"Communicating to participants is not a one-size-fits-all proposition," said Nordquist. "We want to reach people through their most common communication channels. Today, that includes social media. An additional benefit of social media is that we have an opportunity to educate beyond just the participants of retirement plans we administer. We can reach the general public through Twitter, Facebook, our blogs, and our webinars."
On Twitter alone, the Wells Fargo campaign resulted in more than 535,000 total impressions, with each tweet yielding between 15,000 and 30,000 impressions.
Wells Fargo just started using Facebook and its first two posts were viewed more than 60,000 times each for nearly 130,000 total impressions.
The organization plans to market its upcoming Women Saving webinar on Facebook and Twitter and will continue to use social media in 2013.
