April 11, 2008 • Posted by Jon Gaskell\’Great Buzz\’ About SmartyPig
Four weeks after going live, we are feeling what one member of the media called \”great buzz\”. People are talking about SmartyPig. And, better yet, people are creating accounts on SmartyPig, setting up goals, inviting friends and family to help them along, and those people are setting up accounts, too… and telling others. Many others. Hence the buzz. This morning, we were excited to see the interview we have embedded here on WallStreetJournal.com.
We were likewise ecstatic to be featured on American Public Media\’s NPR featured program \”Future Tense\” which showcases the latest technology topics in daily five-minute capsules. \”Future Tense\” is heard in the United States during broadcasts of the CBC\’s \”As it Happens. \” Have a listen below: RealAudio – MP3 – iTunes

Here\’s SmartyPig!
We are extremely excited to introduce what we feel to be the most innovative, educational and rewarding way to save – ever. We call it \”Simple, Smart, Savings.\” We\’re pretty sure you\’ll feel the same way. See, SmartyPig is not only a snap to use and is as secure as any other bank, SmartyPig will help you get more for your savings dollar than you ever thought possible.
In these scary economic times when credit card debt is skyrocketing, we feel the best way to help reverse the trend is to go back to the way things used to be. In our demo we ask the question, \”Remember when you were a kid, and in order to buy something you had to save up?\” In a nutshell, that is the idea behind SmartyPig. We want to help you get back on track. Phase out those credit cards. Set goals. Sensibly save up for them. Go back to the way it used to be… And be rewarded like never before for doing so.
We aren\’t suggesting you leave your current bank or to stop saving for the things you are already saving for like retirement or your kids\’ education or even your emergency fund. We just want to offer you a way to stop and smell the roses. You can start saving today for the holidays or a family vacation or a kitchen remodel without the worry of looming credit card debt – the kind that takes someone paying the minimum monthly amount on $1,000 more than 20 years to pay off.
So please explore the site, open an account, and if you find the experience to be rewarding, tell your friends and family members. For specific savings goals, we truly believe you\’ll find SmartyPig to be the most rewarding way to go.
Feel free to contact us at anytime. And please enjoy the experience of Simple, Smart Savings.
Thanks.
