What am I hoping for from you? $10. Two lattes. If you can give up 2 coffee drinks, you’ll help raise money for kids in schools who can use some updated technology.

So far, we’ve had corporate donations from:

Citrix Online
Radian6
Crocs Shoes

(And not sure if I forgot someone, so let me know?)

Will you help me convince people that social media can help causes?

What’s really cool about the experience was that the people from Waterfield emailed me shortly after the order to say that they were missing a piece of material and that the order would be delayed by a day or two. I wrote back and thanked them, and then they wrote back and chatted me up a bit.

I loved it. I felt like they really cared who was buying their bag.

A little later, they were ready to ship, and they emailed me to tell me that. Now, I have to stress, this delay they spoke of was like… two days instead of one day, or something like that. It was NOT a big stink. And yet, they treated me like I was waiting for this bag and that all time was stopped until I had it.

So good on you, Waterfield, and thanks to Jared Goralnick for good Word of Mouth on it. I’m really happy with my bag. (Next time, I’ll get the flap thing. I need ONE more pocket).
