A thriving workplace should be built on a foundation of engaged employees who are passionate about their work and connected to their colleagues. 

We’ve pulled together a list of actionable strategies to help your business create a strong and thriving culture of success:
 
Foster Open Communication
Best practices include encouraging open communication channels within your entire organization. Make sure to regularly solicit feedback from your employees and create opportunities where they can share their thoughts freely.

Recognize and Reward Achievements
​Recognition can be a powerful motivator. Celebrate both individual and team success to boost morale and encourage a culture of appreciation.
ACTION ITEM: Establish an employee recognition program with monthly awards, public acknowledgments, and tangible rewards like gift cards or extra days off.
At Big Deal Company, we’ve implemented our own system of recognition with monthly “Woot, Woots” for exemplary work, “BIG Brags” on social media, and our yearly “Biggie Awards” (think Dundee’s from The Office).

Promote a Healthy Work-Life Balance
A healthy work-life balance is crucial for employee well-being. Ensure your policies support employees in balancing their professional and personal lives.
ACTION ITEM: Offer flexible working hours, and remote work options, and promote the use of vacation days to help employees refresh and recharge.

ACTION ITEM: Plan regular team outings, workshops, and socials! Consider activities like escape rooms, cooking classes, or volunteer days that require teamwork and collaboration.

Mental health days, and workshops on stress management and healthy living.
 
Enhance Onboarding and Orientation Programs
Strong onboarding programs can set the ton for a new employee. They help them integrate smoothly into company culture and sets them up for success!
ACTION ITEM: Develop a comprehensive and thorough onboarding process that includes mentorships, detailed training, and a robust welcome from the entire team.

2. Knowledge Exchange: Networking allows for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and industry insights. Learning from others and staying informed can give your business a competitive edge.

​As an events and marketing company committed to supporting nonprofits, we understand the critical role sponsorships play in the success of your events. Securing sponsorships not only provides financial support but also cultivates partnerships that amplify your cause, expand your reach, and provide opportunity for future support.
 
The current sponsorship climate is challenging: We’re seeing fewer sponsors at lower amounts and fewer donations. To help you boost sponsorships for your nonprofit events, we've curated some innovative strategies designed to elevate your sponsorship game.

​Tailored Partnership Packages
Craft personalized sponsorship packages that align with each sponsor's values and objectives. Highlight the unique ways their support can make a tangible impact on your cause.

Specific Perks vs. Vague Labels
Avoid themed sponsorship levels like “lion” vs. “jaguar” or “cultivator” vs. “planter” – these terms don’t convey meaning or hierarchy to potential sponsors. Today’s savvy sponsors want straightforward explanations of their return on investment. If you stick with the traditional silver, gold, and platinum sponsorship tiers, remember to list tangible benefits.
 
Sponsorship tiers tied to one aspect of your event are increasingly popular. For example, a “bar sponsor” may invest $5,000 to sponsor your event’s bar in exchange for branded cocktails named after your sponsor and customized napkins and bar signage featuring the sponsor’s logo.

A 'safety sponsor' may support your festival with an investment to be the sole naming sponsor for the ride share pick up area and water station.

Providing exposure and value are of utmost importance.
 
Enhanced Digital Presence
Leverage the power of digital platforms to showcase sponsor visibility. Develop engaging content, such as sponsor spotlights, behind-the-scenes glimpses, or dedicated social media campaigns, highlighting sponsors' contributions and involvement.
 
Collaborative Experience Opportunities
Create opportunities for sponsors to actively engage with event attendees. Interactive booths, sponsored activities, or workshops aligned with sponsors' expertise can deepen attendee interaction and leave a lasting impression. Encourage sponsors to share their knowledge or products in ways that enrich the event experience.

Impactful Storytelling
Craft compelling narratives that emphasize the shared values between your nonprofit and potential sponsors. Showcase real stories of impact, illustrating how sponsorships directly contribute to making a difference in the community. Personalized storytelling can create an emotional connection and resonate deeply with potential sponsors. Effective brand storytelling enhances nonprofit marketing efforts.
 
Data-Driven Insights
Utilize data analytics to demonstrate the tangible returns on investment for sponsors. Provide post-event reports showcasing key metrics, attendee demographics, and engagement insights. Show your sponsors how many monthly visitors will see their logo on your website or how many followers will see your social media post thanking them for supporting your mission.
 
Concrete data illustrating the reach and impact of their sponsorship can attract and retain sponsors for future events.
 
Year-Round Engagement
Establish ongoing communication with sponsors beyond the event. Offer year-round partnership opportunities that extend beyond event day. This could include exclusive networking events, co-branded campaigns, or acknowledgment in regular newsletters to maintain the relationship and demonstrate ongoing value. Don’t miss out on potential year-round donors who may prefer a long-term partnership to a single event investment.
 
