Barack Obama

General Mills’ Box Top for Education
“…expects the program to raise more money this year than last , when it raked in $39 million. The initiative raised $250 million for public schools since it started…”
“When the economy is down , cause marketing let’s consumers give back by doing something they were always doing, buying cereal”
“When consumers engage in cause marketing, Mr. Peters said, it can ease the burden of charitable giving. “They [think] ‘I can write a check, but I don’t have to, because their cereal purchase diverts funds to public schools so they don’t have to open their wallet twice.” They can make their dollars go further, and that’s important for the consumer to be engaged.”
