In December 2008, at the request of Hurricane Pets Rescue
animal welfare organization, I created a Christmas tree
graphic with an
assortment of ornaments and gift boxes. When people donated
money, they would pick an ornament to display on the tree. The
organization created Paypal buttons to accept donations, sent out some
emails and soon that tree was full of ornaments!
Since that worked so well for them, I thought other organizations might
benefit, plus I thought a variety of promotions would make giving more
interesting. So, I've made an assortment of possible promotions:
the Christmas tree (each donation puts a different
ornament on the tree) (also separate Hannukah page for
Jewish donations); a summer tree (each donation puts an apple or bird
on the tree), a fall tree (each donation puts a fall leaf on the tree;
and two puzzles (each donation "turns over" a puzzle piece. Links
to the sample pages are in the left column below; links to the zipped
package that contains all the pieces for the promotion is in the right
column below.
You will need to (a) have a Paypal account (and/or provide a mailing
address) and (b) use a web editor to add appropriate text on the page,
add the images, and create the "alt" text that shows when a person
hovers over the image. A credit link back to CatStuff would be
appreciated, but is not required.
