Big Bank Epiphany: Adding New Fees May Be Bad For Business
Could 2013 be when big bank customers finally get some relief from the onslaught of fees they’ve weathered in recent years? According to some bank industry analysts, the answer is a qualified yes. Fees aren’t going away entirely, and the experts say penalty fees in particular will continue to creep higher, but a new regulatory climate in Washington has put banks on notice that piling on costs is not the best way to do business. “The whole landscape changed after the election,” says Ken Thomas, an independent bank consultant and economist.

But in the long run, “Sesame Street’s” brand is likely to survive intact. Few brands can match the reach of a show like “Sesame Street.” Three generations of Americans have grown up with the kids’ show, and the series and its characters – from Big Bird to Cookie Monster to Oscar the Grouch – are beloved throughout the country. (MORE: Black Friday: Fast and Frenzied) “There are very few brands that are ‘motherhood brands,’” says branding expert Rob Frankel, describing a type of brand that “can’t be attacked because it’s 100% goodness. … They essentially can do no wrong.
