SSI Partners with World Vision to Offer Buzzbox


Syndicated Solutions Inc. (SSI) has formed a new alliance with World Vision, a children's relief and development organization, and Camano Island Coffee Roasters based in Washington State, to offer BuzzBox -- an automated delivery system that shares 10% of all purchases to targeted operations of World Vision, and the promotional partner secured by SSI. SSI is initially making BuzzBox available to select radio and television stations. All that's basically required from the promotional partner SSI secures is the audience/members/fans drink coffee.

SSI's President Bob Carey said, "The special opportunity BuzzBox represents for radio and TV programs or station group owners, travel industry companies with strong loyalty programs, sports leagues and civic or service organizations is truly without equal. By simply enjoying something most of us do every day -- drinking coffee -- but now the 'best-of-the-best-coffee,' we'll have significant impact and increase the influence of the promotional partners we associate with in an extremely meaningful and financially rewarding way."

He continued, "World Vision is clearly the leader in their field with operations in over 100 countries, assisting over 100 million people, so combining the power of these organizations with the resources and relationships of SSI is exciting and unparalleled. To provide some perspective, a promotional partner delivering just 50,000 BuzzBoxers over the course of a year would earn a payout of over $1 million and the impact they'll have will certainly be many, many times more."

World Vision Executive Director for Events and Broadcast Jenny Lockwald added, "World Vision has been helping children, their families and communities around the world for more than 60 years. It is our privilege to partner with SSI and Camano Island Coffee Roasters to build on this effort through social business that creates a circle of support to those who often live barely on $1 a day. When we come together in these types of partnerships, the simple act of drinking coffee can literally change the world."
