For the past week we’ve been getting ads for Black Friday and Cyber Monday – and today my mail is full of extensions of those sales.
Now, after we’ve been urged to spend every last dime and then some, along comes Giving Tuesday.
It seems to me that it might have been wiser to put the giving day ahead of the multiple spending days.
Hopefully, we all have a little something left to give to our favorite charities. And hopefully, we’ll all give wisely. I’ve eliminated a few “causes” after visiting sites like Charity Navigator and learning that the bulk of the money they collect goes to salaries and advertising to get more money.
I recall one friend who wrote letters to all the charities that offered her a gift in exchange for her donation. It made her angry that they spent their money on bribes instead of the cause.
Meanwhile… I know that none of my Active Rain friends are charity cases, but I do have something to give to you on Giving Tuesday. If you’ll visit my Freebie’s Page, you’ll find several letters you can use to help promote yourself and your business.
They aren’t just there on Giving Tuesday, however, so you don’t need to hurry, hurry, hurry to get there.
Happy Giving Tuesday!
