Beacon FCU definitely has a new breed when it comes to the idea of having a credit union “spokester.” Beacon’s newest credit union spokesperson is none other than the fabulous and adorable Harley Gayle. Harley Gayle rides Harley motorcycles with her owners. She has appeared in several newspapers and magazines including the Houston Chronicle. Gayle (one of the owners) is the branch manager at the Baytown BFCU office.
I spotted Harley at
Beacon FCU’s second annual "BeaconFest". The annual event is an appreciation event for Beacon’s members. The credit union offered fun and games for the kids, hotdogs, a live DJ, a giant shred machine, and photo-ops with Harley Gayle. A
lthough, there was a cash-grab machine, jumpees, and slides, the hottest item there was Harley Gayle. There was a line just to get a picture with the infamous motorcycle riding Chihuahua. She was in full Beacon gear with a Beacon t-shirt, pink riding helmet, and riding goggles. By the end of Harley's celebrity appearance she was ready for her ride home. Gayle stated, "Harley gets excited as soon as she hears the roar of a hog."
This was Beacon’s 2nd Annual celebration of members; a free event to all BFCU members and their families. The community was also invited to attend. An estimated 200 people attended the event this year.
I have heard from an "inside source" Harley plans to make another appearance when Santa visits the credit union. I wonder who the kids will be more excited to see, Harley or Santa? Kudos to
Beacon FCU for thinking outside the species!

Great marketing!
