients ask before we start
What is credit union marketing automation?
Credit union marketing automation sends members the right message at the right time without staff sending each one by hand: onboarding for new members, offers when a member's needs change, and reminders to finish applications. RC Strategies plans, writes, builds, and reports on these journeys.
Which member journeys should a credit union build first?
Onboarding and application follow-up, because both act on members who have already chosen you. Onboarding asks for direct deposit and card use while the member is still settling in, and application follow-up recovers people who stopped partway. RC Strategies adds next-product and re-engagement journeys after those are running.
What results can marketing automation deliver?
At a Southeast Region credit union, RC Strategies' automation helped raise cross-sell among younger members by 30% and gave a two-person marketing team the capacity of a much larger one, with no new hires.
Which platform do you use?
RC Strategies is a HubSpot Solutions Partner and often builds journeys in HubSpot. If your credit union already uses another marketing platform, RC Strategies builds the journeys there.
Does automation connect to our core and digital banking data?
Journeys work best when they can see account and activity data. RC Strategies connects the marketing platform to the systems your credit union already uses, within what those systems support, and uses only the data each journey needs.
How do you handle consent and opt-outs?
Email journeys honor unsubscribe requests, and text messages go only to members who agreed to receive them. RC Strategies builds consent and opt-out handling into every journey.
