We actually did something like this all the way back in 2016! We took over Old St station for a week with posters, had adverts in local shops and had staff handing out cards at the station.
We actually found that it wasnāt a particularly good use of money. It didnāt convert into a great deal of new signups compared to what it cost. It was fun though
Iād suggest that you have some sort of āeventā in places like Glasgow Central station. The amount of people up here that arenāt clued up about anything that doesnāt have āScottishā in its name astounds meā¦
Iād also target places like Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and other big University cities where the under 30 crowd are more likely to take an interest.
Iād recommend doing this in Scotland ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ For anyone who seems hesitant and say they donāt trust technology Iād be asking, so would you trust RBS instead? It can be used to also promote the Community Forum.
As a geordie living in Scotland for the past 12 years I find most of the locals where I live are either a) stuck in their ways or b) just plain scared of changeā¦
Iām surprised at how many young people at my worke (early 20ās) donāt want to change banks. Yet, they moan when there skint and say they donāt know where all their money has gone.
Itās that fear of the unknown, and banking is so important. Better the devil you know mentality.
Economic options are endless and if youāre not prepared or confident to assess all options itās easier not to change
Iām feeling insightful tonight, it might not last long
