Hotting Up at The Fifty Quid Challenge


Things are hotting up at the Fifty Quid Challenge and front page advertising slots with live links to YOUR website are filling fast. We still have room for a few more businesses though, and that includes you!

Plus, even if you don't manage to bag a front page slot, you can now feature on our 'Thank You' page - which is really a directory of donors - just by donating to the cause. Once again, you'll get a link to your site. If you've been following our online marketing course you'll know how valuable an inbound link is.

And the public relations benefits of being seen supporting a very worthy cause are just about priceless!

Email roy@cinnamonedge.co.uk or jacqui@cinnamonedge.co.uk if you want to book your spot, or call us on 01284 753912.

Of course, individuals can donate too, or you can buy one of our products or services for sale via the site and raise even more money for St Nicholas Hospice Care.

You can donate via the website, at http://www.thefiftyquidchallenge.co.uk/

Or, you can go straight to JustGiving, at http://www.justgiving.co.uk/50quidchallenge

Either way, the money goes to St Nicholas Hospice Care. JustGiving take a small percentage for administration and we take nothing at all.

Launching The Fifty Quid Challenge



Dear Suffolk business owner

I’m sure you’ve heard of St Nicholas Hospice Care, and I’m sure you’ll agree they do a wonderful job for the terminally ill and their families and loved ones.

You might not know that they also help bereaved people of all ages or that most of their patients are cared for as outpatients or in their own homes.

Recently we were privileged to be able to visit the hospice and learn more about the work they do, and we were surprised how pleasant, calm and cheerful it is there.Giving terminally ill people the degree of care and personal attention they need is very expensive, but the hospice itself takes just a fraction of St Nicholas’ overall costs. The other support services they provide cost far, far more, and the charity needs roughly £10,000 per day to supply these uniquely valuable services to our community.

That’s why we jumped at the chance to support St Nicholas Hospice Care by joining the Towergate Accumulator Challenge and why we believe you will want to help, too. And of course, as a marketing company we will be offering you a fantastic deal in return.

The best offer any company can make is one that’s too good to turn down, so that’s why we’re making you and a select few local businesses an absolutely irresistible offer.

You can associate your company with St Nicholas Hospice Care through the Towergate Accumulator Challenge simply by sponsoring one slot on our dedicated website at http://www.thefiftyquidchallenge.co.uk/.

We will then spend the next three months promoting the website in every way we know (and we know a lot) to bring visitors and potential customers to see your advertisement supporting the hospice and linking through to your website if you wish. We can help you create a simple ad for the slot if you need help with that.

It doesn’t stop there. Depending on the size of your sponsorship we’ll also give you other marketing services at no extra cost to you, including blogs, articles, press releases and even help with your website and in other parts of your business. In short, you can get a valuable marketing package, including a complete business consultation worth thousands of pounds, just for taking one of the top advertising slots on our dedicated website.

Meanwhile, we will continue to promote www.thefiftyquidchallenge.co.uk and all the advertisers on it by regular news releases, a dedicated social media campaign and through all our usual contacts. The Fifty Quid Challenge will also become a part of the Cinnamon Edge brand for at least the next three months. The more prominently your company is positioned on the Fifty Quid Challenge website, the more benefit you will get from its promotion.

That’s why there’s a sliding scale of suggested prices. Top positions will go to the highest bidders but donating the suggested sum will guarantee you that slot – even if someone then offers to pay more. We’re open to other offers, too, and of course we’ll accept straightforward donations.

We do, however, ask that you donate through us so we can win the Towergate Accumulator Challenge by raising more money than any of our competitors!

Go to http://www.thefiftyquidchallenge.co.uk/ to see what it’s all about.

Roy and Jacqui
