So, how'd they do it?

They launched it on social media and with an email and hit $1,800 on the first day 📧

“[Our CEO] is a risk taker. She was like, let's do it! So we were very, very pleasantly surprised that it did as well as it did.”

They pushed it all month long with targeted social ads and emails ⏳

"When we got down to six days, we were counting down and highlighting the jackpot because it was climbing. We have about 67,000 Facebook followers so we were putting updates on there and boosting those posts.”

They raised $10,000 in the last four days.

“Our goal was to raise $10,000 total. The jackpot was climbing a lot in those last few days. I mean, we were shocked. We were thinking if we hit $10,000, we're successful!”
