Communities for Cause, Inc. Reaches Significant Milestone by Driving Over $2.0 Million in Sales
Huntington Beach, CA, March 30, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Communities for Cause, Inc. (CFC) is excited to announce it has surpassed $2M in sales driven to its restaurants and merchants on its CFC ENGAGE MOBILE platform. The platform features businesses willing to donate a percentage of sales to their customers’ nonprofits of choice via a mobile app. In return, nonprofits market the platform to their supporters and encourage them to dine and shop with CFC businesses.
As Gary Allhusen, CFC co-founder and CEO, describes, “Our platform is a full-feature cause marketing and analytics solution for the restaurant industry. While the $2M in merchant sales is a great milestone to surpass, I’m most excited by the fact that we’ve demonstrated a 23% lift in restaurant sales from our supporters compared to a restaurant’s average ticket. We have an incredible platform providing huge benefits to all our constituents.”
CFC ENGAGE MOBILE allows restaurants to track and measure definitive returns on their charitable giving, replacing the uncertain returns around traditional “giveback nights” and direct donations to community organizations.
“It’s a simple use case,” explains CEO Allhusen. “Restaurants sign up with CFC to connect with hundreds of nonprofits, track their charitable giving and measure their ROI in the form of repeat visits, sales from that nonprofit and ticket uplift. The restaurant uses CFC to optimize its mix of charitable and other promotional offers.”
The CFC platform, which was initially launched in Orange County, CA, features over 1,200 local merchants and 50 online retailers offering up to a 15 percent donation to supporters of hundreds of nonprofits.
