THE CLIENT
Dominion Energy Credit Union in Virginia is a cooperative with around 22,000 members.
THE CHALLENGE
The credit union wanted an easy way to keep in touch not only with new members, but existing members as well.
THE SOLUTION
In 2017, Dominion worked with us to launch a Marketing Automation and onboarding campaign – a program that would vastly expand over the next few years. Marketing Automation and onboarding work cohesively by using trackable leads to increase marketing efficiency to members, which is clearly demonstrated in the impressive numbers from Dominion’s emails and onboarding postcards.
THE RESULTS
From 2017 through the second quarter of 2020, more than 10,500 members became trackable (including both new and existing members). With these trackable leads, Dominion is able to send drip emails to specific members and market to promising targets while hardly lifting a finger.

IN THEIR WORDS
“When we started our onboarding and Marketing Automation campaign with image.works, we had no idea how big and successful it would truly be. With our onboarding program and additional member emails, we’re able to easily track our members and market to them very efficiently. The designs are great and spot on with our branding! The program has only become more effective over time, and we have image.works’ help to thank for making it so easy!”
