I've signed up to this great idea - but what do I do now?

The most effective route is to allow your supporters, employees, etc to get easy access to the search box in a location where they are already accessing the internet, and to then encourage them to undertake searches just as they normally do, but via this box. This location may be your existing web site, or one that we can create for you. Alternatively, or additionally, we can make code available to allow them to set up their own search box in a location of their own choice.
You should consider the following:

- If you or your supporters have a "high traffic" well known existing website that people regularly use then adding a search box is highly effective.

- If you or your supporters have an intranet site that staff or external partners often use then again a search box is very relevant.

- If you have internal users who just want to access the internet without any other internal requirements then our simple single page search facility set as the homepage on all computers will help maximise revenue.

- Clearly for many the most applicable option is having a free web site that can be easily updated with relevant news for supporters as well as containing a search box.

All this and other marketing ideas are set out in our library of marketing materials available via your PCP.

What exactly do you do to support my organisation?

We will track all of the revenue generated from your search box(es) and pay you 50% of the proceeds. This information will be clear and transparent and available for you to view 'live' via the online access that we will provide you with.

Will it cost me to market the services and earn these "free" funds?

With voluntary organizations, charities and other not-for-profit groups we provide our services entirely for free, including web-sites and html code and all other set-up arrangements. We then cover our costs over time out of our 50% of the revenue generated.

For the commercial world we have a sister company called Vine that provides a similar website service to companies and charges its costs up front. So our services clearly have a commercial value, but we believe in supporting fundraising organisations in this way.

The ongoing 50:50 revenue split is highly effective for both partners as by aggregating all the search traffic from all our clients we are able to negotiate higher proportions of the advertising revenue available.

As mentioned via your PCP you can access a range of marketing materials.
