Social Management Site iglued Announces New Community Fundraising Feature

July 21, 2010 - PRLog -- ATLANTA, GA – Iglued, a second-generation social management site that allows family and friends to communicate, stay connected and coordinate family life easily and securely, announced today the availability of its new fundraising feature. This new function enables teams, schools and group organizers to offer local businesses targeted, local, web-based advertising in exchange for sponsoring their activity.  Iglued’s new fundraising functionality can be seen in action at www.iglued.com, where users also can sign up to try iglued for free.

Before iglued, a recreational soccer team might approach a local sandwich shop to sponsor the team.  In exchange for their money, the sandwich shop would get their logo on the team tee-shirts and a plaque to hang on the wall.  The team members and their parents would see those logos for the two-month duration of the season and know that the local shop had made a contribution.  Now, using iglued’s fundraising feature, in place of the logo on the tee-shirt, the sandwich shop gets a banner ad that is targeted to local iglued users, stays in place for an entire year, and can be changed an unlimited number of times.

“I have been coaching youth sports teams in the Atlanta community for many years, and people are always looking for unique ways to raise money.  The iglued fundraising feature is simple for the group raising money and effective for the sponsor,” said Mike Mitchel.

“Iglued’s fundraising feature is ideal for sports teams, church groups, or schools. It gives you a lot more to offer potential sponsors.  That, combined with the ability to organize everything else for your group on iglued, makes it a win-win,” said Stephanie Frost of iglued.


What the Organization Gets:

1   80% of the ad funds goes directly to the group who secures the sponsor, and 20% covers the cost of listed the ad on iglued.  For instance, if the group sells a $100 ad, $80 goes straight to the group.
2   All of the features that make iglued an indispensible tool for managing your activities,    including messaging, calendars, volunteer sign-up and reporting, and pictures.

What the Sponsor Gets:

3   Their banner ad appears every time a group member logs into iglued, in a rotation with other group sponsors.
4   Their ad will be seen by anyone beyond the group signing into iglued from their city as part of that city’s regular rotation.
5   They can update their ad as many times as they like to reflect current specials or seasonal offers.
6   Their sponsorship means the ad will be displayed for one year, rather than just the months that the group is active.
