Our Large Holiday Issue Hits The Mails Before Thanksgiving to

Maximize Advertisers Results!

We provide physical magazines at shows or email free

* Show schedules are subject to change without notice.

From the

PUBLISHER

Retailers Love Valentine’s Day

FEBRUARY is the month of love

across the land. Valentine’s Day is our

first major shopping holiday since

the Christmas season. We will also

be celebrating President’s Day, which,

although may not be romantic, unless

you’re Martha Washington, can really

ring up sales for retailers.

HAVING come off a slightly better

holiday season than expected, there

is some optimism for the new year.

Inflation is slowly being curbed and

retailers are hopeful that consumer

confidence will rise which will lead to

more spending.

IT is time to get your store, booth or

website ready to get bit by the “love bug”

for Valentine’s Day. Shoppers in all age

groups will be looking for holiday gifts,

in all price ranges. And while these

lovers will be scouring the markets

there will be another group looking

to take advantage of President’s Day

goods which can be typically higher

price points. The take-away is that lots

of people will be out shopping for a

myriad of items.

THE largest benefactors of Valentine’s

Day will be jewelers and florists

followed by candy sellers. But in reality,

all types of items can be marketed

for this holiday if you do it creatively.

Why couldn’t a special fishing lure or

auto or cellular accessory be given to

your someone special? Your business

needs to capitalize on this concept and

>> ON-LINE SOURCING

decorate your sales space with ideas

that let shoppers know that you sell

great gifts!

HANG a sign that says “These

Fleece Gloves Make a Great V-Day

Gift!” A small effort on your part can

dramatically increase your sales. Your

space needs to scream “Come in and

shop!” to everyone that is passing by so

they don’t pass you by!

WHEN it comes to gift buying most

shoppers are more focused on finding

the right gift than a cheap price. What

will hurt your sales is not having the

right type of merchandise to entice

shoppers.

AS for President’s Day, it is a great

weekend to take advantage of the

marketing the big box stores will be

doing. They’ll get the shoppers out of

the house and on the road. Your job is

to detour them into your store to spend

their money with you.

IF you sell some items the big box

store advertise, price yours $1 under

and put a big sign in your window.

Bring in new shoppers and show

they why independent retailers are so

important to our community.

ON a final note, we’re proud to be

media sponsors of the ASD Vegas Show

which we will proudly be sharing this

issue with attendees. Trade shows are

very important to all of our success and

we welcome the many thousands of

new readers from the show this month.

RETAILING NEWS

Fashion Company Express Transformation

FASHION retailer Express has turned to WHP Global as it begins a large-scale transformation of the

company. WHP, a brand turnaround firm that owns a number of companies, including Toys R Us, will take

a 7.4% stake in Express.

THE CEO of Express said that the partnership was part of a “large-scale transformation” that would

allow Express to boost growth by acquiring multiple brands and operating them on the Express platform.

BASED in New York, WHP owns and manages brands with a combined $4.5 billion in retail sales,

focused on those with “legacy character traits” as the company website states.

WHP stepped in to assist Toys R Us last year after the chain closed its last two stores in the United States,

opening a new store at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. The toy retailer has since branched out

even further, opening locations inside Macy’s stores around the country.

THE company’s investment in Express comes in two parts, the first being $25 million from WHP to

acquire 5.4 million shares in Express, giving it a 7.4% stake in the company, which owns 550 stores in

addition to its eCommerce operations.

THE two entities will also form a $400 million “intellectual property joint venture” with WHP investing

$235 million for a 60% ownership.

THE WHP/Express partnership news came the same day that Express released its quarterly earnings

that showed an 8% decline in comparable sales.

Tax Deductions for Your Business

EVERY small business owner should always keep aware on changes to tax codes or other tax codes

that will be advantageous to your bottom line. We’re all in business to make money and keep as much of

it that we generate. Always remember that a basic rule in taxes is that you pay taxes on your profits and

your profit is your income minus ordinary expenses that you report to the IRS every year on Schedule C.

