Your SWAP $$ At Work!
If you are in the Rapid City area, be sure to watch for the new billboards promoting Dakota credit unions and YourMoneyFurther.com. Also, keep your eyes open for both digital and printed SWAP advertising – started statewide across both North and South Dakota! Our highly visible campaign includes both digital and printed billboards, online ad display networks, and printed newspaper ads in our contributing markets. Artwork on all platforms will be changed often to keep it fresh and eye-catching. Plus, don’t forget to pay attention to Gas Station TV (GSTV) whenever you are filling up your tanks, because those ads are running through the summer months! And remember, contributing credit unions also have enhanced listings on yourmoneyfurther.com, so be sure your listings are all customized and updated to maximize your placement(s)! Contact Lindsey Hefta if you have any questions, or to learn how you can support our Statewide Awareness Program (SWAP).
