Cause-Related Marketing: Do Some Good and Grow Your Business

Vicarious Productions, Inc. has always been a strong proponent of businesses teaming up with non-profit organizations, and supporting other causes that need exposure and fundraising dollars. We call it Cause Related Marketing and explain in more detail here.

The obvious benefits to this approach in giving your business a marketing boost are many. You are aligning your business [from a public relations standpoint] with a positive cause, while endearing it to individuals who support the cause you are teaming up with.

Culvers of Palatine recently supported an organization that provides support for those suffering from Muscular Dystrophy, a solid example of Cause-Related Marketing.

Intertwined with your association, be smart about how you represent your business through this relationship. Consider creating marketing pieces that can be handed out to individuals who attend an event or fundraiser associated with the Cause-Related partnership. When and if the time comes these people are in need of your products or services, chances are they will consider you more strongly due to your affiliation with a cause they support.

Finally, and most importantly, you are using your business to benefit a cause bigger than yourself. That's certainly worth mentioning, as all of us should do what we can to give back whenever in a position to do so.

In our experiences, if done altruistically, these efforts will come around to help you in some way, shape or form.
