OPERATION RAMP IT UP

Awareness Ties invites Flex Seal to be our Corporate Sponsor for SELFIE TO SUPPORT VETERANS, as we work to support our veterans with our interactive platform where the public is invited to share selfies and stories to raise awareness and funds.

With your sponsorship, we would like to support OPERATION RAMP IT UP. 
www.operationrampitup.com

Operation Ramp It Up provides mobility to military veterans, their family members, or ultimately anyone who may have a physical disability, by installing aluminum wheelchair ramps to their homes, when other traditional resources have been exhausted. They work to enrich the lives of the ramp recipients by raising the necessary funds, coordinating the volunteers to perform the service, and completing the installation process of the ramp.  

DON'T TELL THEM THAT YOU CARE.
SHOW THEM.

Stop paying for impressions.
Start making an impression with Selfie To Support™.
Connect with consumers by supporting their cause and yours.

​While some measure success based on ROI, 
​we see success based on ROG (Return On Giving).
Give to get a greater return.

​GET SEEN

​Show your brand's dedication
to consumers and their cause.
Start with the SELFIE to personally engage.
Continue with the MAGAZINE & BILLBOARD
​to publicly acknowledge.

THE SELFIE

Every branded selfie shared on social media will have Flex Seal named as the 'presenter'.
Partnering as our Corporate Sponsor, Flex Seal will have the ability to use any/all selfies and stories submitted.
When shared by Flex Seal, these personal photos and stories are powerful assets
for displaying a shared commitment and connection with consumers for supporting our veterans.
​ 

THE MAGAZINE

Awareness Ties will promote the campaign and acknowledge your support
​with a TWO-PAGE SPREAD in a monthly edition of AWARENOW MAGAZINE.
​www.awarenowmagazine.com
In partnership with Issuu, our publication receives an average of 16 million reads each month.
Click HERE to learn more about AwareNow Magazine.
We are here to support both veterans as our cause
​and Flex Seal as our partner in any and every way.

THE BILLBOARD

The BILLBOARD is optional and comes at an additional cost.
It allows you to publicly acknowledge and thank each and every participant with a quilt of selfies supporting the cause.
From the options we provide, choose the budget, length and location of the billboard(s).
If you decide to run a billboard, we will send another PERSONALIZED EMAIL to every participant with the image of the billboard they are featured in, 
along with a personal letter of thanks from Phil Swift.

​ 

​GET STARTED

STEP 1:
THE BUDGET

How much do you want to donate to Operation Ramp It Up?

​Set your maximum budget for support.
For the design and development required, we have a flat 20% platform fee that also allows us to promote the campaign and provide prizes for participants.

Here's an example:
If you commit to a $20K donation, your budget would be $24K.
You would make a donation to Operation Ramp It Up for $20,000,
and a platform fee of $4,000 to Awareness Ties.

STEP 2:
THE DONATION

How much would you like to donate for each photo submitted?

​We recommend a minimum of $5/photo.
​
Each participant who submits their photo will receive a personalized email with thanks
​and a notification that Flex Seal has made a donation on their behalf to Operation Ramp It Up.
Flex Seal can provide a personal statement of thanks with a link to a special gift or special offer.
​
​If we continue with the $20K donation example, this results in 4,000 selfies branded with Flex Seal,
resulting in 4,000 personal emails/offers to participants, with thanks for joining Flex Seal to support veterans.

STEP 3:
THE REWARD

Is there a reward you would like to offer participants if they share their photo?

This is an opportunity to support the campaign while supporting your brand and bottomline.
Reward participants again with an instant special offer just for sharing their selfie.
This offer can be a digital coupon of any kind.

From 'buy one get one' to a 'special discount code', or anything in between,
the choice is yours and incentivizes the participant to share, supporting the viral design of the campaign.
