Marketing Toolkit for Charities

About the Toolkit

Thank you for joining Xspero™, the innovative app that helps charities earn monetary donations through partnerships with merchants and the community.

This toolkit is to promote your participation with Xspero™. It includes a sample press release, digital badges, hard copy signage, email examples, and more to share with your supporters.

Xspero™ was founded on one simple principle: better your community. Our business model allows every participant to benefit, but most importantly, for every participant to give. We provide a platform which is redefining society’s social-giving culture because Giving Feels Good™.

A little makes a large impact with Xspero™. If you persuade 100 supporters to spend $25 through the app each month, your organization raises $6,000 year.

Or better, if 100 people each spend $100 per month through the app, your organization receives $24,000 a year! There is no limit for what your organization can achieve with Xspero™. We encourage you to utilize all aspects of the toolkit in promoting your participation with Xspero™. If you have any questions or further needs, you can reach us through the Contact Xspero™ page located at the end of the toolkit.

Thank you,
The Xspero™ Team

Social Media Tips

It’s best to post on social media when you know your followers are online. While it can depend on who your audience is, tools like Facebook’s Insights can help you determine what time they log in and check their accounts.

Be sure to post a few times, not just once. You don’t need to create the same post every single day, but a schedule is recommended:

  1. Initial Announcement Post
  2. In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) Post (3 to 4 days later)
