Engage Mutual launched the latest
version of engagemutual.com this week.
Featuring live opinion polls, latest consumer research and a range of
light hearted videos, the website aims to make conversations about money more engaging
and relevant to its customers.
Kids talk money and saving; seasoned sports pros
who now have a bit more cash in their pocket discuss what they used to do to
earn their own pocket money; and a family of cartoon mice aim to take the
mystery out of mutuality. These are just
a few of the video highlights that will be added to on a regular basis. The site
has been designed to offer relevant news and product information with sections
split by life stage into early years; family life; and over 50s.
Designed by Sheffield agency, Dig for Fire, the website is a key
strand in Engage Mutual’s further development as a digital organisation. Offering
friendly society tax exempt savings plans, child trust funds,
single premium investment bonds, health cash plans and over 50s life insurance,
Yorkshire-based Engage Mutual has seen its web business grow substantially over
the past two years.
Karl Elliott, Marketing Director at Engage Mutual said:
"With
more than 70% of customers coming to us via the internet or over the telephone,
finding relevant ways to develop our interaction with them is critical to our
growth as a business. The new website is
also a great platform to demonstrate and develop one of our key strengths -
that as a mutual organisation we are owned by, and run for, our customers."
