NASHVILLE – RetailROI (the Retail Orphan Initiative), established to raise awareness regarding the global orphan crisis and to provide lasting solutions for vulnerable children worldwide, today announced the launch of the RetailROI corporate logo program. By becoming a RetailROI sponsor, retailers and technology vendors can utilize the RetailROI logo and sponsorship as part of their marketing and networking strategies. The objective of the new program is to help spread the word about the retail industry’s support for orphans.
“The RetailROI logo program offers retailers, vendors and individuals the opportunity to publicly align themselves with the critical issues of orphan care, foster care and adoption support,” said Greg Buzek, founder and president of analyst firm IHL Group and co-founder of RetailROI. “The funds raised through the RetailROI logo program go directly to help charities that deliver hands-on support and care worldwide.”
The RetailROI logo program also allows companies to get their name in front of analysts and leading retailers. “During what is clearly a challenging economic climate, this type of sponsorship could be a very shrewd marketing investment”, added Buzek. “RetailROI has the support of nearly every major analyst firm and numerous large retailers. Participation will put our sponsors in very good company.”
The program has a variety of sponsorship opportunities that include various benefits detailed as follows;
Friendship Level: Corporate or individual donations from $1,000 to $4,999.
