Cause Marke*ng Online Since 1998
Nearly 12 million Care2 members are making a difference by:
• Taking Ac5on
• Volunteering • Dona5ng
• Telling friends
• Sharing news
• And much more…
~$1.6 billion will have been spent on cause marke*ng campaigns in 2009
Why Cause Marke*ng Works
• Brands win by appealing to the social and environmental values of Conscious Consumers
• Nonprofits win from the funding, exposure and marke5ng exper5se of the Brand
• Consumers win through feeling good about suppor5ng brands and causes with liGle or no extra money from their pocket
Produc*ve Cause Marke*ng Campaigns
• Target exis5ng networks of consumers with a need you fulfill
• Fulfill a need of the consumer in the stream of their current online behavior (hint: your website probably doesn’t maGer so much)
• Leverage a partnership with a brand or nonprofit that has a similar cons5tuent or customer and a large network
Five Quick Mantras for Messaging
• Place the Consumer at the center of the story – he/she is the hero
• Fulfill the Consumer’s need to make a difference ‐Make people feel good – it’s not about your org, it’s about the consumer’s needs you’re fulfilling
• Be Specific, local and 5mely beats general • Make it Personal and conversa5onal – one‐to‐one, not one‐to‐many
• What happens next? Don’t distract ‐ One ac5on at a 5me ‐ always have another reason to reach out again and keep the story going
Consumer is the Hero
Make People Feel Good
Keep it Personal
Fulfill the Consumer’s Needs
Specific, Timely, Local
