SmartyPig For Your Stocking

It's projected that consumer spending will be down - way down - over the holidays. With unemployment up and credit card companies decreasing lines of credit it's easy to understand why. There is uncertainty carried on the cool winds of autumn. Winter, many believe, will be crueler than ever. And while there are no bigger cheerleaders for a brighter tomorrow than the folks here at SmartyPig, let's face it. This is not the time for splurging.

Of course, many, if not most of us will still purchase gifts this holiday season. Obviously, the holidays are a time for putting our troubles aside and focusing on the good things in life. But in these times, why not give a gift that can help give someone you know and love a leg up, a chance for a dream to come true or just a crash course in how to handle money? SmartyPig gift cards help you Give the Gift of Saving. If ever people needed a sound financial tool in their stocking it is now.

Know someone who needs to get on the right track? Have a family member who is in dire need of a vacation and just needs a nudge to start saving for it? Need to inspire and educate your employees about how to get to the light at the end of the tunnel - and a canned ham just won't do the trick? SmartyPig Gift Cards can be your saving grace. You give. They learn the basics of creating a goal, saving for it and earning interest, as well as a head start -instead of the fruitcake. Now that's a gift that will keep on giving and giving and giving.