So when you sit down to do your taxes make sure that you have tracked every single business expense

that you’re entitled to.

HERE are some popular tax deductions that you want to make sure that you are not missing.

1. Repairs or alterations to your home office. This could include painting, re-flooring,

better lighting and even cleaning services.

2. Education. Any education or training related to what you do to earn money is deductible.

3. Travel. If you visit a client, pay to park or pay a toll this is deductible. Your mileage is also if

your client does not reimburse you for this.

4. Your website. All related costs to your online presence can be deductible,

including paying for the website creation or maintenance.

5. Start-up costs. If this is your first year in business the legal and professional fees you

pay to complete and file your paperwork are deductible.

6. Research and development. If you’re creating a new product,

the expenses relevant to bringing the product to market are deductible.

7. Interest on debt. Business loans are tax deductible as long as it’s an arms-length transaction.

Deduct interest costs from loans and business credit cards.

8. Finally, industry publication subscriptions are also deductible.

BUYERS & SELLERS TOGETHER UNDER ONE ROOF AT LVCC

The leading wholesaler and supplier brands

will come together at ASD Marketweek,

February 26th - March 1st, 2023 in a distinct trade

show experience for thousands of exhibitors in

the style and beauty, jewelry, gift, toy, and value

categories.

The ASD shows provide a unique environment

where buyers and sellers come together to do

business. By having the entire show under one roof

at the Convention Center it makes it convenient

for attending buyers to cover more exhibits and

spend more time with the exhibitors to make their

purchases. The show continues to evolve and

improve by separating product categories such as

gift, toy, fashion and general merchandise making

it easier than ever for buyers to pinpoint specific

areas to see the products they are interested in.

In addition, the show will offer seminars on topics of

interest to the current retail environment including

social media, search engine strategies, e-commerce

and global sales strategies. All seminars will take

place on site at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

For over 62 years, ASD Marketweek has been serving

the unique community of buyers and sellers in the

wholesale and mass retail arenas. The show will take

place from February 26th - March 1st, 2023 at the

Las Vegas Convention Center and is expected to

draw over 45,000 buyers including large chain

retail stores, independent retailers, online retailers,

distributors, boutique franchisers, mall carts and

kiosks. The show offers the most comprehensive

selection of general merchandise under one roof

in the country.

Forum Publishing Company will be celebrating its 42 nd Anniversary in May and has been a proud Media Partner

of the ASD Marketweek since 1981. We welcome all exhibitors and attendees to the show and look forward to seeing you there!

Continued from last issue ...

Be Real: Admit Past Indiscretions

One of the largest draws to a Public Relations

Society of America meeting was the presentation,

“My Favorite P.R. Failure.” Six seasoned,

highly respected pros in the field agreed to

share a case study where something went awry.

Chapter members, media, and guests flocked

to the luncheon to laugh at someone else’s mistakes.

While attendees need to know what to do to be

a success, no one wants to look up to the

speaker as a god. If all you can tout are your accomplishments,

you make success look easy

and a bit distant to mere mortals who daily battle

life’s challenges. You’ll earn respect and admiration

from the crowd if you candidly share

mistakes you made along the way. With you

serving as the fall guy, others can avoid those

pitfalls and more quickly reach their goal. After

all, if they wanted to make all those mistakes

themselves, why would they attend your seminar

or speech? They’re paying you to share

shortcuts to success, and they want to know

how not to do something as much as how to do

it. People want to hear personal stories, and if

you can illustrate a point with a funny story, all

the better.

Jeanine Just believes her success as a speaker is

directly linked to the fact that her audiences

Page sense 32 FEBRUARY that she is2023 honest | RETAILERS and genuine. FORUM “I wear MAGAZINE

my emotions on my sleeve,” she says. “If I trip

and fall walking up to the podium, we all stand

there and laugh. People trust me when I speak.

