Cause-Related Marketing
It is possible for your company can increase its sales by designating a
certain percent or amount of money from your products to the FishAmerica
Foundation. “Cause-related marketing” has a tested
and proven track record, and you may want to consider trying it to help
keep our nation’s fish and waters healthy.
Cause-related Marketing Quick Facts Proving that
Cause-related Marketing is a Win-Win
Unique, lasting relationships with industry and non-endemic companies
have allowed the foundation to continually promote on-the-ground restoration
and enhancement projects through the support of those who depend on it
the most. Through continued giving, these companies have made a
lasting impression on the sportfishing community as leaders in natural
resources conservation. The following companies donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale
of a product or group of products to the FishAmerica Foundation:
Pro Line Manufacturing—Pro Gear Waders
In 2001,
Pro Line Manufacturing began designating a percentage of its Pro Gear
wader sales to the FishAmerica Foundation—with an estimated
annual donation of $20,000 per year for FishAmerica. Sales have exceeded
expectations and FishAmerica has received more than $400,000.
The wader packaging provides information about FishAmerica and advises
customers their purchase will support the foundation’s work.
Pro Line Manufacturing’s donations support FishAmerica’s
efforts to improve sportfishing through fish population and habitat enhancement
and water quality improvement. These donations have funded many
conservation projects including the restoration of family fishing waters
in Ocean County, New Jersey; Dickinson, North Dakota; McAlester, Oklahoma;
and South Sioux City, Nebraska.
