Make Waves Marketing, Inc. on the Benefits of Giving Back

Make Waves Marketing, Inc.'s team is known for its dedication to helping brands raise awareness in the marketplace. What many people don't realize is that the interactive marketing firm is also committed to helping the community.

​Jennifer, Make Waves Marketing, Inc.’s director of operations, describes her philosophy regarding philanthropy. “As a person and as a business leader, I realize it’s important to give back to the communities in which we live and work,” she said. “The same people who support our businesses are also our neighbors and friends. Anything we can do as volunteers helps make Bountiful a better place to live.”

It’s not just the community that benefits when companies give back. As Jennifer noted, the Make Waves Marketing, Inc. team also reaps rewards for their efforts. “We grow as people when we volunteer,” she said. “We grow as a team. It’s hard not to build stronger relationships when you’re working together to promote a greater good. You see different sides to colleagues, especially when they’re touched by what a difference they’ve made in the lives of others. It’s far different from any other experience. There’s a level of satisfaction that can’t be quantified.”

"This is critical if you want to really make a difference,"

Make Waves Marketing, Inc. Shares Tips for Philanthropic Goal Planning

Jennifer shared that the Make Waves Marketing, Inc. team approaches their philanthropic efforts in the same manner they approach company goals. “We have a specific plan in mind when we participate in giving back,” she noted. “We start by gaining support from our team for whatever charitable organization we’ll be helping. As with all visions, it’s important to have enthusiastic buy-in if you want to succeed.”

Next, the team establishes specific goals for their giveback activities. “This is critical if you want to really make a difference,” Jennifer explained. “For example, if you’re helping with a food drive, you need to set a goal for the number of canned goods you want to collect. Have a final number and deadline for collection, then break that number into smaller milestones. Track your progress and celebrate each victory. You can set measurable objectives for pretty much every type of volunteer effort.”

“The most important thing to remember is WHY you’re doing this activity,” Jennifer said, imparting a final piece of advice. “Yes, you’re helping promote your company’s image within the community. You and your team feel great afterward. However, it’s those whose lives you’ve touched who matter most. That is what philanthropy is all about.”
