  • The Future of Branches – Jeffry Pilcher hits it out the park with this slide show, which is filled with lots of eye and mind candy. Rather than calling for futuristic branch design or technology for it’s own sake, the presentation implores banks and credit unions to change their idea of how a branch should work and why customers should visit.

Which makes us wonder: What other anomalies do marketers encounter as they try to extend business models across countries and ethnic groups?
    • What Target Learned from Channel Red: 18 Tips from Mark Bennett – Christie Liu at Digital Signage Insider was apparently taking good notes when Mark Bennett Target’s executive producer and group manager for media production spoke at the Content Strategies Summit.

The bank hopes to use RFID to identify customers as they enter the new branch, which YES describes as a “Service Oriented Advisory Center.” See also: YES Bank to identify you at the door
