Fans, Followers and Financial Literacy

BB_lunchandcoffeeApril is National Financial Literacy Month, a busy time for the Feed the Pig campaign.  Sponsored by the American Institute of CPAs, the campaign encourages 25 to 34 year olds to make small changes in their financial behavior in order to save. Feed the Pig utilizes new media easily accessible to, and widely used by, the target audience, including weekly e-savings tips, podcasts, text messages, widgets and Benjamin Bankes’ Facebook page and Twitter account.

In March, as an accompaniment to the Weekly Savings Tip, Feed the Pig introduced the FANtastic Friday Savings Tip*, a monthly e-tip composed of fan tip submissions via Facebook and Twitter. And the fans went wild! Not only are followers excited to share their personal success stories and tactics, but they’re actively interacting with each other, many now contributing on a regular basis.
