Create a spirit of partnership with your customers and communicate with a Total Surround-Sound Experience
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a huge factor for today’s consumer in determining their purchasing decision.
In the 2017 Cone Communications CSR Study, they found that “nearly nine-in-10 Americans (89%) would switch brands to one that is associated with a good cause, given similar price and quality. And whenever possible, a majority (79%) continues to seek out products that are socially or environmentally responsible.”
