The founders of #GivingTuesday say it best, “We have a day for giving thanks. We have two days for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back.”
It’s simple! On Tuesday, December 1, donate to your favorite cause or charity. Then post about giving on social media, informing others of your choice and encouraging them to participate in their own way. Since its inception in 2012, #GivingTuesday has contributed to a 470% increase in online donations on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving! Join the movement and be a part of this global generosity celebration!
SnapRetail was first introduced to #GivingTuesday through our subscriber, Jill Romano-Epple, Director of Marketing and Development at Marine Mammals Stranding Center.
We’re promoting #GivingTuesday on all of our social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), as well as our website and sending emails via SnapRetail. I am also approaching local businesses to see if they can donate a percent of sales for that day.With organizations like ours (smaller non-profits that do not receive state or federal funding,) days like this can make a big difference. This allows people to donate any amount from anywhere!
#GivingTuesday has acquired over 15.4 BILLION global impressions in print and social media and SnapRetail has tools to help you maximize your online donation campaign! We’ve added new social posts, images and templates to our libraries.
It’s no secret that small businesses give back to the community in a big way, but highlight that fact this season with a #GivingTuesday campaign of your own.
