The rest use a combination of pages, containers, and sites, these same companies limit their use and showcasing of their digital and social properties. All but 2 show their digital and social properties in their footers on all pages, only one shows more than the standard Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels and only one allows viewers to share the content on their site with social outlets. One uses their blog to showcase multiple Facebook, twitter, YouTube, and blogs with, so their main blog becomes their community page. Overall there is no common use of these pages by FI’s. Community Pages Report.docx 1 March 14, 2013 Introduction: A community page is a page on a company’s main web site that is dedicated to the housing and explanation of a company’s social media and digital properties. The concept behind the page is to allow a viewer to see, in one place, all of a company’s digital properties, understand how they fit together, and then give them some context for why they exist. It has the added benefit of allowing a company’s main web site the ability to reap some of the SEO weight they may yield and also helps to combat questions about phishing schemes. This report was written to give some insight into how other FI’s are using these community pages. Initial Findings: 1. USAA — Yes they have a community page USAA is the only FI that uses a designated Community Page to organize its social properties with. It has several digital properties (blogs, bulletin boards, social media) and all of them are easy to get to via a bar of links located at the foot of every page. 2. Wells Fargo — Kind of a community page Wells Fargo groups all of their social properties on their blog and nowhere else not even in their footer, this then makes their main blog page a kind of community page. 3. Bank of America — No community page Bank of America has limited availability to their social properties and they are only accessed via their About Us page. They have no blog and they are very limited in the their use of social media. 4. PNC — A community page that is indirectly one PNC uses social everywhere but they don’t have a blog they do however have a Digital Center page that has stories social access and videos as well as access to their social properties. 5. America Express — No community page – as of right now American Express uses more than the standard 3 social properties, they feature them in their footer on their contact us page and they sprinkle them throughout their site if and where it makes sense. They have a blog yet none of it is centrally located anywhere as a group. Amex’ blog, Open Forum, is launching a new Open Forum Community and its by invitation only and is in beta at this time. Recommendation: Since the military community has embraced social media in a very profound way and since it works well with our culture NFCU should create a page to showcase our properties and make them easily accessed and understood. Since NFCU will in all likelihood continue to develop more digital properties, a place where they can be grouped and showcased will be needed. Community Pages Report.docx 2 March 14, 2013 USAA Community Page: USAA Has a very organized page for their community, titled: USAA Community Hub it houses all of their blogs, social channels, and other member outreach tools. USAA Has 4 blogs and they use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Odd thing is they list the number of Facebook and Twitter likes and followers but they haven’t updated the counts on the Hub in over a year. USAA puts Social Media icons on all of its pages by means of the footer; they also show their blogs in a band on the bottom of all their pages above the legalese. USAA also uses their blogs, social channels, and RSS feeds in areas around their site separate from the footer when and where it makes sense. Community Pages Report.docx 3 March 14, 2013 Bank of America Community Page: Bank of America doesn’t have a community page; they do not put social icons on the home page. They do not use the social icons throughout their site or in the footer. Their About Us page is where there are community connections and the use of social media icons. Bank of America has no blog and only uses Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, their community outreach advertising is limited to very specific sections of the site with the greatest concentration on their About us page. They do not list their social media in their footer on the main site, they put it in the footer on very select pages. Community Pages Report.docx 4 March 14, 2013 Well Fargo Community Page: Wells uses their About Us page to link you to their social media, blogs and community outreach. All of the blogs and social media are accessible from this page via a link; Facebook is broken out as a separate link. Twitter and YouTube are only assessable from the main blog page. When you go to their blog site you will be able to see that Wells has multiple blogs, twitter accounts, YouTube accounts, and Facebook accounts. They do not use the social media icons on the site or in the footers. Community Pages Report.docx 5 March 14, 2013 PNC Community Page: PNC doesn’t have a Community page; they do have a Digital Center in their Media Room (PR). They do have social icons scattered about the entire site with links to their properties as well as to share info via social channels. PNC does not have a blog but they do offer posts content, pictures, videos, and press releases via this outlet. PNC also offers access to their social channels via their About PNC page on their web site. Community Pages Report.docx 6 March 14, 2013 American Express: American Express uses more than just the mainstream social channels and they have a blog. They do not have a community page that is on the main site; they do however have all of their social media channels represented on their blog Amex is also advertising on their blog the availability of an Open Forum Community by invitation only.
