Local lender Metrobank kicked off the holiday season early with the its Happy Holideals promo on August 9 at One Ayala all in Makati City.
According to Metrobank chief marketing officer Digs Dimagiba, 76% of Filipinos tend to overspend in the last quarter of the year, leading to a “holiday hangover.” To address this, Metrobank suggests making financial resolutions as early as August to better manage holiday spending.
Thus, it introduced the GIFT campaign, which encourages people to:
G – Get ahead with your holiday goals;
I – Invest your bonus wisely;
F – Follow a budget plan;
T – Take advantage of opportunities to save.
“By making our holiday plans and budget before the biggest season for saving and spending, we can put them into action for a smoother holiday season that sets us up for a more stable financial start to the new year,” Dimagiba stated.
