How does everybody represent Kiva in their life off the network? Bumper stickers? Telling everyone you know?

  • Sticker on the rear window of my car
  • My 1-pager and a list (with pictures) of all my Kiva investments on the outside wall of my office, which is a major passageway in my company.

Have gotten questions (and even signed up some Kiva people) through the office publicity Smiley but nobody ever has ever me about my car sticker Sad

I intend to put a bumper sticker on my car and a coffee mug in my office.   I also bought a t shirt (they make them in Fat Boy size.)  I am open to suggestions on how to best promote Kiva outside the office (we have strictly enforced solicitation rules at work.)

Kivafriends.org scrambled and respelled is "Risk And Forgive."  Of course, it also can be respelled "Asked For Virgin" and "Darer of Vikings" and even "Vinegar For Kids" but those are a lot less interesting.

On my email signature line I have the Kiva website, and as well my lender profile link (makes it more real).

At work, I collect the pop cans and have used the money to make a new loan here and there - so I will be posting on the bulletin board ... "Ever Wonder Where the Popcans Go?" along with a poster and story.

Also, I belong to a few music related fan sites along with Yahoo 360 - I have Kiva banners in my signatures etc and my constant natterings and news and updates have managed to get 20+ people to make loans at last tally, as well as even convert some of the people into Kiva addicts like me. woo-hooooo!

I am a Kiva Pusher!

I have a sweatshirt I wear when doing errands, coffee mug in my office, bumper sticker on my car, sig line for all my e-mail discussion lists, button on my notebook case, links to Kiva from my various websites. I put up signs with tear strips at the post office, grocery store, bookstores, and anywhere else I see a bulletin board.

To date 31 people have told me that they have loaned because I "pushed" them into it!

jacquie--i agree w/needing to make the kiva e-mail signature not just look like something yahoo mail or whatever could plop down there. if it looks like an impersonal ad & not a signature, i think less people will read it (i certainly skip anything that looks like an ad @ the bottom of e-mails i get!). my sig is:

My favorite worldchanger: Kiva.org (no affiliation on my part, just a happy lender--so check it out!)

but i like the idea of putting a link to your lender page--i might try that.

also i love the idea of putting up photos of your businesses w/a kiva flyer outside your office, ramon. i might try that (although i only have a cube).
