Engagement Activity
Educational Campaign Details
In order to engage participants, the following activities were conducted by Boulevard R to launch the Empower Your Finances campaign:
Activity Date

Five Empower Your Finances iPad workshops to launch the program Email Campaign #1: Sent introductory email with activation link emailed to every Company 1 employee who did not attend a workshop

April 3, 2013 from 11am-2pm April 16, 2013 at 2:30pm PT

Email Campaign #1: Sent reminder email with activation link April 19, 2013 at 10:15am PT emailed to every Company 1 who had not yet created an account

Areas for Improvement


Based on employee feedback forms, the launch with the iPad workshops can be improved in the following three ways: 1. Give employees the big picture of the overall program and what will be happening after they complete this rst step of creating their account and getting their Starter Roadmap 2. For those employees who sign up for a workshop in advance, send them a reminder to bring their provider log in information and some basic nancial information (eg. approximately how much they save per month) 3. Create a sign up form for employees to reserve a time to meet with a representative from the nancial advisor rm
