So many people think that giving has to be in the form of monetary donations.

But as we've often shared in The Impact Insider, there are numerous ways to give beyond just money

An example of that is my good friends over at SwagBox.

I was introduced to Brad Rhodus about a year ago when someone recommended I check out his company, SwagBox, which specializes in promotional wear with a focus on giving back

📌 If you haven’t heard me say it before, adding a giving component makes it easier for someone to introduce you with a warm feeling and interesting feature.

Brad instantly won me over when he started talking about how he believes he can use his business to make a bigger impact.

Things like:
âś… Using sustainable products that save the planet
âś… Buying from companies that make impact themselves
âś… Hiring adults with disabilities to help pack orders
âś… Partnering with local adoption agencies to raise money and awareness

Nowhere in there does it say that he donates thousands of dollars!! (although he does do a lot of donations and in-kind work)

After exploring his website where he has his impact on the FRONT PAGE and hearing his passion about doing more good,

I knew my next order would be coming from him!

But it didn’t stop there.

Recently, we led a group of impact-driven entrepreneurs to Mexico and ordered all our swag from Brad.

And boy did he know how to capture the groups attention.

Inside EVERY water bottle we ordered they had these cards for all our members to see 🤯

Every one of our members opened up their water bottle and said the same thing…
“Wow - this is incredible…Can you make an intro to them so I can support them with my next order?”

That is the power of being BOLD and unapologetic with the impact you are making.
It stands out and makes people want to have more of it.

And it had NOTHING to do with donating money… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm proud that by ordering the necessary swag for our event, I helped employ an adult with disabilities and supported a company committed to providing eco-friendly and cleaner products.

âś… Congrats Swagbox, you just won over a lifetime customer!

TLDR:

  • Being an impact lead company can come in many different ways, not just monetary donations

  • Being unapologetic about your impact will win people over

  • High quality swag = more people wanting it

  • Go the extra mile with your clients and they will bring you all the business you ever need.
