Plymouth, Minn., April 4, 2012—Knowledge Marketing’s GoodDonor.org, a free online scheduling service for donation of household goods, wants to make sure that citizens everywhere are aware of the free pickup service it provides.

As cities, towns and villages across the country prepare for community-wide garage sales, GoodDonor.org is the ideal way to end any garage sale.

“After a garage sale closes and all the items and clothing have been picked through, there’s no need for those things to head back down to the basement,” said Duane Crandall, founder of Good Donor. “Just because those items didn’t sell at your garage sale doesn’t mean they aren’t worth something to a local charity.”

Remove the clutter once and for all, and schedule a free donation pickup with GoodDonor.org. GoodDonor.org provides the most convenient and efficient donation process for residential donors by allowing them to select the date they would like to make a donation. Here’s how it works. First, gather your used clothing and household items. Then log on to www.GoodDonor.org or www.facebook.com/GoodDonor to schedule a pickup. Then all you have to do is put your items out the day they’re scheduled to be picked up by a GoodDonor partner.org. It’s that easy—no need to load up your car and drive your donations to a center. GoodDonor.org does the work by picking them up from your residence.

About Good Donor
Good Donor is on a mission to increase charitable funding by more than $100 million, by making it easier for local consumers and corporations to give donations. Good Donor was founded in 2009, and enables the public to donate as much or as little as they like (clothing, furniture, household items, sports gear, baby items, etc.), as often as they like from their own doorstep, at any chosen date or time (and can reschedule for a new date or time if need be at any moment), to a local charity of choice. This successfully allows charities to reduce 25-50% of pick-up donation costs, and put more money back into their cause and the community.

PubLutions is all about the transfer of readers to users

Plymouth, Minn., February 16, 2012—In Charlie McCurdy’s recent presentation on The Future of B2B Media, he suggested that the media industry needs to shift its emphasis to its customer, and away from a media-centric focus. Knowledge Marketing (KM) is the proprietor of the product that does just that.

KM’s PubLutions is a suite of Web-based technologies that provide publishers with the ability to manage all of their interactive marketing from a single platform. Integrating all aspects of marketing programs requires expertise, strategy and knowledge of best practices.

“Knowledge Marketing helped us completely rethink and execute our database strategy,” said Sandra Martin, Group Director, Strategic Community & Audience Development at UBM Canon. “KM’s PubLutions platform has allowed us to manage and grow powerful database programs that helped achieve several of UBM Canon’s recent business objectives.”

“We have been working very hard with our clients to offer some new ways for publishers to grow their business” states Joe Benson, President of KM. “UBM Canon is a great success story as they really have become a leader in understanding the transfer of readers to users and the positive impact it can have on their audience and how they interact with their brands.”

The suite of tools in PubLutions includes traditional audience development, email marketing, database marketing and master file technology—just to name a few. The utilization of these technologies in unison allows publishers to generate more revenue, improve audience segmentation, increase brand identity and reduce production expenses.
