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… 

Page 60: Getting the Message Right for the New Consumer/Donor (Care2 - BBMG)

~$1.6 billion will have been spent on cause marke*ng campaigns in 2009 

Page 61: Getting the Message Right for the New Consumer/Donor (Care2 - BBMG)

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 

Page 62: Getting the Message Right for the New Consumer/Donor (Care2 - BBMG)

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 

Page 63: Getting the Message Right for the New Consumer/Donor (Care2 - BBMG)

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
