Nebraska Bank of Commerce Free Checking Newspaper Ad
This page-dominant ad for free checking being offered by the Nebraska Bank of Commerce appeared in the January 15, 2012 edition of the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper. The downside to this free checking ad is that it contains what could be mistaken as three competing headlines. The key point to be made with this ad is that “NBC Still Offers Free Checking.” At least this bank, unlike so many today, continues using the name “Free Checking Account” versus less impactful names like Value Checking and Regular Checking. One would hope that more banks and credit unions would spend marketing dollars promoting Free Checking online, in the newspaper, in outdoor, and using radio spots.
Ally Bank Ad Offers Free Checking Without Mentioning Free Checking
Talk about confusing the consumer. Ally Bank offers a free checking account that pays interest – yes, pays interest. The problem is that it failed to name its account Ally Free Checking. Yet, we see in this magazine ad in the February 24, 2012 issue of The Week magazine, Ally manages to use the powerful marketing word “Free” in the headline. Why not simply call it Free Checking or Ally Bank Free Checking or Ally Free Checking? What would possess a bank to offer free checking while naming it something else?
