Local Business and Fans “Give Thanks” to a Non-Profit With Free Website

Oct. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Asbury, NJ October 29th, 2012:  PromoVerse, a new startup company which provides deals for local merchants right on shoppers smartphones, is giving five non-profits a veritable cornucopia of online awareness by launching a New Jersey-based contest this month.

Steven Chiocchi, the 25-year old founder of The Areli Group and creator of PromoVerse, is offering a free website makeover (a $4,000 value) to one of five non-profits. The winner will be determined by how many fans vote on Facebook for their favorite cause.

Says Chiocchi, “We’re not waiting for Thanksgiving to build a spirit of gratitude and community. We will select five local non-profits based on the relevance of their causes to our local market and the quality of their programs.” The participating Non-Profits are, NJ SPCA, Mom2Mom, We Are Change, Ultimate Allstars and Youth Empowerment Services. The four runners-up will still receive a significant discount on a website makeover and social media consulting this year.

“Many non-profits are looking for creative new ways to build awareness and find new donors and volunteers. PromoVerse is giving them a compelling reason to reach out to current and new supporters – without spending a dime!” continues Chiocchi.

The contest, which begins on October 29th works as follows:

·      All five non-profits will get a featured image on PromoVerse’s Facebook page

·      “Fans” of the non-profit can “like” the image to vote once and re-share it to get their friends to vote

·      If a voter downloads the PromoVerse app, and scans the non-profits QR code on the image, the non-profit will get three bonus votes.

The winner will be announced before Thanksgiving, just in time for celebration of community.
