Our Northland Appleton branch held an after-hours tailgate party on May 9.

The event was a chance to strengthen our relationships with current customers. Guests enjoyed brats from Festival Foods and cookies from Great Harvest Bread Company, and got to sample beer and wine. Service bankers and CSRs greeted guests as they arrived, and helped them sign up for a chance to win prizes like tickets to Milwaukee Brewers and Timber Rattlers baseball games.

From there, guests could move on to different stations to speak with other bank employees, and got extra chances to win prizes for doing so. It was a great way to let customers know about ways North Shore Bank could help them that they might not have been familiar with. This setup got guests involved, and the casual atmosphere and food made it easy for them to talk with employees. The customers seemed to enjoy the “treasure hunt” aspect of the event, getting extra chances at prizes by meeting different employees.
