Is Shoutback ready for prime time?
It’s that time of year - Girl Scout Cookie Fundraiser!
Mmmmm love me some Thin Mints.
While Girl Scout cookies are the one fundraiser I like my daughters’ doing, I get VERY annoyed by the rest, especially fundraisers by organizations for which we pay membership. Frankly, I’d rather pay an extra $20 than sell more gift wrap and nuts.
Internet marketing has opened some new frontiers for fundraising. For instance, Shoutback has an auction system that can be used for fundraising. Unfortunately, I can’t explain much more about Shoutback because they appear to be so new that information is hard to come by. According to the terms and conditions, it appears that you can purchase products through their website, and the affiliate marketing dollars are given to the organization for which you are raising funds.
I tried registering twice using different email addresses in the hope that there would be more information inside the website, but it’s over an hour later and I haven’t received the link to my account(s).
It’s a good idea and I know organizations like the PTO at my daughters’ school would really benefit from having 1,000 parents registered and making purchases through Shoutback, but I have to wonder if Shoutback is ready yet?
