A Faster Horse: eStatements can be a "need" more than a "want"

by Ron Daly

Henry Ford was rumored to have said:
"If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said 'a faster horse'".
I'm sure that Mr. Ford wasn't out to say the people who buy/use your services are short-sighted or small-minded. It's just that they often want the familiar to get better. But bring them something with all they've wanted and more and they'll wonder how they lived without your innovation.

EStatements are a service of DigitalMailer, one that we find ourselves recommending more and more these days as a means of saving money. Most of the credit unions we work with have the same initial reluctance - that the members won't be comfortable with electronic statements and they won't be open to the idea of receiving statements through the Customer Communication Center. What you wouldn't believe is that customers really do love their eStatements - and CUs like the convenience and control of advertising inside the eStatement space.

I could go on for an hour about eStatements and the CCC. In fact, I do - in our newest webinar:

The Customer Communication Center: A Better Mouse Trap

In which we teach you how to bring eStatements into the fold, improve your marketing through online channels and save money, save money, save money.

Sign up here, on the Webinar Page, for the forthcoming session on the 28th of April, or for the two later dates

Please, feel free to come join us. Spaces are limited, so sign up now!

Happy Birthday, Blog!

by Ron Daly

The DigitalMailer blog will be a year old as of tomorrow. We're very excited to have added the blog to our website and to be able to communicate with you - our partners, our clients, our friends - on a regular basis.

Having spent a year in the blog-scape (or just about), we thought we'd share a few lessons we've learned along the way.
1) Rome wasn't built in a day, even if your blog was.

Jimmy Marks, our Creative Media Director, made this blog work on our site and set up an archive people could read through. It didn't take him long to get things rolling and for us to post stories and topics of interest. But gaining a readership and bringing in people was tough, and at times a little disheartening. Luckily, we stuck with it and it has had lasting benefits.

2) Write for the people you care about

We wanted to do what we could to give our clients and partners, both current and potential, a look at how we operate. People use our stories and posts to get a look inside our world and, hopefully, to better their own.

3) Don't be afraid to expand

Our other blogs, clickconnectcommunicate.com and cusoapbox.com, came out of our desire to share our thoughts with our joined industries - communication technologies and credit unions. CCC Blog stands to give our friends and neighbors our thoughts on emerging technologies. CU Soapbox is growing every month, becoming a mouthpiece for folks in the CU industry who want to keep up with what's going on. But we keep this blog running to highlight the good works of our employees and our company as a whole.

4) If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

I'm a fairly quiet guy. I didn't know how much fun I was going to have writing short stories and ideas about the industry here in my own little corner of the internet. My number one goal: don't let it feel like a chore. If I don't want to post anything, I don't post anything. If I do, I let 'er rip. And the blog maintains no deadlines.
When you're looking for the good news about DigitalMailer, or just want my two cents, this is where you should start. We're happy to be here, and we look forward to many more years online.
