I‘ve written before about creating a “product” to sell corporate donors, who live in a paradigm of “buying and selling” as opposed to “sponsoring”.
Fred Thompson, President of Public Relations, at Creative Partners posted this 60-second video on “Cause-Related Marketing”.
He makes three major points:
- Cause-related marketing is when a company attaches their product or service to a cause that benefits the greater good.
- Consumers love it when they can buy a product or service that supports a cause they believe in.
- Employees love to work for an organization that they believe is doing good things for the greater community.
This third point relates directly to employee retention and talent acquisition which I covered in my post titled “3 Instant Product Ideas for Non-Profits“.
