It's a tough time to see a transaction come through and before somebody makes one, they want to be sure they're getting maximum value. What does that mean? Giving back to your local community. Here are some ways you can accomplish that and give customers value in return for their continued business.

Are you giving back to your local area and the businesses that support you? Businesses have changed dramatically over the past three months. In fact, we’re all changing how we do business, from restaurants and caterers to event planners and everyone in between. But as we look to the future and think about how to make adjustments to be able to accommodate the sales that are out there, we need to think about how we can better our community and support those that are supporting us.

Consider reaching out to local organizations and non-profits such as Little League and local Boys and Girls Clubs or even churches and other clubs. They’re likely struggling too right now but they do have large databases of members. One simple idea is to send out an email with an extra 10% offer you’re making for your business AND a 5% contribution to that organization every time a member orders from you.

I used to have a similar program called Helping Hands in the floral industry. It was extremely popular and very well received locally. This is where we need to go - we’ve got to think about giving back. Because as much as we need business, so does everyone else. If we can give back to those who need us, then everyone wins together.
