Why it’s a good idea to give back to people?

  • You can see the pure joy that can people can have even they have nothing
  • Humbling and amazing to watch and see the impact that others are willing to help

How the 5 Day Deal helped the less fortunate:

  • Last year donated to 4 organizations
    • Flashes of Hope
    • Camp Smile a Mile
    • Boma Project
    • Help Portrait
  • Donated around $220,000 during the sale & raised a total of $250,000

How giving back makes you a better person:

  • Help you with personal budgeting
  • Shows you true joy does not come from owning things
  • Starts you thinking if you all need all those material things
  • Inspires you to give more

How giving back can help your business:

  • If you give or donate a certain percentage it will help you decide to spend less for your business and be more budget conscious
  • It helps you realize by giving and partnering with organizations you see how much less other people have
  • It gives you a different perspective to focus on what you really need for yourself and for your business to be successful
  • People will have a good impression on you if they learned that you’re helping some charities
  • It will draw more attention to the customers if a percentage of your sale will go to the charities

How to find charities to partner with:

  • It’s not easy if these organizations are all doing amazing things
  • We only need to select 4 since we don’t want to overwhelm the people
  • They do get to choose where their portion goes
  • Choose who we think can help the most
  • Choose the biggest impact

What can you do to give back?

  • As a photographer you have a unique skill set to take portraits of people
  • As a photographer you have retouching skills and we can share like teaching another photographer
  • There a lot of different ways to help by giving that does not involve with money
  • You can volunteer on teaching photography at schools