I have an open, easy style; I don’t put myself

up on a pedestal. I’m right there with the audience,

talking about what is important to them

and assisting them with issues they want to

deal with.”

Just says that her primary marketing objective

is to build relationships. “I don’t invest in

Madison Avenue marketing techniques, but if I

treat my audiences right, they will come back

and refer me to others. You can’t have a salesforce

better than that.”

Kent echoes the sentiment. “You must have a

clear idea of who and what you are and be willing

to be honest and admit your weaknesses if

you want to win over an audience,” he says.

“Be prepared to talk about your topic, but don’t

have a prepared speech. The fewer formulas

you use the better. And, as Shakespeare’s Polonias

said, ‘Above all, to they own self be true.’“

Conclude With A Call To Action

Last impressions are lasting. Don’t kill the excitement

you’ve created during your presentation

with a weak ending. At all costs, avoid the

phrase, “And in conclusion,” and never apologize

for your presentation. While thanking the

group for having you is a nice gesture, it’s not

an ending that will win an Emmy.

If possible, save a particular pithy, thought-provoking

quote to leave with the audience. Or

wow them with your best joke. If you don’t

have material that will tickle their funny bone

or tug at their heart strings, at least leave your

audience with a summary of the main points of

your speech, presented in a quick 3-point fashion.

Remember the adage, “Tell them what

you’ll tell them, tell them, and then them what

you told them.”

FORUM WORKSHOP

No matter how you end, be sure to end on time.

Use Henry’s timer idea, take your watch off to

remind yourself of the time limit, or ask the

program chairperson or individual who hired

you to stand when your time has run out. Then,

in less than 2 minutes, wind up. Even if you

have 10 minutes more of material, it’s better to

leave the audience begging for more than to

run on and make attendees excuse themselves

while you are talking. Remember, how can they

miss you when you won’t go away?

Prepare for the

dreaded questionand-answer

session

by planting a question

or two in the

audience ahead of

time. continued...

Remember, few people like to go first, and most

are certain that their questions will sound simple

and that they shouldn’t insult you and the

others in the audience by asking. Once people

start asking questions, repeat the question so

that all can hear. If you don’t know the answer,

don’t punt. Simply say you don’t know.

And don’t leave the seminar or speech site

without your evaluations. These are invaluable

tools for improving your presentation. Two

questions beyond the obvious to consider are

as follows:

1. What was the one point of value

you gained from the workshop?

2. What will you do with the information?

How can you use it?

forumworkshop

FORUM WORKSHOP

Take the answers to the survey to heart, but

don’t be heartbroken if you don’t always get

rave reviews. Evaluate the opinions and don’t

look back, only ahead.

Before members of the

audience leave, make

sure each one of them

has a brochure or a telephone

index card that

includes a few lines

about your business

and speech or seminar

topics you offer. If they

liked what you had to

say, the chances of a referral

are good if you

make it easy for them to

remember who you are.

They Know Who You Are,

But Do You Know Who They Are?

Everyone who has attended your class, seminar,

or speech knows who you are, and they

know your background and how to get in

touch with you from the class catalog or seminar

brochure, your introduction, and handouts.

Speaking opportunities give you a chance to

put your name in front of small intimate groups

and large impersonal audiences. But no matter

what the size, it’s easy for a speaker to walk

away and not know the name of one person

who heard him or her speak.

If you teach a class, keep a copy of the class roster

that includes students’ names and addresses.

Then, stay in touch with those students

at least once a year, either by sending handouts

you think might be interesting or by holding a

reunion. Each year, Henry invites a researcher

to speak at his marketing class. At the end of

the semester, he sends all of his former students

an invitation to a potluck and update lecture by

the researcher. The reunion gives former students

a chance to network with others in the

field, and it keeps Henry’s name in front of an

ever-growing number of people who may

bring business to him.

If you’re giving an hour-long

speech at a luncheon or dinner

meeting, you can get the

names of attendees by having

a drawing for a book that

you’ve written or a tape that

you’ve produced.

