Freedom Credit Union Partners with Builder's Discount Center on Loan Promotion

Rocky Mount based Freedom Credit Union is promoting its unique home equity credit line product by working together with a fellow Chamber member, Builder's Discount Center.

“We have a low, fixed rate home equity product,” commented Clint Williams, Director of Membership Development, “but home equities are not the most exciting things to promote. Our CEO, Jeff Jones, suggested we be creative with our oversized lobby space in our Winstead Avenue branch – and that's what we've done. We normally have a local auto dealer of the month in the lobby with a car – this time we talked with Builder's Discount Center.”

Builder's Discount Center is the only home-improvement retailer that is a member of the Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce – and with the idea of generating a local-business partnership – they were a natural to get space in Freedom's lobby.

“We weren't sure what we would put in there,” says Glenn Perry, President of Builder's Discount Center, “but after seeing their space – which is large – we got creative. Hopefully we've put something in there that helps visualize the many things you can accomplish with your home – which can be very affordable with Freedom's fixed rate home equity loans.”

Chamber CEO, Eddie Baysden, was delighted to hear the news about the fellow members working together: “This is the kind of positive business we have developing in Rocky Mount. More and more partnerships like this are what Rocky Mount needs to see and hear about. Kudos.”

Builder's Discount Center is an eleven-store operation, headquartered in Rocky Mount. BDC has been providing first quality building materials for more than 20 years and specializes in a drive-in, check-out and drive-out facilities for building and home improvement supplies. BDC is located on U.S. 301 next to Don's Body Shop.
