As a small business owner, it is important to give back. Technology has made it very easy and effortless to donate money to great causes. In the wake of the tragedy in Haiti, there is a great opportunity to do good and help our neighboring nation. Not only will this foster a good reputation with your local community but it is for a worthy cause that needs help.
A few things you can do to help Haiti:
Include donation information on your website. A simple link for customers to donate money is a great way to help. Two trustworthy sites are Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and American Red Cross
Host a proceeds day. Choose a day or week where a percentage of your sales will go to a relief fund in Haiti. Advertise this through an email, on your website, or in your storefront. When the day(s) are over, you can send a donation for the amount to one of the above sites.
