Social Media is Essential for Banks to Reach Customers, Declares Keynote Panel at 2016 American Bankers Association Conference
Palm Dessert, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2016 -- Banking Leaders including CEO’s and other industry leaders converged at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort for the ABA National Conference for Community Bankers this week. GREMLN Social Media CEO Chris Moloney, and Mike Cruz, Digital Marketing Manager at TheBANK of Edwardsville, led a panel discussion on How Community Banks Can Win With Millennials. David Stillman, generations expert, founder of GenZGuru, and best-selling author, moderated the panel.
“Right now, Millennials are looking for a partner they can trust as they travel the road of financial success,” said Cruz. “It’s a perfect opportunity for community banks like TheBANK to begin building fruitful, long term relationships with them today.”
“Banks are realizing incredible growth by leveraging social media effectively and by educating their teams on how to expand their business networks,” said Moloney. “Being able to actively manage that activity and reduce compliance risks is essential for banks today. These customers are key to the banks’ future and they want to communicate with us differently.”
The panel also highlighted that social media is a key tool for banks to use to communicate with customers and for banks to show how they are supporting their communities. “Over the next few years, banks must master social media in order to retain customers and gather new ones,” Moloney added.
