Spotlight on This Months Check-In 4 Charity: Breast Cancer Research Foundation

This month with your help, we are supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The mission of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. The only way to achieve this goal is through research. Research is revolutionizing our understanding of cancer. Research is leading us to the core of this insidious disease. Research is transforming lives every day as women and men get the help they need. They believe research—and research alone—has the power to bring an end to cancer. They have more than 275 researchers urgently working on solutions to one of the world’s greatest problems.

Since their founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, they seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time.

Breast cancer knows no age, gender, or race. As the most common cancer in women worldwide and the second most common cancer overall, it remains a fact of life. The thousands of women and men suffering from breast cancer today depend on us. No institution can conquer this disease alone. Together, we can.

Increase Awareness About Your Check-in 4 Charity Membership

Check-in 4 Charity is a great product with very promising results, but one problem some members have is spreading the word about their membership. Unfortunately, unless your business and staff promote your Check-in 4 Charity membership, no one is going to know you’re company is involved. This is why we provide you with a startup kit containing all of the basic marketing materials you need to start spreading the news about your membership. If the tools we provide aren’t utilized and enhanced by your staff, you won’t be able to grow your membership to its fullest potential, leading you to miss out on connecting with thousands of potential new customers.

At Check-in 4 Charity, we want our members to succeed, so we’ve put together some helpful tips on how to increase awareness about your Check-in 4 Charity membership in your office and online!

Be Smart With Your Check-in 4 Charity Materials

When you join Check-in 4 Charity, you receive a startup kit with informative table tents, POS posters, and your digital display with a custom streaming digital slideshow giving your customers information on the charity of the month. You also receive a monthly social media graphic for you to use online as you see fit. With all of these wonderful materials, there is no reason you shouldn’t be getting a minimum of 100 check-ins a month. If you’re not getting the minimum check-ins per month, you may want to re-evaluate your material placement.

When your customer enters your office, they should instantly see a Check-in 4 Charity marketing material, whether it be a poster or the digital display. If nothing is noticeable within the first few glances around your office, you need to rearrange your materials.

Also, utilize office equipment that is within eye range of a customer. Update your screensavers with text such as, “You Check-in, We Donate” or “Ask us how your check-in makes a difference.” Using equipment for your membership awareness is easy, fast, and free.

Also, be sure to place table tents, POS posters, and other marketing materials in the busy areas of your office. Lobbies, exam rooms, bathrooms, the front desk, appointment desk, and areas used for photos are always a no-brainer.

Arm Yourself with Information
Every month we have a new charity that benefits from your customers check-ins. As you post about it online, it is to your company’s benefit to do a little research on the charity of the month. Knowing basic facts about the charity of the month will help you connect with that charity on a more personal level, as well as provide you with conversation topics when encouraging your customers to check-in, in order to generate donations for this charity. Get your staff together and go over the details about the charity and get them hyped up to make a difference. If your business is excited about helping the charity, your customers will be too.

Promote Your Membership Online 

Our staff provides you with a new informative social media graphic about the charity of the month every single month. This is a great way to introduce the charity of the month to your social media followers. But it doesn’t stop there. Post about your Check-in 4 Charity membership at least once or twice a week. Provide engaging content with more information and graphics about the charity and show your followers your company really does care. Encourage them to make a difference, and tag the charity on your status updates! There is so much you can do online, the limits really are endless.

Give Your Staff an Incentive
If your staff is not excited about this opportunity, then your customers won’t be either. Consider offering your staff an incentive to get them to remember to hype up your customers to check-in on Facebook. Set a monthly goal, and offer a staff lunch, gift cards, or something along those lines if the goal is met. Just like your customers need time to remember to check-in 4 charity, it will take your staff some time to remember to mention your membership to your customers.

If you have any questions or need help with your Check-in 4 Charity campaign, contact our office and speak with a representative from our social media department.

Encourage Customers To Check-In

Reminding customers to check-in on Facebook is a key to success for your Checkin4Charity.com membership. It’s important to remember the exposure on Facebook is great for your business, but we understand the big question is, how do you get customers to check-in?

Chances are most customers are armed with smartphones, and have an active Facebook account. As it takes only a few simple taps on the screen for them to check-in, getting them to do so can be a bit tricky at times. This is why we’ve provided you with the tools you need to get your customers to check-in. Our research shows that when customers see the digital display explaining that their check-in with help a charity of the month, a majority of customers will feel empowered to check-in to help make a difference. For those who don’t, you may want to provide an extended reminder. Here are a few ways you can increase the odds that your customers will take the small effort to check-in at your location.

Use Checkin4Charity.com Marketing Materials 
We’ve provided you with tools to help increase the number of check-ins at your business, now it’s time to use them. Make sure your digital display is placed in an area that will be seen by all of your patients. This display has scrolling details about the charity of the month, as well as encourages your customers to check-in.

Also, use your custom social media graphic to post on your current Facebook page and social media channels. Your social media channels are one of the best places to direct people to check-in, since you’re likely speaking to those who are avid social media users. You may want to also add this graphic to your website, or blog, for more exposure to those who may not be following you on social media.

Post Signage
As mentioned above, Checkin4Charity.com has provided you with the tools you need to help customers be reminded to check-in. Be sure to utilize the Checkin4Charit.com posters and table tents by strategically placing them in areas with the most foot traffic. If you would like extra posters or table tents, contact us. We are always happy to provide you with as many materials as needed.

Ask Your Patients to Check-in
Nothing is more effective than simply asking your customers to check-in for charity. Tell them about this new campaign your business has become involved with and encourage them to help your business make a difference.

Encourage Employees to Check-in
One way to get your check-in process moving along is to have your employees check-in. They have friends and family members on their Facebook page that will see the check-in by them, and consider doing so themselves.

Remind your own friends and family to check-in at your location too. When they’re visiting your location, ask them to check-in. Chances are, they will do so without hesitation.


Remember, now that you’ve partnered with Checkin4Charity.com we are here to support your business and guide you along the way. Your partnership with Checkin4Charity.com is a win for your business and for charity. It allows customers to know that they are making a difference in the world, and the community they live in.
