Giving by CafeGive Helps Portland Nursery Serve Up Two Social Marketing Programs, With a Little Fun on the Side.

Portland Nursery, like many small businesses across the US, actively gives back to the community.   These businesses are aligning themselves with relevant issues or causes using the Giving by Cafegive platform to showcase their good works, and increase the success of their community giving efforts.

Cafegive’s new Giving by CafeGive cause marketing platform allows businesses to showcase their social giving, raise awareness for their social giving practices, and to promote consumer participation in fun and engaging ways. The platform offers a wide range of social marketing applications, ranging from gift matching, virtual gifts, online stores, voting, contests, and fundraising drives to benefit causes. Giving by CafeGive removes the barriers to create and manage campaigns by providing an online platform that puts the power of social marketing in the hands of every business regardless of size.

Like many small businesses in the U.S, the business owners and employees of locally owned Portland Nursery have a strong sense of community and giving back. Using two powerful social marketing applications on the Giving by Cafegive platform, Portland Nursery was able to move their philanthropy efforts online. In conjunction with their 24th annual Apple & Pear Tasting Event (October 14-23), the nursery added a social voting photo contest and an online matching donation program to the event.

Portland Nursery Photo Contest
Portland Nursery recently selected 15 photo finalists (from over 200 entries) and is inviting everyone to visit their Portland Nursery Photo Contest on Facebook between Oct 10-23, 2011 and help select the winning photographs...Portland Nursery is using Facebook to amplify their work around this cause. Everyone is encouraged to learn more about their efforts and make a donation at Portland Nursery Supports Elders in Action page. Portland Nursery will match the first $1000 dollars raised as a reward for participation.

A variety of social marketing campaigns like these can be created and launched in a matter of days, easily and affordably using the Giving by CafeGive platform.