Collect their business cards for a drawing. A

week or two later, send each attendee a handout

related to the speech topic and accompanied

by a personal “FYI” note. Henry earned a

million-dollar account from a former student

with whom he kept in touch in just this way.

When your speech or class has concluded,

write down pertinent information that will

help you with future presentations to the same

group. Lee S. Shapiro, J.D., is nationally known

as the “Hugging” Judge and for his powerful

talks on human relations. After each presentation,

Shapiro fills out an After-Presentation Reference

Sheet that includes:

forumworkshop

• name, address, and phone

number of the organization

• name and phone number

of the contact person

• type of meeting

• title of presentation

• number of attendees

• type of attendees

• room set-up

• things to prepare for next time

• distance from airport

When a company or organization asks Shapiro

for an encore, he’s prepared, and he ensures

that his repeat performances live up to and

even surpass his initial presentation.

TOP SELF-MARKETING SECRETS

Pointers for the Platform

1. Practice makes perfect.

Put yourself in front of a live

audience of friends to get

honest feedback about your

information and speaking style.

2. Begin by giving talks to college

classes and teaching for university

extended studies programs.

3. Tie in to your local chamber of commerce.

4. Sponsor your own seminar.

5. Distribute a speakers’ bureau brochure to

professional organizations and corporations.

6. Research the audience to ensure that

your talk meets their needs.

7. Create an opening act that sizzles.

8. Use fill-in-the-blanks handouts and

other visual aids such as slides,

overhead transparencies, and videos

to keep the audience awake.

9. Reward participation

to involve the audience.

10. Stop talking when the buzzer sounds.

11. Get business cards or class rosters

for follow-up marketing.

12. Distribute speaker evaluations.

13. Charge for your talent when appropriate.

It’s Better To Give

So You’ll Receive

Faith and Hope Are Nice,

But Charity Gets Coverage

Hitching your wagon to a worthy cause lets

you give back to the community that supports

you. It will also earn you a reputation as a businessperson

who cares about more than the bottom

line. Although few go into a pro bono

endeavor (pro bono publico – for the good of

the public) for the sole purpose of building

clientele, when pressed, many businesspeople

agree that it is a way to expand contacts, to earn

referrals, and to broaden your experience without

the self-serving hype of blatant marketing

approaches.

Kevin Alverson, national

anesthesiology

account manager for

Northern Health Systems,

Inc. joined with

close friend Kyle Eldred

to create Critical

Mass, a nonprofit

group of young professionals

who get

together on a regular basis to organize fundraisers

for a local children’s charity. “We had a

group of friends who would attend. One day

while walking down the beach, Kyle and I decided

that if we could get half of that crowd to

attend a $75-a-plate black-tie affair, we could

donate a sizable sum to a community group

and take our party to another level.”

FORUM WORKSHOP

The first year, the twosome approached the Big

Brothers and Big Sisters organizations. “We

told them that all they had to do was let us use

their name and we would donate the proceeds

to them,” explained Alverson. “Many board

members were familiar with my work as a Big

Brother, but they still put us through an hour

of questioning. They were suspicious at first as

to why two young professionals on the fast

track would do something out of the ordinary

like this. We convinced them that a smile on a

child’s face was what we were looking for.”

forumworkshop

The Big Brothers organization

made Alverson and Eldred

sign a contract holding

the two personally responsible

for the event. They rallied

together with 14 other

Pittsburgh professionals and raised $12,000 for

the Make a Wish Foundation, and the 3rd year

another $12,000 for Special Olympics.

In addition to helping kids in the community,

Kevin’s big heart has helped him to gain professionally

and personally. “I’ve made a lot of

contacts including ex-Steelers Lynn Swan and

Franco Harris,” says Alverson. “I’ve also met

the local hosts of ‘PM Magazine,’ who have, in

turn, invited us to some big fund-raisers where

we’ve met the mayor and other politically involved

people.”

