THE CLIENT
Transportation Federal Credit Union in Alexandria, Virginia, has a healthy and growing membership of more than 19,000, with assets topping $221 million.
THE CHALLENGE
The credit union wished to boost their Visa® credit card accounts and activity.
THE SOLUTION
image.works crafted a holiday shopping campaign (consisting of direct mail pieces and branch and website collateral) that promoted a limited-time seasonal rate and easy application process.
THE RESULTS
The three-month campaign increased credit card enrollment and spending – resulting in:
$4,645,317.48 in Visa Purchases
In October alone, new cardholder numbers more than tripled in comparison to the previous year:
| Year | Number of New Visa Credit Cards | Total Credit Card Balances |

IN THEIR WORDS
“We chose to work with image.works because of the ability to make changes without the high cost. Plus, the great team and great design work – the designer was able to take our concept and create a die-cut mailer to emphasize the rate. We surpassed our original goal of $2 million. The final numbers were $4,645,317.48, with an average of $71.32 per transaction!”
