Pink Day is a fabulous way to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
Pink Day is an event that garden centers across the world participate in to raise money for breast cancer awareness. If you own a garden center or a similar business, Pink Day is a great way to raise money for charity and to boost your business. There is not a certain day for Pink Day, but most garden centers choose to have theirs in the warmer summer months when the greenhouse flowers are in full bloom. If you decide to have a Pink Day event at your business, there are many ideas and activities to choose from.
Raffle Tickets
Raffle tickets are a fantastic way to raise money. A benefit of raffle tickets is that you can offer them months before the event. A good idea is to place a raffle ticket flyer at each register and have your employees offer them with each purchase. You can decide what percentage of the raffle ticket will go to charity. Team up with other businesses to offer great raffle gifts such as hair cuts, vacations or restaurant gift certificates.
Coupons
Coupons are a good idea because you can make money and donate to charity. Some businesses offer a certain amount off purchases on Pink Day after the customer buys a coupon. For instance, you could offer a 20%-off coupon store-wide for a $5 donation to breast cancer awareness. You can also bring in new business and get new customers by offering special deals on Pink Day.
Donations
A good way to donate money to breast cancer awareness is to have a certain percentage of the day's sales going to the charity. A fun idea is to do this with items in your store that are pink (flowers, hanging baskets, lawn ornaments). Not only will your business help out a good cause, you will also be making money for your business.
Relay for Life
If you do not have enough time or energy to plan a Pink Day at your business, there are other ways that you can contribute. One of these is to participate in your local Relay for Life event. You and your employees can form a team and have all of the money raised go towards breast cancer awareness. Set up donation containers at the register in your store to make it convenient for customers to participate.
