A Season Of Giving: How To Use Promotional Products To Raise Funds For Non-Profit Organizations 

Picture this. It’s December first and you’re making your daily stop at your local Target when you hear bells ringing. As you approach the entrance the ringing gets louder and you notice a man dressed as Santa Claus with a red bucket and sign that reads “The Salvation Army”. Most of you have seen this since you were a kid. But for those who don’t this loud spectacle is part of the nonprofit organization known as the Salvation Army. They collect money from the public in various ways such as their Santa Claus campaign. There are an estimated 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the United States and each one relies on public support.

Here’s how your brand or business can get into the season of giving with promotional products for nonprofit organizations.
