Topic: Millennials – What Do They Want From Their Bank and How Can we Reach Them?
Insights from Craig Rodenberger, VP Marketing Director, at Ephrata National Bank and Panel discussion with Millennial employees from The Kafafian Group: Andrew Rietz, Kyle Kuster, Megan McMahon and Will Ball
What do Millennials want from their bank? How important is proximity of a branch? Craig Rodenberger, experienced bank marketing executive, shares his insights on the challenges and opportunities in attracting millennials and how best to market to them to capture their business. We see the research but want to hear from actual millennials at TKG who range in age from 29 to 36. The Deloitte Global Millennial Survey has shown that Millennials and Gen Zs will patronize companies that align with their values and many will limit or cut ties when they are opposed to companies’ business practices, values or political leanings. But did any millennial you know leave Wells Fargo after the fake-accounts scandal? Join us for this eye-opening delve into the millennial mind!
