Participants encouraged to share financial tips and tricks for a chance to win a free mortgage payment
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingTree, the nation's leading online mortgage network, has launched a contest to celebrate real-life financial role models across the country. The LendingTree Home CFO Contest invites Home CFOs, defined as the person who manages both small and large family financial decisions, to share their best tips and tricks for managing household finances. The best submissions will be awarded a free mortgage payment and named as the LendingTree Home CFO.
Participants can submit their stories and financial tips via the LendingTree Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lendingtree) from now until July 31, 2011. Each month one lucky participant will be named The LendingTree Home CFO and will be awarded a free month's mortgage or rent payment. Submissions will be judged based on originality, creativity, and relevance.
"The LendingTree Home CFO Contest gives us an opportunity to celebrate and be inspired by the financial savvy of Americans," said Mona Marimow, Senior Vice President of Marketing at LendingTree. "While many financial services companies use a celebrity financial spokesperson, we wanted to take a different approach and find real consumers who are taking control of their financial lives. There are millions of everyday financial gurus who deserve recognition. We want to share their tips and tricks with our community and recognize the 'Home CFOs' that are successfully juggling their household finances, in addition to managing a family or a demanding career."
The savings tips will be showcased on the LendingTree Facebook page, Twitter, and on the company blog. "We hope these tips and advice will serve as an inspiration for anyone struggling with financial decisions and will inspire them to take the action needed to win," said Marimow.