Workwise, write-ups in his corporation’s

newsletter about the efforts of Critical Mass

helped him earn a favorable reputation among

people in site offices whom he had never met.

“When I went to a national sales convention

and met a man who recognized me from a

newsletter article, he immediately perceived

me not only as a good sales rep, but as someone

who can step back from work and be successful

in other endeavors.”

Alverson also credits landing a new job to his

charity work. “The president of the company at

which I’m now working was at the second

black and white ball we threw and approached

me to talk about this job. The organization, caliber,

and outcome of the event impressed him.

When I landed the job, he authorized a contract

that states that I am allowed unlimited ‘comp’

time to devote to Critical Mass. He takes pride

in what I do. And since I’m his employee, he

knows that he is himself contributing to the

success of the event.”

forumworkshop

Today, Critical Mass is 35 members strong.

Charities now approach it to be considered the

recipient of their annual fund-raising parties.

“Once you are involved in a charity, you realize

that no matter how rough a day you have, there

is always someone having a worse time. It’s a

great way to channel energies and a phenomenal

way to help you grow.”

Kevin gives one caveat:

“Don’t go into charity

work to use it as a resume

filler. You’ll stand

out like a sore thumb and

you won’t get anything

out of it. Do it for selfgrowth

and to give of

yourself, and you’ll gain

the world.” continued...

James B. Strenski, Public Relations Society of

Inc., with offices in Chicago, Miami,

and Tampa, echoes the sentiment. James donates

20% of his time to pro bono initiatives.

“Our company feels strongly that we owe the

community and the professions we are a part

of a certain amount of our time,” he says. “Our

attitude is much like the character in The Magnificent

Obsession – we take whatever chance we

have to do something for someone else, without

asking for anything in return.”

Strenski has risen through the ranks of his professional

organization, having held national offices

for the society and serving for 2 years as

chair of the Public Service Committee. “The

payback has been meeting colleagues who operate

public relations firms throughout the

USA, Canada, and even offshore,” he says.

“They have become good friends, as well as

sources of business referrals. Our association

also gave rise to the formation of the Worldcom

Group, Inc., a partnership organization of corporate

financial marketing and institutional

communication public relations agencies to

share resources as well as referrals.”

When Strenski chaired the marketing

committee of Tampa

Downtown Partnership, a private

businessperson’s group

dedicated to economic development

of downtown Tampa, he expected to give

time and direction. The group’s efforts resulted

in the city’s providing funding for marketing,

and Strenski’s firm was selected because of its

volunteer leadership.

It’s no secret that volunteerism gives as much

to the person who donates the time, money,

and energy as it does to the recipient. So while

you don’t go into pro bono work looking to get

something out of it, there is nothing deceptive

about volunteering to help promote or support

a venture that also gives your business or product

notoriety. You can bet that celebrities who

sing for Farm Aid or stand up to fight against

environmental concerns benefit from the goodwill

of their names’ association with the cause.

Earn Visibility

As a Board Member

One of the most direct ways to meet key industry

leaders is to sit on a board of directors of a

community-based organization. A seat on a

board of directors is a position of prestige you

have to earn. But when your hard work and expertise

precede you, you will begin to be asked

to sit on boards to direct the efforts of philanthropic

or nonprofit organizations. Everything

you’ve done to date – speaking, writing, volunteering

– creates the momentum of compounding

interest until suddenly, after years of

investing, the payback is big.

When coauthor Diane donated close to 50

hours writing a public relations plan and press

kit that included fact sheets, bios, and news releases

for the first San Diego Women’s Business

Grant, she knew the contacts with top female

entrepreneurs would be beneficial. But when,

she wondered, would she be able to point to

positive cash flow as a direct result of the effort?

Two days after the grant luncheon, a

woman who had seen her name and photo in

the event program

and had seen Diane

stand up during introductions,

called for

an appointment. The

next month, Diane’s

“Being associated with that event

was without a doubt a good marketing

tool for us,” says Harper.

