id+ Program Wins National Marketing Award

The id+ program, which issues Penn State id+ Cards and administers the LionCash+ flexible spending program, won the 2006 award for “Best Marketing” from the National Association of Campus Card Users (NACCU). In addition to producing a newsletter and maintaining a Web site with information on campus card issues, the NACCU offers card industry employees a variety of networking and educational opportunities.

Several of the award-winning marketing pieces highlighted the LionCash+ program, which has helped facilitate partnerships between the University and businesses located near several Penn State campuses. The program allows all Penn State id+ cardholders to use their LionCash+ funds to make purchases at participating on- and off-campus locations—and has been particularly beneficial for participating businesses in the State College area. Since July 1, 2005, LionCash+ sales at participating State College businesses have exceeded $2.7 million—and several merchants have told the id+ Office that there has been an increase in sales since they started participating in the program. “We attribute our success to our fantastic marketing program and promotional materials,” says Cindy Kellerman, manager of the id+ program.

In addition to working with the Downtown State College Improvement District to promote businesses that accept LionCash+, the marketing team—with assistance from student interns—has run ads in the Daily Collegian. “We are always seeking ways to advocate the partnerships we have with participating businesses,” says Kellerman, adding that the next phase of the marketing plan is to raise program awareness among faculty and staff. “Some locations offer discounts or incentives to LionCash+ users,” she points out. “It is really an unknown benefit among faculty and staff.”
