How can I promote my cause, to get more backers?

Are you ready to shout Shop to Give from the rooftop?.... and let your backers know?

Shop to Give has an entire promotion center dedicated to helping you achieve this! Visit your promotion center on the left menu to find a ton of resources you can use and customize for your cause, including social media graphics, flyers, presentations for your board, and more! There are also several handy links to use to share your cause.