Sustainable and Ethical Branding
Showcase how your event aligns with sponsors' corporate social responsibility goals. Incorporate eco-friendly practices, ethical sourcing, or charitable initiatives that resonate with sponsors who prioritize social impact.

Innovative sponsorships thrive on creativity, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both your nonprofit's mission and your potential sponsors' needs. By implementing these strategies, you can cultivate meaningful partnerships that go beyond financial support, creating a lasting impact and expanding the reach of your cause.

At BIG DEAL Company, we're dedicated to helping nonprofits elevate their events and secure impactful sponsorships. Contact us today to explore how we can collaborate to make your next event a resounding success.

​The end of the year is not just a time for holiday festivities and celebrations - it’s also a critical period for nonprofits. It is so critical, that on average, nonprofits raise 26% of their annual revenue in December!
 
A well-executed year-end campaign can set the tone for the upcoming year and provide essential resources for the organization. Nonprofit organizations must pay attention to their fundraising targets during this crucial time. Slash 26% out of anyone’s budget, and the results would be dire!
 
So, what makes an end-of-year campaign a hit and successful? BIG DEAL Company has led multiple successful end-of-year campaigns, and here is what we have found to be some key elements for success:

​Donor-Centric Approaches
It is always helpful to remember that your donors are the heroes. Successful campaigns pull donors along on a journey, showing how their contributions make a difference. Donors like to see their dollars at work and feel like they are making a difference.
 
Lifting up donors during an end-of-year campaign is also key. Personalized thank-you notes and shout-outs on social media can go a long way in making your supporters feel loved and appreciated.

​Multi-Channel Outreach
You need to have a plan to meet your donors where they are. Gone are the days of a single end-of-year mailer or newsletter. Organizations must utilize social media, emails, as well as direct mailers to get their message across. If your organization has an advertising budget, the end-of-year giving season might be the right time to consider purchasing ad space or mailing lists as a way to broaden your audience reach. Different platforms engage people in different ways, so find out what your audience likes and meet them where they are!
 
Create a Communications Plan
Once you have found where your audience receives information, it is vital to set up a communications plan. Prepping your donors well in advance can drastically improve your end-of-year fundraising results. This can be done through emails and social media posts. Prepping communication does not have to ask for money. It just has to serve as a reminder of who you are and what problem you solve. Prepping communication is consistent, engaging, and strategic.

​Transparency
Be open about how the funds will be used. People want to see how their hard-earned money and generosity are making real and tangible impacts.
 
Create Urgency
The clock is ticking and the year is ending!
Create a sense of urgency by taking advantage of pre-planned giving days like #GivingTuesday, or in Northern Colorado, #ColoradoGivesDay.
Build excitement and engagement with a countdown or milestones, encouraging people to act now, rather than later.

​It’s A Match!
According to research from Double the Donation, 84% of donors are more likely to give if they know that their contributions will be matched[1]. 1 in 3 donors indicate that they would give a large gift if matching is applied to their donation[2].
Donors feel that they make a more significant impact on your organization and its cause when they can see their dollars doubled in real-time.
 
Matching Donations can be leveraged by a major donor-matching gift, crowdsourcing matching gifts, or employee/corporate matching gifts. Once you have a plan for a matching gift, it is important that it is communicated clearly with your followers to achieve the greatest impact.

​Follow-Up
Once the campaign is over, don’t forget to let everyone know how it went. Celebrate the successes and be honest about the areas where there could be some improvement.
 
It’s also important to be clear with your gratitude. Have a clear plan for how your organization will thank donors at every level - new donors, large donors, small donors, match donors, corporate donors. Giving thanks increases the chances of donors coming back and donating again, setting the foundation for strong and positive relationships.
 
Remember, every donation - big or small - gets you one step closer to your mission’s success. It’s not just about the money - it’s about building a community that shares your values and vision.

With our proven strategies and experience, we specialize in turning a mission into a compelling story that resonates with donors. We work with organizations to set clear fundraising goals, we design and create engaging multimedia content, and we optimize multi-channel outreach. We also provide robust analytics to help you track campaign performance in real time. Consider working with our team of professionals for your next end-of-year fundraising campaign.

​The art of storytelling has emerged as a powerful tool for small businesses to effectively market their products or services. Storytelling in marketing simply means using a story, or narrative, to communicate your message to your audience. Read on to find out how brand storytelling can enhance your small business marketing.

Creating Emotional Connections
Storytelling is a means of connecting with your audience as you exchange information with them. It makes business communications relatable and memorable. When done well, it creates an emotional connection to your brand.
 
