5 Tips to Make Your Insider Pages Fundraiser a Success!

Helping raise money for charity has never been easier. The Insider Pages Fundraising Program is convenient, fast and easy to do. Once registered, fundraiser participants can conveniently write reviews on their favorite local business from work or home, day or night, throughout the fundraising period.

Encourage local businesses to confirm they have a listing on Insider Pages. Distribute information about the fundraiser and allow merchants to spread the word about your fundraiser by encouraging happy customers to write a review to benefit your organization. Local businesses are rewarded with more business as a result of positive customer reviews!

The more people that know about your cause and fundraiser, the better so tell your local media to help spread the word. Insider Pages is happy to provide you with a press release template to assist you in reaching out to the local media, here are three easy steps to get you started:

1. Complete the necessary information on the press release template.
2. Select 2-3 (or more!) media outlets in your community, radio stations, television stations, and newspapers. Contact information can usually be found on their websites and they are always looking for fun stories so don't be shy.
3. Submit the press release via email, fax or even drop it off at their office.

A simple email can go a long way. Let your friends and family know about the fundraiser and ask them to spread the word to their family and friends. Be sure to provide the key details of the program and the proper registration information.

At some point everyone is looking to find a quality plumber, a new dentist or a great yoga studio and having a referral from a previous customer is extremely helpful when making a decision. As a result of the Insider Pages Fundraiser, the community gains a rich source of customer referrals and tips on local businesses that remains online for years to come.
