Charity emails

Hi Shweta, I'm not clear on whether this would be a fund raising event, e.g. London Marathon, or someone wishing to publicise their chosen charity. If it's the former I don't see a problem, if it's the latter I'd be more inclined to put a poster on a noticeboard rather than circulate using email. Would be interested to hear views from other members.

Its the latter. One of our employees is trying to raise money using online fundraising platform for someone they care for and want to send it to all employee.

My inclination in this case would be to say "no" to the APB. It's a busy world. One easily-ignored email will disappear like a stone in still water.

But if you have a staff newsletter or regular round-robin, you could put it on that as a sidebar. If you have a company Facebook or LinkedIn page, that's more likely to both catch attention and serve double-duty as a marketing opportunity (yes, mercenary, but business is business).

I guess I'm saying "go big, or go home". Either this is something the company should get behind and promote in a structured and intelligent way, or it shouldn't touch it at all.

Thankyou Robey. Makes sense :).

Understand and agree. Thanks for your feedback :).
