Frequently Asked Questions
-
Lots of reasons!
Clients rave about the time they save. Whether an owner or a manager handles donations, that person’s time is better spent focusing on the core business.
Additionally, we handle follow-up, collect receipts, and generate content for your newsletters and social media. So rather than simply giving things away, we are building your business. All while doing good for the community.
-
Even if you only get 1-2 donation requests a week, our system is worth the investment.
At 1-2 requests a week, you’re getting 50-100 each year. Rather than have those buried in your inbox, we manage them all in one place. Those organizations have requested donations, but many of them would be thrilled to collaborate.
We help turn those requests into meaningful partnerships that introduce you to new customers, support local causes, and make a difference in your community.
We help you manage and maximize those opportunities. And with our pricing model, you only pay for what you use, so there’s no real risk for you.
-
Absolutely not.
We think our communities are stronger when people come together to support local businesses and nonprofits.
But we understand that businesses need to prioritize their own profitability and sustainability in order to do good. That’s what we aim to do. We help businesses save time and money, and create partnerships with nonprofits that are mutually beneficial.
Healthy and thriving businesses can do more in their communities, so we work every day to build up local businesses.
-
Our services integrate seamlessly with PR firms and bookkeepers.
We help you keep track of all donation requests, which provides great stories for your existing PR firm to share.
And your bookkeeper will be thankful that we’re on board, as our system automatically shares documentation and donation receipts with your bookkeeper every month.
-
We understand, and our pricing model is built with these concerns in mind.
Our software saves you and your managers a lot of time, well worth the low ($10/month) fee. Beyond that, you only pay for what you use. Most of our add-on services are revenue-generating, so you’ll only be incurring expenses when you’re bringing paying customers into your business.
-
We take a different approach to public relations, focusing on community impact. We focus on building community partnerships and meaningful relationships that lead to better customer loyalty. While we provide many of the standard PR services related to local and national media coverage, we think the best communications and public relations strategies for small businesses are the ones that connect directly to the local community.
With too many news organizations, blogs, influencers, and social media networks to count, we focus on cutting through the chaos, and building direct relationships with customers. Every business is different, so we customize a unique communications and marketing plan for every client.
