Build Relationships and Strengthen Brand Loyalty

Consumers in rural markets offer a unique opportunity for banks, credit unions and financial institutions to grow services & acquire new clients. 

Did you know?

  • Together, unbanked and underbanked consumers represent 68 million individuals and 34 million households, concentrated heavily in the South.
  • Rural markets include high concentrations of sub-prime consumers who are looking for financing to pursue home ownership or purchase a new car.

To build relationships with these consumers, financial institutions must understand how media influences their purchase decisions to create an effective strategy to acquire new clients. Mspark has established relationships in Rural America where there’s a significant opportunity for growth.
