<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 762345, member: 307&quot;]Call me a skeptic, but having a background in marketing I would say that if (and I am only saying &quot;if&quot;) I was a charitable organization, it would behoove me to drop one anonymously in my own kettle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not only is the publicity that they get from these every year is a free advertisement for their charity, the idea now present in the public mind might be &quot;Hmmm, maybe I could do that!&quot; and this is a brilliance to this strategy. Whether or not they ever did seed their own kettle, or continue to do so to this day, it is a fantastic goodwill and publicity campaign that costs them nothing and pays HUGE dividends.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is my skeptical nature that makes me think this way, but understand that this IS the way that Madison Ave, thinks.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the day if more people are fed, and better cared for, then I don&#039;t really care if they do.
