Cause Marketing Solutions Connects Colorado Community with National Charity

Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- Direct advertising leader, Cause Marketing Solutions, Inc (CMS), announces its sponsorship of the U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation (www.uswoundedsoldiers.com) starting with the launch of promotions throughout Aurora, Centennial and surrounding areas of Colorado. Building upon longtime successful charity partnerships, such as the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA), CMS is expanding its effective community awareness campaigns to include a new partner organization while benefiting both consumers and businesses in the Aurora area.

While CMS's key business model continues to center around providing consumers with the best values on quality products and local services via their market-specific Community Savings Books, the organization has also chosen to donate a percentage of the proceeds of each sale directly to the U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation. Adding to CMS's roster of charitable partners, for the first time the organization will expand its community offering in support of combat veterans who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

With nearly two decades of experience in the direct advertising realm, CMS makes it possible for consumers to enjoy unmatched values on everyday products and services, including everything from their favorite restaurants and sports teams, while simultaneously giving back to the local community. Whether at home, work or though select community events, Denver area consumers can purchase professional CMS Savings Books through authorized distributors of D1 Marketing, Inc. (visit www.d1marketing.com for more information).

By connecting respected advertising partners looking to enhance their visibility in the community with charities in need of additional revenue sources, CMS creates a mutually profitable outcome for both businesses and non-profit organizations. Though CMS's Denver-area advertiser partnerships alone, consumers can enjoy discounts at popular local businesses such as Colorado Crush and Colorado Rapids sporting events to dining at locally-acclaimed Caldonia's restaurant.

"We're excited to be expanding our community partnerships while giving Denver area locals a way to benefit a good cause as they enjoy the things the love to do and buy," said Paulo Frattini of Cause Marketing Solutions. "What's more exciting is that the Denver area serves as the first of many new markets in which we'll be launching our new partnership with the U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation. In just a matter of weeks, the promotion will begin its national expansion continuing on to North Carolina and Ohio."

How It Works

With Community Savings Books being distributed in more than 500 cities across the country, CMS professional Distributors and authorized distribution partners (such as D1 Marketing, Inc) reach millions of consumers on behalf of well-known advertising partners through business-to-business, residential and event marketing programs. Meanwhile, CMS marketing programs provide value to local communities by giving consumers unmatched discounts on the products and services they already want and use.

Unlike other coupon books which sell discounts broadly across multiple markets, CMS ensures that the offerings in their books are designed with individual communities in mind. This allows consumers to get the highest value for their money and have convenient access to each of the businesses included in the book.

The popular books create a one-of-a-kind advertising medium worth between $3,000 and $10,000 in free and discount offers with market-specific products and services, ultimately giving the customer an average of up to 50 percent in savings at local venues throughout the community. With an outstanding 95 percent advertiser return rate, CMS's value offering continues to gain momentum in markets throughout the country with the support of both businesses and consumers nationwide.

About The U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation

Founded by Teresa Goforth, who began flying the Military Troop Transports in March 2003, The U.S. Wounded Soldiers Foundation was created in response to the needs of a military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany and now provides comfort items, such as socks, pajamas and house slippers to incoming wounded soldiers. To date, more than 45 tons of donated supplies have been shipped overseas on behalf of the Foundation. The Phoenix Project, a seven-day retreat, was added in 2005 to assist with the reintegration of returning combat veterans with their spouses and families. More than 500 veterans have attended and 100 percent of the relationships are still intact. The U.S. Wounded Soldier Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, all donations are tax deductible. For more information, please visit: www.uswoundedsoilders.com
