Knowing CU History Pays!

Ferndale, Michigan – Credit Union ONE has found a very creative way to engage their Facebook fans and take the opportunity to celebrate their 75th Anniversary at the same time.

As they kicked off their 75th Year, Credit Union ONE launched the Mystery History Hunt. From February 25th through March 15th fans of the Credit Union ONE Facebook page were able to hunt for answers to posted clues relating to the 75 year history of the credit union. Clues were posted three times a week, and those who successfully submitted their answers were entered into a drawing for gift cards, valued at up to $60 each. One winner was selected for each clue, for a total of nine possible winners

Some of the winners posted how happy they were to be chosen as winners and how they planned to use their gift cards.

Post statistics show that this promotion was well received, with 115 new fans joining and 142 entries received. Three fans even submitted answers to all nine clues!
