Marketing for Small Business: Do Pro-Bono work.How often do we sit in front of our TVs or computers and see people in need, or the environment in trouble, and many more distressing things. Every-time, I wish I could change it all, the truth is I can’t - but we all can help. The type of help I’m referring to here will not make the headlines, will not get you noticed by everybody, but it will help. I’m talking about pro-bono work, or sponsoring an organisation with a service or product you offer. I believe it can be better resources or money spend, than doing google ads, it is a good bootstrapping technique - and a win-win situation for you and the sponsored organisation. For example, the College StartUp blog has an article today about “5 ways to get “paid” for pro bono work“, they talk about the marketing benefits you may gain by doing good. Every small business or start-up business, like SOHO-, SME, SMB-, Micro-, Lifestyle-, Home-, DIY-, Hobby-, Boomer- or Personal business, like professional, contractors, freelancer, self-employed, sole-trader and virtual assistants has something to give, which could make a difference. You may not be able to change the world, but if we all did our bit, we could make a hell of a difference. ST.

This is great advice. My father just sent me an article about a man named Dr. Stephen Post who just recently released a book titled “Why Good Things Happen To Good People.” For small businesses I think that it is especially important to reach out to your community and show that you not only care about the business they bring but also about the people themselves. The smallest gesture even will speak volumes about your character and the core values of your business. If nothing else it should reaffirm the loyalty of current customers which will hopefully bring in new ones.
