20 Aug Donations and Prizes

Everyone loves to win, and it doesn't take much to make people feel special.
 
However, there are things to consider before making a donation:

• What is the cost (or opportunity cost) vs. ROI?
• Is this supporting something I believe in?
• Will this item bring value later on or is there more value in making a donation now?
• Can the business afford to make a donation right now?

 
 
When you do make a donation:

• You get extra exposure
• You build up good will with both current and future customers
• You create new customers if the donation is your product or service

 
 
If you have leftover swag or items that are no longer needed, donating them is a great option. We use the donations for:

• Prizes for program participants,
• Thursday 'Thank You' events or 'Daily Deals',
• Drawings! This is a GREAT way to boost attendance and participation in your Adventure. Holding a drawing for everyone who attends your Adventure mini-class or for everyone who completes an at-home Adventure can be very effective.

 
When someone wins your donation, it is announced across the 4 social media platforms we use. This gives you added exposure to thousands of people for every donation you make.
 
In other words, for the cost of a simple donation, you get exposure equal to advertising options that would cost $200-$300!
