10 10 Web Site Banner Ads Banner ads have not been updated as of late. Prior to our last audit in December/January, the last Web audit was completed in April of 2012 (they are done twice annually: April and year end). Updated materials, including lobby materials and Web banner ads were sent out in June 2012, so if credit unions were not linked correctly beginning in June 2012, they would have not updated and would not show until the next audit which is where we currently are. Once they update correctly, there will be no need to do it again as updates will automatically happen. If a the league/LSC or credit union does not notify our Client Support Team (ClientSupport@cusolutionsgroup.com) that they have made the update, it will not be updated in our records until the next official audit. Part of the reason we send monthly reports to the leagues/LSCs is to give you the opportunity to communicate the information with your credit unions and update our team as needed.ClientSupport@cusolutionsgroup.com

11 11 The annual Sprint marketing incentives are generated from overall member usage – a good reason to keep it in members’ minds. The more the program is taken advantage of, the more members save and the higher the incentives become. Credit union marketing requirements: Promote Sprint service exclusively Include a quarterly statement insert at least once per Contract Year Continuously display Sprint lobby materials Publish approved newsletter articles at least two (2) times per Contract Year Display approved Sprint banner and link on credit union website Additional ways credit unions can keep Sprint growing: statement messaging, posters, team up with local Sprint stores for lobby events, add the discount to benefits of credit union employment.

12 12 Renewal Forms for the Sprint Credit Union Member Discount program should be submitted no later than October of the new Contract Year (October 2013). Participating credit unions are responsible for marketing the program throughout the entire Contract Year, via their website, lobby and newsletter beginning in October, regardless of when they schedule their statement insert mailing, by utilizing the free materials provided. Credit unions can submit their renewal form in October and still schedule for a July statement insert mailing. In the future, please communicate this to your credit unions to ensure that they have ample time to fulfill all of the minimum marketing requirements. Remaining opportunities for the 2012-2013 Contract Year statement insert: July Mailing (6/30/2013 Statement Closing Date) Requests must be received by 6/1/2013 Of the 1,838 participating credit unions, 13% (248) have not yet renewed for the 2012 - 2013 Contract Year.

13 13 As our partner, here are the things your organization can do to assist in making the program a success for all. Post information regarding Sprint Verification on your Website and encourage your credit unions to do the same (Sample: http://www.lovemycreditunion.org/IIA-Application-961.html) Send your credit unions emails regarding verification and remind them of what they can do to help their members continue to receive the benefits of this program Continue to grow your state(s) credit union participation Follow up on credit union inquiries/needs: I will be sending these directly to the leagues/LSCs for assistance Encourage Credit Unions to keep Sprint on their members’ minds Encourage 2012 – 2013 Contract Year renewals

14 14 To ensure the continued integrity of this program, members must periodically provide documentation to verify credit union membership = eligibility of the program discount.