“Working with the Reagans for 4

years certainly helped build our

credibility when pitching other accounts.

You have to be visible in

Washington. And the more you are

out there – pro bono or not – the

greater the potential for business.”

After the Reagans left town, Harper became involved

in putting together the “Dan Quayle

Tennis Challenge” to benefit the Leukemia Society,

a corporate sponsor-driven event. “How

an effort will translate into business later on is

hard to tell; but those who attend always want

to know who did what,” says Harper. “We do a

lot of volunteer work because we believe we

forumworkshop


should. If we’re lucky, we can make some new

contacts, and inevitably there is a possible spinoff

for the agency.”

But Harper does caution enthusiastic volunteers,

“Don’t forget which side your bread is

buttered on. It doesn’t behoove you to donate

an unrealistic amount of time to charity if your

paying customers don’t get the attention they

expect.” Take volunteer positions seriously, but

don’t overcommit.

Banking on the Ripple Effect

Leigh Steinberg, one of the country’s most successful

sports agents, makes sure that he donates

Part of his goal in doing so is to help undo the

typical stereotype of the sports agent as a sleazy

salesman. In the May 1989 issue of Continental

Profiles, author Neil Choen quoted Steinberg

as saying,” ... (Athletes) really need to developing-term

relationships in a city or a community

that will transcend that short sports career. So

the responsible thing to do also has opportunities

for them. They’re meeting businessmen

and other people across the community, and

when their careers end, those relationships are

there in terms of second-career opportunities.”

It’s the spin-off and ripple effect of involvement

in charitable causes that Steinberg impresses

upon his clients as being important. Steinberg

helped to develop former San Diego Charger

Rolf Benirschke’s “Kicks for Critters,” in which

the field goal kicker would donate money to

the San Diego Zoo’s fund for endangered

species every time he made a field goal. The

football player then put together a board of directors

of leading figures in local politics, business,

and the media to support a campaign that

asked the public to match Benirschke’s pledges

at any level – from a nickel to a dollar per field

goal. The program raised more than $1 million

for the fund and immeasurably elevated

Benirschke’s status and prestige in the community

and the nation.

Don’t shy away from a trade,

especially if it gives you the

opportunity to get experience

in a new field, to receive special

recognition, or to meet

movers and shakers.

When George Chanos approached Diane and

asked her company to provide public relations

services in exchange for sweat equity in his

new board game, Notables Quotables, the offer

intrigues her. Chanos dangles the success that

Trivial Pursuit sweat equity partners enjoyed

in front of her like a diamond carat.

But Diane knew she couldn’t put 2 or 3 account

executives on the job with only a promise of future

income. Owning a share of a potentially

big-selling game was exciting. After all, Trivial

Pursuit earned $6.5 million in the first year –

that’s more than it would cost to buy Eastern

Airlines. After much discussion, Diane and

George came to an agreement. The Gage Group

would cut its hourly fee in half when it worked

on the game project, receiving 50% of its earnings

in cash. The other 50% would go toward

buying shares of the game.

In the meantime, The Gage Group, which up to

this time had primarily promoted services,

gained experience it didn’t have publicizing a

consumer product. It made key media contacts

with reporters who became excited about the

local invention, and it earned the public relations

company credibility promoting a new

product. In turn, Chanos got top-notch public

relations services for half the price.

Another way to barter services and to get free

ad space is to learn of upcoming trade fairs,

conferences, seminars, and other special events

at which you would like to be represented.

There may be a service you can provide the

event planners in exchange for the opportunity

to get in front of the audience either as a guest

speaker or as a vendor displaying your product

or touting your services. You don’t always have

to pay for self-promotion in cold hard cash.

Sponsorships Gain You

a Different Kind of Visibility

forumworkshop

Sponsoring a charity

event to earn visibility

is something the

big guys have done


for years. Whether it’s a golf or tennis tournament,

10K run or marathon, art exhibition, or

wine-tasting party, charitable causes are always

looking for business sponsors.