Emotions play a vital role in decision-making, and storytelling is a powerful tool to evoke emotions in your audience. Through compelling narratives, small businesses can evoke a range of emotions, such as joy, empathy, or inspiration. When customers emotionally connect with a brand, they are more likely to remember it and choose it over competitors.
Sharing stories about how the business positively impacted a customer's life or helped them overcome a challenge creates a strong emotional bond. Testimonials and case studies are excellent examples of storytelling that showcase real-life experiences and the emotional connection a customer has with a product or service.

Encouraging Engagement
Engagement is crucial for the success of any marketing strategy, and storytelling helps in fostering a sense of community among customers. By sharing stories and encouraging customers to share their own experiences, small businesses can create a network of engaged customers who actively support and promote the brand.
Utilizing social media platforms to share stories and encourage discussions allows businesses to connect with their audience in a more interactive and engaging way.

​Humanizing Your Brand
One of the fundamental ways storytelling enhances small business marketing is by humanizing the brand. Sharing stories about the people behind the business, their struggles, triumphs, and motivations – when appropriate – helps to create a genuine and personal connection with the audience. It transforms a faceless entity into a relatable and empathetic one, ultimately fostering trust and loyalty.
For example, sharing a story about the founder's passion for the business and how it all began can resonate with customers who appreciate the dedication and hard work that went into building the brand.

Building Trust
Genuine authenticity and trust play crucial roles in the realm of marketing. When customers have confidence in your brand, they're inclined to engage with your business, advocate for your offerings, and foster enduring brand loyalty over time.
 
Establishing trust with your target audience hinges on delivering an authentic message. Your brand narrative should remain faithful to your true identity, avoiding fabrication or exaggeration. Transparency and authenticity signal your brand's commitment to honesty and openness in its operations, cultivating customer confidence and reinforcing their connection with your brand.
 
Yielding Better ROI
Storytelling harnesses the profound influence of human emotions, rendering your brand more relatable and dependable. We tend to choose brands we are familiar with, fond of, and trust. Consequently, brand storytelling yields a superior return on investment.
Customers relish the opportunity to see themselves as heroes or trendsetters, significantly increasing their likelihood of choosing your brand over those that unabashedly self-promote.

 
By humanizing the brand, creating emotional connections, establishing a unique identity, educating the audience, and fostering engagement, storytelling can significantly enhance small business marketing. In today's competitive business landscape, storytelling has emerged as a vital tool for small businesses to connect with their audience on a deeper level.

​In a world where attention spans are shrinking, and competition is fiercer than ever, capturing the attention of your target audience is a monumental challenge. We understand the significance of creating excitement around your brand, products, or services. Read on for seven ways to generate buzz for your small business.
 
Why is generating buzz so crucial for small businesses, you may wonder? Beyond merely attracting customers, it cultivates brand loyalty, fosters word-of-mouth marketing, and amplifies your online and offline presence.
 
Word-of-mouth marketing relies on MEANINGFUL connections – people who had a great experience with your product or service, other small business owners seeking mutual support, and customers who return again and again. Here’s how to create and foster those meaningful connections.

Create Loyal Customers
 
Creating loyal customers starts with providing a top-notch experience. A good reputation and community trust are essential for a small business, so aim to deliver excellence every time. Focus on what you do best, and deliver it to get people talking. Solicit feedback (good or bad) from customers, to figure out where you excel and learn from your mistakes.

Network with Other Business Owners
 
Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart, and most small businesses will happily support yours. Join local chambers and in-person or online groups for resources. Build mutually beneficial relationships with other businesses related to yours; Maybe they can recommend clients to you in exchange for a small discount, and vice versa.
 
Industry influencers are people who are viewed as experts in your industry. Endorsement from anyone with a stellar reputation, established following and loyal clientele is priceless. Look for ways you can connect with industry influencers, whether it’s a handshake at an industry event or interacting with their content on social media.
 
Follow Up
 
Good service doesn’t end when a purchase is complete or a contract fulfilled. No customer or client wants to feel like a number on your business’s balance sheet. Good follow-up can create loyal customers and give you feedback you can use to promote your business. Consider:

• Sending a thank-you note, a small complimentary item, or even a thank-you gift after a large purchase
• Surveying your customers’ experience with your company
• Requesting a happy customer write an online review and tell their friends about your business
• Asking for an endorsement from a high-profile client
• Following up on a positive review by thanking the customer for their patronage; OR following up on a negative review by addressing the customer’s concerns directly
• Send e-newsletters with promotions for your business, industry news, and helpful tips or entertaining articles to customers who have purchased from you before

​Provide Incentives
 
When your business is new or feels stagnant, you may need to provide incentives to get positive word-of-mouth going. A little bribery goes a long way in getting people to try out your products and services (so they can tell others how amazing their experience was!)
 
