FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-04
Summary
The FlipGive platform has found success in connecting national retailers with local fundraising groups to help drive sales. Local businesses have the same need for growth and in controlled tests have shown higher performance than their national counterparts; this is due to the fact that community fundraisers prefer to engage in businesses in their community.
However, acquiring and engaging local businesses presents a scalability issue for a startup. The following project presents a solution to this scale problem by enabling local fundraising groups to engage local businesses just like they do in traditional fundraising - by simply inviting the small business owner to get up and running on the FlipGive platform, so they can shop & promote to their supporter networks.

Description
The FlipGive platform has found success in connecting national retailers with local fundraising groups to help drive sales. Local businesses have the same need for growth and in controlled tests have shown higher performance than their national counterparts; this is due to the fact that community fundraisers prefer to engage in businesses in their community.
However, acquiring and engaging local businesses presents a scalability issue for a startup. The following project presents a solution to this scale problem by enabling local fundraising groups to engage local businesses just like they do in traditional fundraising - by simply inviting the small business owner to get up and running on the FlipGive platform, so they can shop & promote to their supporter networks.
Description (French)
La plate-forme FlipGive a réussi à connecter les détaillants nationaux à des groupes de collecte de fonds locaux pour stimuler les ventes. Les entreprises locales ont le même besoin de croissance et les tests contrôlés ont montré des performances supérieures à celles de leurs homologues nationaux. Cela est dû au fait que les collecteurs de fonds communautaires préfèrent s'engager à des entreprises de leur communauté. Cependant, l'acquisition et l'engagement d'entreprises locales posent un problème d'évolutivité pour une entreprise de démarrage. Le projet suivant présente une solution à ce problème en permettant aux groupes de collecte de fonds locaux d’engager les entreprises locales comme ils le font dans la collecte de fonds traditionnelle - en invitant simplement le propriétaire de petite entreprise à s'abonner à sur la plate-forme FlipGive, pour qu’ils puissent promouvoir et magasiner à leurs réseaux de soutien.
