Pink Ribbon Merchandise, Give Hope And Get Quality Products Too

By Lucas Martin

The pink ribbon merchandise campaign is a program which provides awareness building opportunities as well as funding to the Susan G. Komen foundation for the cure. The program allows manufactures and distributors to place the pink ribbon logo on selected products in exchange for a small portion of their proceeds from the sale of the products going to the foundation. The Foundation is the leading resource for those who are directly afflicted or who love someone who is afflicted with breast cancer and related issues.

So, what are some of the places you can put an air conditioner that brings this type of climate - one that also increases the feeling of health and well-being to those who live and work within the confines of wherever it is you put it? Well, anywhere, of course! But for the sake of time, here is just a short list of some residential and commercial establishments to use as examples:

The home - Your family will want to stay at home more often during the summer months if your home is cool and well-ventilated. And, by putting a great a/c unit on your property, you will ensure them a great summer in their house, while also ensuring yourself cuts in your electricity bill. Also, nothing makes a great summer even better than enjoying it in your own home for mere pennies on the dollar!

Some of the most popular items that the ribbon logo is placed on include those items which are of primary interest to women. These items in the past have included feminine hygiene products, diet foods, health foods, clothing items and intimates, home care and fragrance products as well as other items. While the majority of the items are female centered in their market base this is in no way the rule. In fact some of the best campaign products to ever be sold included items that were centered to men. These items included tools, camping gear and even sport equipment such as fishing rods and camouflage clothing for hunters.

But if you have good ventilation in your salon, you just might provide those clients with the "always-perfect mini-vacation" - which also means you could gain even more clients by word of mouth regarding how comfortable and relaxing it is to go to your salon. And, you could have all this while still giving your bank account a vacation from financial "overuse".

Proceeds from the sale of the items are used to help the foundation in its mission to provide research funding, support to those who are fighting there battle and resources to those who have survived but now need to put their lives back together. The foundation is dependent on the funding that this program brings in but at the same time they are meticulous in the standards that they have set to ensure that the products or services which are part of the program live up to the level of respect and dignity that the foundation has worked hard to create for those whom it helps.

When you are next in a store and see that little pink ribbon on product, take the time to ask yourself if you can use it. If you can and it will serve your needs as well as another product please consider picking it up. The purchase of pink ribbon merchandise is a great way to make a difference in little ways that you will not even notice.
