Become a Caring Club Merchant
United Way invites you to participate in the Caring Club! We are now recruiting merchants for the Caring Club card that will be effective January 1, 2012, though December 31, 2012. Why should you participate?
"Free" marketing to more than 100,000 people in 2,000 local companies. As a merchant, you will be featured in appropriate campaign marketing materials and presentations.
- Potential to have 30,000 or more United Way supporters directed to your services.
- Public recognition will be given to your business when appropriate at United Way events, in the media and in United Way publications.
- Listing on United Way's website. We will also provide a link back to your web site.
- Signage to display at your locations showing your support as a Caring Club merchant.
- Plus, featuring your partnership with United Way in your advertising will demonstrate your role as a community leader.
The Caring Club gives you the opportunity to thank those investing in our community through United Way and drive traffic to your business at the same time. Best of all, it costs nothing, but the discount you offer.
Here's what a few local companies have to say about their participation...
"It brings in a lot of new business. I was skeptical when I first signed up as merchant, but now I am pleasantly surprised with the number of new clients who call us as a result of the card."
