Pay It Forward

Green Me Locally has exciting news to share with you all. We are launching our national Green Business Pay It Forward campaign. The team was inspired to put this together after partnering together with Positive Impact Magazine and a small group of successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists. The idea behind this campaign is to assist small eco-friendly/health & wellness type businesses and organizations with their marketing efforts.

Many times, small businesses do not account for or put enough funds for these costs into their yearly budgets. A company may offer quality products and services, but if they do not advertise, people don’t always know they exist. Green Me Locally would like to assist in offering an extra tool for them to use in their marketing plans.

In the spirit of paying it forward to local businesses around the country, we hope that those that receive our gift will keep it going and give back to their local communities and charities. Can’t decide where you can pay it forward? Here is a list of some of our top places to give back to.

Inspiration and Motivation This campaign is designed to motivate and inspire others and keep positivity flowing. We would love to hear your stories of how you paid it forward so we can share it on our website. Send us your story here.

What are we paying forward? Green Me Locally will start the chain of giving. We will gift all qualified eco-friendly/sustainable and health and wellness businesses an advanced level listing in our national business directory for one year. ($175 value). Our business directory serves as a resource for consumers who are looking to find products and services that are good for the environment and their health.

Who Qualifies? All businesses and or non-profit organizations that fall under the categories of eco-friendly, sustainable or heath & wellness. The Green Me Locally team will review all business listing submissions to make sure they align with our mission.

Where do I sign up? Please send us an email at info@GreenMeLocally.com. In the subject line, please enter Pay It Forward. Provide your name and contact details so we can reach you and get started today. The team will also be seeking out these kinds of businesses in a city near you to share the love. It is just that easy! If you personally know of an organization or company that needs our help, send this along to them.
