Hopefully You Didn’t Get This Bank’s Cheap Gifts

By Jeffry Pilcher

The bank’s holiday-themed campaign offered cheapskate gift ideas to mall shoppers in three states: Colorado, California and Arizona. People were encouraged to take pictures of the bank’s posters with their cell phones, then print the images out at home to make ultra-cheap holiday gifts.

The tongue-in-cheek brand awareness and image campaign bears the theme, "We’re here to help you save."

Earlier this year, First Bank ran a campaign about "Secure Online Banking."

FirstBank is Colorado’s largest locally-owned bank, with assets of $8 billion and additional locations in California and Arizona.
