One of the most compelling is Growing Up Girl , the story of Monica, a 10-year-old girl living in Kenya. Guest blog by H. James, MBA. Marketing for the nonprofit sector has different end goals than marketing for business. While nonprofits must still meet financial goals in order to survive, the goal of their marketing campaigns is to build relationships. People do not donate, volunteer their time, or make any other kind of contribution if they do not feel a connection to a nonprofit.

So far the Smile Squared toothbrushes have landed with kids in Central America, Mexico, Haiti, Kenya, Cambodia, India and the Philippines. If you sell consumables… food, drink, shoes, jeans, etc… to the public you’d be wise to think about cause marketing. Here’s why; most of us will only buy a handful of washing machines or refrigerators… what economists call 'durables'… in our lives. By contrast, we’re constantly replacing the non-durables or ‘soft goods.’

Lives I might have helped save had I been a better consultant to the handgun control movement.

The second episode, featured here, takes Greg and Austin inside a hut in Kenya to experience what more than 3 billion women and children experience every day cooking on traditional cook stoves inside their huts. If you work for a good cause, you know how hard it is to tell your story in a way that does justice to the needs you face and the miracles you make. But you have to find a way to do this well, because a nonprofit without a great story is like a novel with no plot.
