🌟 We all love hitting KPIs and crushing deadlines 💼, but true fulfillment comes from making an impact that goes beyond your day-to-day work. Today, I joined the team sorting ponytail donations ✂️, which come from all over Australia and New Zealand 🐨🥝 thanks to Sustainable Salons members. These donations will soon be transformed into wigs for people living with alopecia 🎗️. It got me thinking—isn’t that what true fulfillment is all about? Whether through small gestures or big contributions, it’s knowing you’re part of something bigger than yourself. 🌍💪 So, whether you’re growing your hair for donation (and remember: size matters—36cm or longer is the golden standard! ✨) or dedicating yourself to a meaningful project, always keep the bigger picture in mind. 💖 #PonytailPower #Purpose #Fulfillment #SustainableSalons

Sharing a compelling offer doesn't have to feel slimy or sales-y. It is a matter of the heart. If you really want what's best for those who need your services, offering that service is itself a service and charitable act!

Marketing in a charity has taught me a lot. Here are a few of the challenges a marketer faces working in a children's charity context... - Marketing to multiple audiences on multiple fronts with multiple funnels at the same time - Different emotional drivers for each audience - Understanding the role of altruism in decision making - Handling very sensitive subject matter and ensuring brand tone is on point - Balancing the requirement for sensitivity with the need to convey messages that evoke challenging emotions and provoke a sense of urgency You must also be extremely resourceful and reactive to a fast changing environment in which unexpected opportunities must be capitalised upon Finally, managing our marketing budget has an extra layer of emotional responsibility as every £ has been donated with the trust that it will be spent optimally to make real impact for the families the charity supports. Charity marketing keeps you on your toes that's for sure. ♻️ If you think this post could help someone in your network please give it a share. 👋 Hi there, my name is Ben - I post about customer focused, purpose-led marketing strategy and positive leadership. ➡️ Follow to stay connected.

70% of consumers want to know how brands are addressing social and environmental issues. 46% of consumers pay close attention to a brand’s actions. One solution businesses are pursuing is cause marketing. Cause marketing involves a collaboration between a for-profit business and a nonprofit organization for a common benefit. Cause marketing can also refer to social or charitable campaigns put on by for-profit brands. source and more content https://lnkd.in/d3JUVPUn

It’s inherent human nature to always keep questioning everything around us. Either it’s done for a productive cause or done plainly out of spite or insecurity or a feeling of less. Like I said Human Nature. If we all want to do something good for ourselves then that charity of focuissing less on what’s others plate and working toward how we can fill our own is what we should aim to improve. Do the little things in the best manner possible to ensure a peaceful and secure tomorrow for yourself.

As brands are poised for the holiday season, the landscape is looking increasingly different 🎄 Consumers are using their spending power to drive change. Brands that donate a portion of sales to charities, support community initiatives, or champion environmental efforts are more likely to win the hearts of today’s shoppers, who want their holiday purchases to support something meaningful. In fact, nearly 60% of shoppers are likely to switch brands if they feel a brand's purpose aligns with their own values. How are you planning your holiday season differently this year? #sustainability #sustainablebrands #holidayseason
