Question:
Social Outreach, Email Lead Generation and Cause Marketing?
Answer:
A new experiment by The Emerging Communications Conference.
My new friend Lee S. Dryburgh first approached me about the idea by telling me he had an idea for an experiment. His idea would help garner registration for the conference he is organizing, while at the same time do some social good; what could be bad about that!
I told him I loved the idea and that I would rely his efforts on to my community--so I am.
Here is how it works:
The goal is to achieve 10,000 sign-ups to the conference updates. For everyone who signs up for conference updates, eComm Media will pay 0.50 cents to The Shelter Network (charity watchdog rating here).
