Facebook Ads Case Study – CUA Balance Transfer Campaign
Check out how a PPC agency tackles a balance transfer campaign created for a credit union.
Executive Summary:
Credit Union of America wanted to run a promotion where new and existing credit union members received 1.9% on all balance transfers for 12 months after the transfer date. The promotion also included a low 1% balance transfer fee. The campaign’s overall goal was $1M in transfers by the end of the campaign, which ran from September 1- October 31. Additionally, we had a goal conversion cost of $60 and a goal of 50 conversions total/month.
CUA asked us for engaging content to boost those transfers. With this in mind, a large part of our marketing strategy was focused on crafting fresh graphic art and original storytelling for Facebook ads. In addition to those ads, we also created an email series with similar messaging and a collection of print media, such as half-page ads, that were served to all audiences.

- Bring an element of storytelling into the advertisements while still focusing on fun activities that families and friends can do together all thanks to the Credit Union of America’s Give Back card the convenient balance transfer promotion. Final headlines based on that idea included:

- “More adventures. Fewer worries.”
- “Focus on family, not debt.”
- “Pay your cards off quicker with a 1.90% APR* balance transfer.”
