If you had to choose between two companies for a product that was nearly identical in quality and price, would knowing that one company contributes a portion of its profits to a good cause sway your decision to buy its product? What if the product cost 10% more? How about 25% or 50% more? Or, if the company only donated 2% of its profits, would you be less inclined to purchase it as opposed to a company that donated all of its proceeds? And, how might your feelings change if the cause the company supported is one you are passionate about versus one about which you feel neutral or disagree with fundamentally? Some companies may avoid social change issues in order to keep their appeal as broad as possible, while others may stand behind their cause even if it causes them to lose potential customers. Those companies may find solace in knowing that, while they may lose some customers whose principles differ, they can also develop a stronger connection to and loyalty from customers who share similar values.
