Create a mutually beneficial partnership between nonprofit and for–profit enterprises
Cause marketing creates a partnership with benefits for both a nonprofit entity and a business.

- Explains online tools such as Quick Response Codes, services like Causon and The Point, and location marketing services including Foursquare, Whrrl, and Gowalla
- Features case studies that illustrate successful campaign techniques
Cause Marketing For Dummies helps both businesses and nonprofits reap the benefits of effective cause marketing.

Cause Marketing for Smarties
7 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
Let me just say that until I read this book, I had NO IDEA how to do Cause Marketing, despite being involved in fundraising for over seven years. It was a combination of 'Cause marketing=pink breast cancer flavored chicken + yuck" and "But we could NEVER do that, we don't have the money/staff/time/insert excuse here" when the REAL reason was, "I don't know how to do this, and I'm scared."
After reading this book, doing a cause marketing campaign for my nonprofit actually seems realistic. It seems... do-able. I think the title should really read: "Cause Marketing for Smarties" because there are some complicated concepts introduced in this very readable book, and some advanced case studies too.
I learned about Pinups, those things you might see in the coffeeshop, donut shop, or grocery store. I learned how easy they are to make, and this will probably be where I start when I start our cause marketing campaign.
I also learned that when you're doing your first cause marketing campaign, some people start with coin jars. One of the pieces of this is that it's easy to walk off with the coin jars, so you need to have a way to tether them to the cashier stand. And it's better to put them in a place where people are regularly using cash. So if they're at the supermarket and not using cash, this wouldn't work, but maybe a festival or a food cart would be better.
These are just TWO of the many "a-HA" moments I had as I read this book. I'm sure it will pay for itself many times over.

Learn from the best cause marketers anywhere
8 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
Authors Joe and Joanna know their stuff from a decade of hard work in the trenches and convey it in a meaningful, effective and entertaining way. I took their cause marketing class as well and was so impressed with what I learned, even with a few years of experience already under my belt. They are just that good - their knowledge is deep and their creativity is proven. I highly recommend the book and the class they offer. It is time and money very well spent!

The book to read when you don't know where to start.
10 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A membership organization that I belong to through work, recently formed a media/development work group. At our kick off meeting, it quickly became evident that there were huge differences in knowledge and experiences around media and development work. All of us want to learn more, but where to start? This book is the place to start. For many of the non-profits that are part of this group, there are not enough people on staff who have the time and resources to really think about an organizations image, its partners and how to use social media effectively. Cause Marketing for Dummies provides clear, concise, realistic tips to help organizations reevaluate how media can be used to build ones image, partnerships and the bottom line. The case studies highlight many levels of marketing - coupons, triggered donation programs, group-buying sites and location-based marketing and stress the importance of Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and other social media options. Do you know what a hashtag is? If not, this book will teach you what it is and how one non-profit's hashtag helped it to raise awareness and $25,000 in one day. Want to know what a QR code is and how to use one? This book will tell you what it is and how it can help to make interactions with customers, clients, patients....more meaningful. Isn't that what we all want to do?
