We recently had the opportunity in my finance class to do something different.  It was our job to create a marketing campaign advertising the Internet as a financial tool.  Specifically, it was to advertise that you can get financial services online and how to go about getting them.

We were split up into groups of five and sent out to work on this task.  Our group ended up in a conference room and began to brainstorm.  We came up with a couple of tasks that you could do online such as look for the best credit cards, and compare bank accounts.  We were gearing our presentation towards these topics when Michael brought up a good point: what about cheap car insurance? 

We realized he had stumbled on gold.  With the amount of advertising on television about going online to get car insurance, it was a no brainer.  Since this was the first meeting we all decided that we would get together once a week and use email to communicate with each other.  Seems like our group will work well together.  Till next week…
