Spokane, WA, February 18, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Philanthropic Social Media Ad Platform available for download in both iOS and Android today.
CharityCheckin, a micro-donation platform that uses smartphone checkins and social media Word-of-Mouth advertising to drive donations and awareness for Charities and foot-traffic and engagement for Brands, was selected as a member of the 2016 Spring Class by Ignite Northwest Accelerator program in Spokane, WA.
The Ignite Northwest Accelerator program, now in its second year, has a vision for the Inland Northwest to expand as a hub for science, health and technology—to bring innovative companies together in collaboration as part of an ecosystem that cultivates and develops businesses in the region.
“We’re very excited to be chosen as a member of Ignite Northwest’s Spring class, and have the opportunity to further integrate CharityCheckin into the region’s vibrant entrepreneurial community,” said Marsh Sutherland, CEO/Founder of CharityCheckin. “Our goal is to create the world’s largest giving platform, while providing our Sponsor Brands with a way to engage their consumers in a most personal way. Ignite’s access to valuable resources will enable us to get closer to realizing that goal.”
“Just as Amazon Smile rewards loyalty for its customers thru micro-donations, our platform does the same for brick & mortar brands where 92% of purchases are still made,” added Chuck Ball, CMO/Founder of CharityCheckin. “And research shows that 2 out of 3 consumers purchased a product or service in 2014 because it supported a good cause, especially true amongst Moms & Millennials. Our platform makes it easy for consumers to support the Brands that support them.”
The CharityCheckin smartphone platform enables:
1. Charities to gain awareness, engagement and year-round donations, dramatically improving both the reach and ROI of their existing marketing efforts.
2. Brands/Retailers to drive foot-traffic and brand affinity by supporting the causes that matter most to their consumers, thus personalizing and socializing the engagement.
3. Consumers to gain support for causes that are personal to them through a frictionless checkin and social media post process.