Tying your name in with a particular event or

cause can get your name out to new audiences

in a non-serving way. Jack-in-the-Box restaurants,

owned by Food Maker, Inc. created a

“Put the Bite on Literacy” campaign in which it

asked people to bring in used books to its

restaurants. When customers complied, they’d

receive a discount coupon on a particular food

item. Jack-in the Box then held a book sale and

auction at one of its stores, donating proceeds

to the Council on Literacy. Of course, the food

chain made free Jack-in the Box food available

at the event to win more converts.

FORUM WORKSHOP

Reebok International has won many hearts and

feet with its Human Rights Awards. For several

years it has recognized individuals who have

worked for human rights at an annual presentation.

The commitment has been expensive,

but it has raised the company’s profile and

earned numerous admirers and media coverage

that can’t be bought. It’s estimated that

more than 570 million U.S. consumers read

about the second award ceremony, which featured

rock star Sting and ex-president Jimmy

Carter as speakers and gave awards to Chinese

students, tribal peoples of the Malaysian rain

forests, relatives of the “disappeared” in Argentina,

and Americans who helped the plight

of Native Americans. USA Today, the Washington

Post, MTV, “Entertainment Tonight,” CNN,

and all major footwear magazines covered the

event. A video news release (a prepackaged

aired on 62 stations nationwide,

capturing more than

1.6 million viewers. Charity

can pay big dividends.

You don’t have to be a mega-corporation to

help others and to earn recognition for it. The

San Diego Chapter of the American Marketing

Association won hearts when it created a Community

Services Committee to provide professional

marketing guidance to area nonprofit

organizations. The first year it named the

Women’s Resource Center as beneficiary; it

helped design a logo and promotional materials

for its new family shelter, as well as communication

pieces for fund-raising events. The

association contributed its talent and earned

local visibility for its generosity.

Ask yourself what resources you can offer to a

community group or organization. Here are a

few examples:

• A new restaurant throws a grand-opening

party with all proceeds benefiting a

hospital auxiliary.

• A clothing boutique offers the latest styles

for a fashion show fund-raiser.

• A bookstore sponsors a book-signing party

to raise money for a special-interest group.

• Attorneys offer a day of free telephone legal

counseling for a law school fund-raiser.

• An image consultant agrees to provide free

holiday hair & makeup services for cancer

patients at a local hospital.

• A physician group volunteers time

at a community health fair.

Advertising Your Charity Tie-ins

Paid advertising touting your involvement can

be a wise investment of your dollars. General

Dynamics, an aerospace giant, took out a fullpage

magazine ad describing a program it

sponsors that involves women prisoners in a

work program to revitalize a neighborhood.

The women learn new skills – carpentry, dry

wall hanging, roofing – and gain confidence.

The community gets high-quality, affordable

housing. General Dynamics gets its name and

tag line – “General Dynamics, a Strong Company

for a Strong Country” – in front of readers

and it positions itself as a valuable community

citizen.

Likewise, Ford Motor Company

bought a full-page to

advertise the Ford Motor

Company Collection at the

Metropolitan Museum of Art. Prominent at the

bottom of the ad is the Ford logo and tag line,

“Ford Motor Company takes you farther than

ever before.”

MasterCard also advertised its “Choose to

Make a Difference” program in which it offered

consumers the choice of a charitable cause to

which MasterCard would donate money. Every

time a consumer used his or her card or bought

MasterCard Travelers Cheques in a certain time

frame, the company would make a contribution

to the specified fund. The ad included a

“ballot” that the customer filled out and sent in

indicating his or her choice of 1 of 6 charities.

Wouldn’t you pull out that charge card over another

if you knew you could be making a charitable

contribution at the same time? That’s

what MasterCard was banking on.

FORUM WORKSHOP

Grabbing Media Attention

With Freebies

Charity does get coverage, especially when

what you do is offbeat, whimsical, touching, or

involves animals or children. As Christmas

1990 approached and American soldiers were

in the midst of Operation Desert Shield, a

postal service company offered to send packages

to the Middle East at no charge. It received

a week of free media exposure & immeasurable

goodwill. That kind of gift isn’t fast forgotten.