Even satisfied customers need a nudge sometimes. Offer a discount on a future purchase or a free small product in exchange for a review on Google or a shoutout on social media. For certain businesses, a referral program can be a great way to find new clients while rewarding current customers for spreading the word about your services.
 
Use Social Media (effectively)
 
Social media allows you to keep your business at the forefront of potential customers’ minds when you publish quality content on a regular schedule. However, to get the most out of it, you need to engage with your audience.
 
Platforms like Facebook give you the ability to target specific audiences who may find your product or service useful with paid advertisements. We see many small businesses make the mistake of trying to save a few dollars by not promoting their content on social media. We encourage small business owners to think of this spending as an investment, where a few dollars a month could mean tens of thousands of people learning about your business.
 
To build meaningful relationships on social media, engage with those who engage with your business. Respond to messages right away. Engage with comments on your posts. If another business gives you a shoutout, feature it on your page, and return the favor. Interact with other businesses in your industry through groups and by following their pages and engaging with posts to show your support.
 
Host an Event
 
Any time it makes financial sense to host a small event for your business – whether it’s a ribbon cutting, grand opening, new product launch, rebranding, holiday party, or customer appreciation cocktail hour – do it! Seeing potential and current customers in person gives you the chance to make a lasting impression, and a memorable event is something they will associate with your business forever.
 
In addition, events give you the opportunity to build anticipation and create a conversation about your business online and in print leading up to the event. Certain business events are promoted and/or covered by local chambers, downtown business associations, business publications, and news outlets, giving you valuable advertising for your business.

Give Back
 
Make your small business visible by getting out in your community. Sponsor a nonprofit event to get your name and logo out there, have your team spend a day volunteering with a local organization instead of sitting in the office, or even host your own fundraising event for a cause.
 
Not only does giving back in your community increase your business’s visibility, it tells your audience what’s important to you and differentiates you from your competition. More than ever, Americans are supporting businesses that champion social causes.
 
Whether you're a budding entrepreneur launching your dream venture or an established small business looking to revitalize your presence, our team of diverse, seasoned marketing experts has got you covered.
 
At Big Deal Company, we have a passion for empowering small businesses to reach their fullest potential, because we believe every client is a big deal.

Running a small business is hard work! Small business owners tend to wear many
hats: project manager, logistics manager, operations manager, human resources
department, and often times, marketing manager. That is a lot to maintain and
control!

Marketing mistakes and pitfalls often occur due to the fact that so many small
business owners aren’t confident in their marketing skills and they are simply just
spread too thin. Marketing mistakes won’t necessarily ruin your business, but
they do sometimes cost time and money.

The Big Deal team recently pulled together a list of common marketing mistakes
that we have noticed clients and potential clients make. Our team has over 127
years of marketing experience - we’ve seen it all! Hopefully this list will help your
small business avoid or correct potentially costly mistakes.

Tiffany Dinsmore
Manager, Magic Maker
 
One of my personal strengths is the ability to remain calm and think things through when a problem arises, rather than panic. I have the ability to remain level-headed and solve problems behind the scenes, relieving stress and worry for our clients and bringing them joy. ​

Katie Patterson
Director, Community Wizard
 
I absolutely love to problem solve. The moment something inevitably goes wrong and we are able to quickly solve the issue is so rewarding. Sometimes the client comes to us with a problem and is beyond grateful we were there to solve it (day of or in the days before an event). But many times the client isn’t even aware of the issue and sees everything running smoothly. In both cases, problem-solving truly brings me joy! ​

Sarah Biekert
Manager, Punctuation Prodigy
 
I am a perfectionist. When I’m working, every detail matters, because my goal is to make our client’s vision come to life. Whether it’s someone’s wedding or a small business client, my favorite thing is when a client walks into their event space or sees marketing materials we’ve prepared and says, “Wow,” with a smile on their face.

​Amanda Sammartino
Manager, Marketing Maven
 
I'm not afraid to ask the tough questions to help identify barriers to success. I also use my fundraising background to help create materials that will anticipate donor questions.

Carrie Rose Brennan
Manager, Content Queen
​
My personal joy comes from the visual arts and photography. One way I express joy and share it with others is through my photography. My photography seeks to see things from a new perspective: capturing patterns and ratios, the play of light, and of course the product for our customers.
I have worked on thousands of websites and use my skill of recognizing patterns to make great user-friendly websites for customers. When I design a website, I try to make it as user-friendly as possible as well as having the overall design capture the aesthetic and ethos of the company. ​

Marissa Rogers
​Exceptional Event Expert
​
One of my strengths is learning the little things that are most important to my clients, and my attention to detail. Sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest impact by featuring those details in an event. I look out for those little, surprise "wow" moments and how I can incorporate them into an event to make it really personalized and special.
