BUILDING COMMUNITY GOODWILL FOR YOUR BIZ

If you are in the startup phase of your small business & wondering how to generate clients/customers/revenue OR if you have an existing business, but sales are off right now, consider doing some pro bono work for a non-profit organization in your community.

Help them set up a website or blog, offer to write a press release for an event, volunteer to serve as auctioneer at their upcoming fund-raiser, or use your company van to help them pick up/make a delivery for a weekend.

You will build goodwill in your community, meet the officers of the organization who will keep you in mind for future $$ projects and you will make contact with the group's influential fundraisers who are in a position to hire you for their business needs. Plus, there is no reward like helping someone.

We're all in this together flying around on this crazy rock of a planet we call home!
