New Features On SmartyPig

Today we rolled out some new features on SmartyPig. We've heard from many of you over the past few months that you would like to be able to visualize your account goals, so we added a new section in your account called "Visualizer". You can now easily chart your goals and see a detailed breakout of your funds broken out by your deposits, gifts from others and interest paid. We believe this is just the beginning and are anxious to hear what you think.

We've also added a new "Features" page in the "About" section that will highlight new features as we roll them out in the future.

And lastly, many of you have suggested it would be nice to see when your next monthly contribution will be initiated. You can now locate this information in the goals detail section of your account.

In 1st quarter of 2009, we will be rolling out a new mobile application and we wanted to give you a sneak peek so here you go! And yes, very soon your SmartyPig account will integrate with sites like Mint, Geezeo, Wesabe, Rudder, Yodlee and more...

Thank you to everyone for making 2008 a terrific year at SmartyPig. We are looking forward to 2009 and with your help, suggestions and feedback, we will continue to improve upon what we believe is the simplest and most rewarding way to save.

SmartyPig Store Open For Business

The SmartyPig Store is open for business! Many of you have asked for t-shirts for yourself, your family, friends and kids, so we were anxious to get to work on a store that could provide top-quality apparel.

 

Rather than build the store from scratch, we set out to find the ideal partner. So in our quest for the perfect online store, we were fortunate to stumble upon Storenvy. It seemed like a perfect marriage of sorts. SmartyPig is all about social savings. And Storenvy promotes itself as the "Social Online Store Community". And we could not be more impressed with their site design and technology.

So please take a moment to checkout our store. Buy something if you like and help spread the word of SmartyPig and responsible savings! And please let us know if there is anything else you'd like to see in our store. Comments and feedback are always encouraged and appreciated.