Shortly after Halloween,

one business collected

pumpkins that would

otherwise rot and donated

them to a zoo for

animals to eat. The report, picked up on the

wire service, spread throughout the country as

a fun day-after Halloween story.

Apple Computers made an indelible mark on

American homes when it donated computers

to schools throughout the nation. While the effort

was no doubt generous, you can bet Apple

liked the fact that school kids everywhere were

learning computer skills on its hardware and

becoming entrenched in the Apple system.

Sometimes, the more offbeat your effort, the

better chance of coverage. A public-relationsadvertising

man, Gary Beals, earned his company

recognition when he became

administrator of the newly revived San Diego

Hell on Earth Club.

FORUM WORKSHOP

This tongue-in-cheek venture alerted potential

newcomers to the city’s pitfalls – earthquakes,

smog, astronomical real estate prices, and the

like – in the hope that they wouldn’t move to

the area. Three large photos of Beals in action

promoting the club and an accompanying story

mentioned Gary’s advertising agency, and he

was also interviewed on National Public Radio,

which showed listeners that he has a way of

earning media coverage.

Increasing Media Opportunities

An added bonus of working for a nonprofit organization

is that you’ll get media coverage

you never would otherwise. While your venture

on its own may be too commercial, when

Build Your Own

forumworkshop

you tie in with a charity,

your name will appear in

public service announcements

(PSAs) and other

blurbs about the event.

Radio and television

PSAs are scarcer and

scarcer, but if your event

is truly worthwhile and

benefits a charity, your

chances for “free” air

time are greater. Be sure to send PSAs to radio

stations at least 2 weeks prior to the time you

want coverage to begin. Thus, if you’d like

mention on the air for the 2 weeks prior to the

event, the PSA needs to be at the station a

month ahead of time.

FORUM WORKSHOP

Send written, not taped PSAs to radio so that

the disk jockeys can read them over the air.

Type the PSAs one to a page and time them for

10, 20, or 30 seconds. Using a 65-space line, 10

seconds is 2 1/2 lines. Time yourself reading

the PSA at a moderate pace and shorten it until

you’re on the money.

Television stations also accept PSAs but use

them much less frequently than they did before

the FCC bowed out of becoming a watchdog of

public programming in the late 1970s. One of

the best ways to get the attention of a television

station is to get a station reporter or anchor to

take part in your event. If a television personality

is the honorary chairperson or emcee for the

event, the TV station will more likely tape a

PSA using its on-air talent. It makes the station

forumworkshop

look good in the

eyes of the community,

and it

gets its name out

in a positive way

to its audience.

To recruit a television personality, either write a

letter to the person or contact the station’s public

affairs department. Be very clear about what

will be expected of the person, and don’t demand

too much. Lending his or her name and

making opening remarks or a quick speech is

all that should be expected. If possible, send

background information about the event so

that the television celebrity gets a feel for how

it benefits the charity or community.

Society editors at newspapers are on the lookout

to cover events with pizazz. If you’re hosting

a party, be sure to send the media special

invitations, and do it as far in advance as possible,

since their calendars get booked quickly.

Publicize your nonprofit event by

sending calendar items to the local

newspapers and magazines as well.

If possible, give monthly periodicals

a 3-month lead time, weeklies

a month, and dailies at least 2

weeks. If your name can be tagged

onto the name of the event, all the

better. You’ll be mentioned every time an item

is run. If not, realize that gaining publicity for

the event eventually works in your favor because

the more people who attend, the more

who will become familiar with your services.

No matter how you donate your services to

charity, be a cheerful giver. And don’t shortchange

yourself or the philanthropic effort by

doing things halfway because you’re not getting

paid. You can win referrals if you first win

hearts. Give it your all or don’t give at all.
