Title: Retail Assistant Branch Supervisor
Financial Institution: Trius Federal Credit Union
Location/Store Name: Trius Federal Credit Union—Walmart Branch
Store Location: Kearney, Nebraska
Slogan: Save small, dream big! (Credit Union Youth Month Activity)
Budget: Under $25
Branch Goal: Our goal was for each teller to refer or open 5-8 new Kids Club Savings Accounts during this time period.
Actual Results: We were able to open roughly 8 new Kids Club accounts.
Decorations Plan: We decorated for spring and Easter
We did an Easter egg hunt within Walmart during this time. We had foam eggs with a message and our logo on them that we hid in many different departments within Walmart. When a person found an egg, they came to the front of the store to tell our tellers where they found the egg. They were then able to pick between a Trius chip clip, sticker, bottle opener, or a piece of candy. This was a huge success!! In addition, our tellers did aisle walks as well.
For our Kids Club Saturday event during this time, we had live chicks and bunnies at our Main branch location on one day, and then on a different day we had baby chicks at our Walmart branch. People also loved this a lot!
