Car Donations On Your Website

RECAP:
1. What is a Landing/or Donation page? The provided link gives your donors access to your nonprofit's UNIQUE landing page! When donors submit an online donation directly to this page, their information goes straight to our database and is specified as a vehicle to benefit your nonprofit. This page can also be customized and transformed into an SEO marketing platform. It works like an online ad, and brings donors to your specific page by utilizing keywords and key phrases! (Just ask us, and consider it done!)
To Get Your Landing Page Link:
- MADE EASY- Please call or email me, and I will send you your charity's links: 855-520-2100 or lauren@cars2charities.org
2. What is a Banner ad/link to your landing page? Please use the banner link to create an eye-catching Banner Ad that, when clicked, takes the donor to your landing page. This is also a great feature for e-newsletters, emails, and your website! I have included the instructions on how to create a banner ad in the attachment. Please include a small description of how vehicle donations work for and benefit your organization next to the banner ad. We can give you examples if you need them.

Please follow these 3 Simple Steps To Update Your Website OR Use our Template
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Banner Ad Placement
Be sure to put it somewhere the donor can see it (i.e., don't put it on the bottom of the page, or in a margin - put it at the top of the page or in the center)
Step 2: Bold Label and Brief Description
People will donate if the process seems easy and if they know what to expect. We recommend that you please include a small section labeled Vehicle Donations to (Your Nonprofit Name). MAKE THIS BOLD. While this label is up to your discretion, just be sure to make it simple and straight to the point. The description should be about:
- Our partnership
- How to donate (by calling our phone number/or filling out a donation form online) setting up an account and scheduling a pick up)
- What they can donate: cars, trucks, vans, RVs, motorcycles, golf carts, boats, heavy equipment, etc.
Please add our phone number directly in this section! 855-520-2100.
Step 3: Personal Touch
Also add a picture, or a positive anecdote that paints a picture of how these donations really do help your organization. (Here is an Example from one of our animal rescues: "Thanks to our partnership with Cars2Charities, we are able to pay our electric bill each month, and our animals always have food in their bowls and bellies. Your donation does make a difference.")

How to create a “Donate ANY Vehicle” button (or banner) on your website to specifically drive car donations for your organization
The URL we give you looks something like this: http://www.cars2charities.org/partners?charity=416 It will call up the following image: Choose which button / banner you wish to show on your website.
B. Decide WHERE on your website you wish to show the icon you selected.
For best results: The best practice is to show the button (or a link) in multiple areas, such as:
- Home page, if possible (or at least have some link from your home page)
- A separate page and menu-listing under your “Donate” or “Support Us” Menu
- On any page where you mention the variety of ways donors can support your organization
Simply Paste the HTML or Java code generated above into that location, and voila … see the “click-able” button or banner appear!
- What happens when a visitor clicks that button? They will see a new page (like the one below), customized with YOUR name at the top.
Below is a sample of what your donors will see when they click on the button to “Donate Any Vehicle” on your website:
