Firstly, thank you for all of your replies to the previous idea, it really is greatly appreciated. It's not too late if you would like to respond to the Business Cards idea, as I will be giving each of these about 72 hours before publishing the results. If you would like to find a list of all the ideas that have been suggested during this series, you can head on over to Marketing Ideas Research Series. So, next up, let's discuss Donations!


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!

Right now, Chrystopher, sadly no on any donations yet. In less than a month I have to "donate" to the county the crippling property taxes that they levy on us! I do recognize the value of what you are saying though!
