The holidays can be a bleak place for some unfortunate citizens of Metro Detroit. Not everyone gets to snuggle closely by the fireplace and light the Christmas tree. A lot of these people face freezing temperatures, scramble for food and struggle daily for survival. This is the plight of an increasing number of homeless people in S.E. Michigan. There is a new group of dedicated angels in disguise ready to combat this ever growing problem of homelessness in America.
The group, Homeless Angels Foundation, has nominated one of Detroit’s brightest marketing and sales stars to head its campaign. Ted Cantu is filling in the position of Director of Marketing for this innovative group of caring, hard working, and committed individuals. Cantu brings online marketing initiatives into the Board of Directors and also handles a lot of the offline strategies. The overall combination brings a much needed change to the increasing number of homeless people filling the streets.
“We are putting the homeless people in front of the media and on the web. There is so much we can do as a community. I am donating proceeds from our online marketing programs to help this great cause. The best part about our program is that it puts the participating retail store owner on page 1 of Google and other search engines while helping people in need” says Ted Cantu. “The retail or restaurant owner can get their business on page 1 in just a couple of hours – that is faster than printed media”.
The newspaper scene in Michigan is very bleak this Holiday season. The Ann Arbor News has shut its doors forever and the Oakland Press has followed in its footsteps. Smaller niche market papers such as the Phenomenews has also vanished without a trace. Online marketing is the best way for many of these customer oriented establishments to keep their doors open.
Cantu is bringing the problem of the Michigan homeless crisis to the search engines – namely viral marketing. This is going to show people out there that they can band together and do something positive for the community. The opportunities here are incredible and there are many untapped resources that can benefit the homeless. The idea behind getting this message on the web is to create connections that will benefit each and every participant out there.
The Homeless Angels Foundation is promising great things including a PBS special, viral web video documentaries, new web site rollouts a community based projects to help bring a curb to this growing pandemic.
