Community Relations

Target. Does. Community. Veeeeery well.




To start with Target really has a strong grasp on what most communities need. Especially in the current economic climate. That's right..... Cha-Ching! "Target gives 5% of its income to communities...

...that's $3 Million every week."





I know... it is kind of surprising that such a large and profitable company could be so noble.

Their Noble-ness, if you will, is focused in the following areas:

Education
Arts + Culture
& Social Services



Mostly, what they do is give money to other organizations that specialize in these areas. However, the company also encourages it's employees to partake in VOLUNTEER work. Yay. Of course, the employees will always be seen in Target garb. (count it! a gold star for the PR department!)




It looks cool when your employees not only have the time to volunteer, but are encouraged to do so by their company. It just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside... reaction: Target cares! They really do! Not just with money, but with TIME AND EFFORT!!

And all of this community relations business goes right along with their mission statement. Expect more. Pay Less. Yes...expect more, in all aspects of the company which you are being a fine fine customer to.
