Breast Cancer Bandwagon

Look at all the pink ribbon breast cancer awareness products my sister Kay and her daughter Mandy found at Wal*Mart in Ohio . . .


This practice of using traditional commercial marketing to sell products and address a social issue at the same time is becoming more common, and I love it.


For-profit companies advertise for and contribute a percentage of sales to a nonprofit organization. The company makes sales and generates positive publicity, and the nonprofit raises awareness and gets contributions.

Everybody wins--the company, the consumer, and the cause.

Hmmm.

What do you think of Harvest M&M's?

I think they've got something here!
