Get Involved In Your Community

How involved are you or your business in your local community?  Donate a little bit of your time each week, or month, or year to a local organization, charity, or your town – and it will go a long way for your business.

• It will show that you care about your community
• It will provide ample opportunity for you to network with new people and groups
• It’s free marketing
• You can include this in your advertising (ie: “we are a local sponsor/volunteer for xxx organization”)
• The organization/charity your volunteer for may be willing to advertise your business for free in some of their flyers/posters/etc.
• You’ll feel better about yourself for donating your time and energy to a good cause

Some ideas for local organization to work with:

• Your local town (help clean up or run an event)
• Your local Boy/Girl Scout troop
• Habitat for Humanity
• Adopt-A-Highway
• Churches
• Schools, camps
• Environment protection agencies (your local forests or lakes)
