Donations

Making donations to worthy causes can generate a lot of publicity, along with building your image as a business with a heart and that cares.

This is important as people purchase from businesses they like.

Whether people like you or not is actually far more important to them than who has the lowest price, or even over convenience! Sometimes even more than quality.

When you help people, when you make a generous or even a token donation, you are enhancing that positive image factor that makes someone choose you over a competitor.

Making a donation is also a great reason for submitting a press release, as this can get you free coverage in the press.

Free press coverage is far more effective than paid advertising, sometimes as much as by 2,000%

When you help other people with donations, good things happen for your business!
