Marsala Beverage
Damon: Billy has on his red Budweiser tie today.
Billy: Yeah. Cheers.
Damon: Cheers, Dilly Dilly.
Billy: I don't know that I've ever had a Budweiser at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Damon: It's only nine-something, now, so you're ok.
Billy: You're one of the premier customers in Monroe, Louisiana, and every bank in town was trying to get your business, but we were fortunate to get it and it's been a great relationship, since.
Damon: Yeah, it has, for sure. You have to just grow your share to grow, a lot of times. You got to have a lot of good banking connections, too, to do that.
Billy: All through the community we do a lot of things together. That's really our common bond.
Damon: Part of our value statement is supporting the communities where we do business. It's definitely something that Marsala Beverage and Origin Bank have in common. We have a product that, fortunately, we can better an event, better a fundraiser, and at the same time, let someone sample. And there's no better way of marketing than being able to hand it to someone and say, "Try this and see if you like it." It's a win-win for us.
Billy: As Origin Bank grows and as Marsala Beverage grows, we don't want to ever lose that community connection. The point about the Origin Bank, though, we want to stay local. We want local bankers to have that relationship.
Damon: Origin to be the size they are, they still feel like a family, too.
Billy: That's what we want our customers to feel like; they're part of our family, part of the Origin Bank family.
Damon: I don't know. I feel more like I'm an employee there, I just walk in and go where I need to go and people are like, "Hey, how's it going?" Things that we've seen as being able to get to them, the accessibility. I mean, not just saying, "Hey, I'm here if you need me," but proving that. You know, that builds trust. I think that's how they are with a lot of their clients, and that means a lot. I mean, that's very comforting. ♪ [music] ♪
