With companies like TOM’s out there now, businesses must start to think more socially to succeed. Who is going to buy a pair of shoes from journeys when they could buy one from toms for a similar price while donating one to a child in need at the same time? Social entrepreneurship is a huge thing now! I would highly encourage businesses to start thinking this way. If you can’t do a one for one type of deal, then think of something. Maybe you could emphasize how the employment is impacting lives, or you could weave in benefit events as a main part of you business. There is ALWAYS something that you can do to help out through your business, and I would even argue that it is a business owners duty to do so. No only is it a good thing to do but I can guarantee that if you implement something of this sort you are much more likely to do well in the business world! Go ahead and try… you will see!
