TIPS TO PROMOTE YOUR FAIRTRADE<br />
PRODUCTS ONLINE<br />
• Run a competition to win your Fairtrade<br />
products with questions about Fairtrade and<br />
your business.<br />
• Showcase your products using or linking to text<br />
from the Fairtrade website on impact for farmers<br />
and workers.<br />
• Blog about the country and co-operatives your<br />
Fairtrade products come from.<br />
• Tell the story that only Fairtrade pays a Premium<br />
and explain what communities usually spend<br />
it on.<br />
CAMPAIGNING<br />
This year’s key campaign message is to invite<br />
people to turn their back on exploitation and<br />
to open the door to Fairtrade. The Fairtrade<br />
Foundation is encouraging campaigners to<br />
create their own unique door and invite people in.<br />
Whether you’re simply decorating the doors<br />
to your events, or bringing people together to<br />
create a unique entrance, a door offers a great<br />
photo opportunity for local press, and can be a<br />
fun and flexible group activity too.<br />
