Diabetes UK took part in the Everyclick Charity Challenge, which offered charities the chance to win a free national poster campaign on over 1,500 sites across the UK.
The challenge ran between 14 January to 14 April 2008 and within this time we received a wonderful response. We raised the most money in our category during the three-month challenge by inspiring all staff and supporters to use Everyclick.
After heading our category we submitted the winning presentation to prove the varied and innovative ways we had used and promoted Everyclick as a great way to raise funds.
The prize is a major national outdoor advertising campaign on more than 1,500 sites across the UK. Diabetes UK posters feature on Clear Channel outdoor sites across the UK from August 2008.
The 550 charities that entered were judged on how much they raised per supporter and the imaginative ways they encouraged the public to use the search engine.
What we did
During the three months, our activities included setting Everyclick as the default search engine for the whole charity, adding links to Everyclick in all Diabetes UK email footers and contacting our network of nearly 400 voluntary support groups to encourage them to adopt Everyclick.
The Diabetes UK website also promoted the search engine regularly on its homepage and across the site, as well as dedicating an entire page to Everyclick
Continue to raise funds for free
Thank you to all those who took part and supported us. Everyclick is a great way for you to support Diabetes UK and raise for funds for free, and we would urge all those who helped towards the challenge to continue to raise funds using Everyclick.
