Three cheers for the nearly 100 @New_Members who plunged into the SMP clan over the last week. :rocket: :metal: :boom:

It’s the end of October, which means :ghost: :jack_o_lantern: and introducing yourself all around town while costumed – we aren’t going to make you wear a costume, but we’d love it if you’d ring our doorbell.

Here’s how – share:

1. Who you are
2. Your job/role in social
3. Where you are located
4. Something you chat to talk about

Happy Halloween and we can’t wait to meet you!!! :tada: :taco: :ping_pong:

Hidy Ho, SMP neighbors!

I’m Roger Burnett, rajabee to many, soGOODRaja by day, leading the charge to keep our clients branded merch/swag/promotional products (whatever title you assign to the stuff bearing your company logo) OUT of landfills.

I founded Social Good Promotions in 2019 with a strong dose of inspiration that came from my role as co-founder of PromoCares back in 2018. PromoCares is a branded-merch industry initiative dedicated to elevating the perception of our marketing medium in comparison to other advertising spend, and we’ve been championing the efforts of those in our marketplace focused on an objective beyond profit ever since. It was in those go-go early years of PromoCares that I realized how little and at the same time how much our marketing medium can provide in terms of value, when done well, when done in conjunction with other forms of marketing, when it’s not an “oh crap, we need some merch, somebody buy something” kind of reactionary purchase.

We’ve pulled off some amazing things in the 5 years since we started PromoCares, and it was in the sessions with my co-collaborators that I planted the seeds that became soGOOD Promo in 2019. While my clothes and my family are found just north of Ann Arbor, MI, we travel the US in our converted Sprinter van for weeks at a time, traveling the country connecting with others seeking ways to use their businesses to make the world a better place, documenting it all and sharing the highlights on our numerous social media channels dedicated to those efforts. (PS - I manage all those channels along with my day job as our primary salesperson for the company, no small feat for a non-digital native!)

I love talking about big ideas, exploring ways to tell the stories of others who share my love for focusing our business efforts on something greater than profit, and beer. (ok, bourbon too) I can’t wait to connect with as many of you as would be interested in doing so, as while I have much to share, I have even more to learn from all of you.

Cheers!
