shows, industry events, universities and others. I have also written

Charitable marketing

charity

Give and it shall be given.

Case Study #3:

“I have a photography business and one of my divisions
 focuses on pets. I’ve found some of the best marketing is charitable
 marketing by partnering with a local rescue or shelter. I offer a
 discounted session fee to their donors and 100 percent of the session fee gets 
donated by me back to the charity. It raises funds for the shelter, gives 
the donors a special opportunity, and my name gets in front of many
 qualified potential clients — of course, some of those become new clients!” – Nicole Begley, Owner, Nicole Begley Photography
