cause marketing

Description

Cause marketing is a 1.6 billion dollar industry and a cornerstone of many brand name companies, including Starbucks, Target and McDonald's and is now commanding the attention of smaller businesses. Is it good for your business? In this webinar, Joe Waters, the blogger at the web's #1 cause marketing blog, Selfishgiving.com, and the co-author of Cause Marketing for Dummies, will explain: • What cause marketing is and how it's dramatically different -- and more powerful -- than other forms of corporate giving. • Why cause marketing must be a key part of every company's marketing mix. • How to choose the right cause for your business. Hint: This is one decision where following your heart may lead you astray. • Simple, proven and effective targets that can help a cause -- and grow your business -- now! You'll leave the webinar with additional resources to continue your learning on cause marketing and to inspire you to do well and good.
