Quantum Credit Union and The Clayworks at Disability Supports
upgrade existing Watchfire displays to support updated branding and
increase community engagement.
DANVILLE, Ill., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Two Kansas-based businesses, Quantum Credit Union,
in Wichita, and The Clayworks
at Disability Supports, in Hutchinson, recently installed Watchfire
digital displays to modernize their brand image and improve
community interactions.
"We see the Watchfire display as a worthy
investment that will continue to benefit the community, the
artists, and our mission for years to come." Rick Staab, president and CEO of Disability
Supports of the Great Plains
Credit Union Blends Tradition with Technology
Quantum Credit Union originally served Kansas telephone workers and electrical
operators and has since broadened its membership to include the
community. To support that expansion and to reach a more tech-savvy
audience, the credit union invested in an eye-catching 6mm, 10'3" x
6'5" Watchfire digital display.
"Updating our previous digital display with a more advanced and
visually attractive Watchfire model has been an incredibly positive
experience and reinforces our brand—committed to staying current
and connected to the needs of our community," said Jacob Burrow, vice president of Quantum Credit
Union. "The advanced resolution and programming allow our team to
easily maintain brand consistency, highlight organizational and
community initiatives, and target our messaging to connect with
members in our growing community."
Quantum recently launched a debit card partnership program
supporting the Kansas Humane Society, using the Watchfire display
to bring this initiative to life with dynamic imagery. The program
has increased the visibility of the Humane Society and strengthened
community ties.
"This initiative aligns with a component of our mission –
Empowering Communities," said Burrow. "We have a great relationship
with the Kansas Humane Society. Our Market Development Manager,
Zach Shoffner, 'adopts' a pet for a
day and brings them into the branch or to other local businesses.
Our employees and community members love it! It brightens
everyone's day and reinforces our commitment to community service.
The Watchfire display is key in spreading awareness and improving
our community connections."
The Clayworks: A Beacon for Disability Support
The Clayworks at Disability Supports is a non-profit
organization that has been providing a full range of services to
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for
almost 30 years. Located in a high-traffic area of Hutchinson, The Clayworks replaced its
existing 10mm Watchfire display with a state-of-the-art 6mm, 4'5" x
8'3" Watchfire digital display to promote its facility as a
community gathering place that is welcoming, supportive, and
provides an opportunity to support its disabled citizens.
The Clayworks is a multi-use building that primarily serves to
enable disabled citizens to create artwork they can sell nationally
through the on-site gift shop, promoting confidence and
self-sufficiency. This beautifully renovated space, which
originally served as a medical clinic, also brings community
members together by featuring a retail coffee shop, a culinary arts
demonstration kitchen, collaborative meeting spaces, and an outdoor
garden and basketball court.
"Our mission to create a higher standard of care for people with
intellectual disabilities is well represented through the Watchfire
display," said Rick Staab, president
and CEO of Disability Supports of the Great Plains. "The display
serves as a real touchstone in the community. We showcase students'
artwork, invite community members to enjoy our amenities, and share
timely messages that promote local events and organizations. We see
the Watchfire display as a worthy investment that will continue to
benefit the community, the artists, and our mission for years to
come."
Long-Standing Partnership with Luminous Neon
Signs for both sites - upgrades of previous Watchfire displays -
were acquired in partnership with Kansas-based sign company Luminous Neon, Inc.
Tom Sellers, CEO of Luminous Neon,
cites Watchfire's quality products, customer service, and sales
support, as the key factors in their nearly 20-year
relationship.
