PayPal | Do Stuff For Money

Para estimular as pessoas a experimentarem seus serviços, o PayPal colocou no ar o Do Stuff For Money. É basicamente uma ferramenta para convidar seus amigos a fazerem coisas por você. É só dizer qual a tarefa e quanto você paga, afinal, “as vezes só pedir não é o suficiente.”

Seu amigo pode aceitar, negar ou ignorar. Exemplos: ofereça R$ 20 para ele limpar sua casa ou R$ 50 para lavar suas meias, ou até uns R$ 100 por idéias para aquele job chato que você pegou. Só depende da sua imaginação e nível de pão-durismo.

O pagamento, obviamente, deve ser feito via PayPal, e conta com integração com o Facebook. A criação é da Evolution Bureau. Eu, como usuário frequente, só tenho mais uma coisa pra dizer: PayPal salva vidas.

A Nike está oferecendo USD 650 mil em doações a grupos sociais dos Estados Unidos que apresentarem projetos que exaltam o esporte como uma ferramenta para mudar suas comunidades locais – e que consigam engajar um maior número de pessoas para levantar fundos a organização “Back Your Block” da Nike.

Para esta campanha, a Nike utiliza ferramentas de mídias sociais para potencializar a participação das comunidades com a causa. Facebook e Twitter também são utilizados para auxiliar as pessoas que querem votar nos projetos submetidos no site (www.nikebackyourblock.com).

Atualmente, uma das maiores preocupações das empresas é a responsabilidade social, e tende a ser cada vez mais valorizada, inclusive no Brasil. Uma pesquisa feita no Fórum Ibope – Negócios Sustentáveis mostrou que 79% dos executivos e 55% da população brasileira já ouviram falar em responsabilidade social. Mais de 40% dos executivos disseram que as empresas têm que investir em responsabilidade social. O reflexo que atividades neste sentido podem gerar para uma marca é enorme.
