​CREATE VOTING OPPORTUNITIES

​RAISE MONEY
BUILD COMMUNITY
Let local businesses sponsor your Voting Events and raise revenue by selling them advertising spots within your poll.  You determine the businesses to solicit, you determine the cost for advertising, and manage all the digital media and billing online through your personalized portal.  Ask your audience to support, and thank your business sponsors to build sustainable community funding for all your school events and sports teams.

​TOGETHER
BoomerangCast gives you all the infrastructure at no cost to your school.  You'll get access to an online portal to manage all your school's Voting Events.  As more schools in your area sign up, our marketing team will get big businesses to purchase ads for schools in your area.  You decide if you want to use those ads and receive the revenue for your school.  When you enable social media postings from your events, the mobile app will give your audience the ability to  post messages from your events to social media sites which highlight the businesses that sponsored the event.  With BoomerangCast, your school, your business sponsors, and all the schools around you that sign up as partners will benefit...together.

COMMUNITY BUILDING BEST PRACTICES

The Community we Envision

BoomerangCast provides a way for schools to raise funds for much needed extracurricular/academic/enrichment programs at no cost to the schools.  Through BoomerangCast’s voting application, any school event can be turned into a fundraiser by creating a vote where there may not have been one historically.  For example, a vote for MVP at every sporting event, lunch time rallies, homecoming court, best science project etc.
​
By using BoomerangCast’s platform at school events, the school will in effect be supporting local businesses by showing their advertisements to parents and families in the community who will be happy to support a business that supports their schools.   A mutually beneficial relationship will build between schools and businesses in the community. By involving the students to contact local businesses to solicit their support, they will gain real world experience in sales, digital marketing, advertising, and imaging. ​

Your school events with BoomerangCast

Example: how BoomerangCast works at a High School Basketball game
1
Setup the Voting Event
Create the event, the polling questions and options, and manage business sponsors and advertisers online.  

​Set when and where you want the poll to be broadcast to your audience and determine if your audience can view live results and post to social media from the event.
2
Voting
At the event, announce when Voting is open.  Parents, students, and all your attendees open the BoomerangCast mobile app and see your poll show up without any searching or filtering.  They place their vote in the app, see the business who sponsored the vote, and if enabled, they can see results in real-time and post to social media about the event.
3
Sponsors & Community
If local business advertising is sold for your events,  not only will your sponsors appear within your polls, their logo and website link/coupon will be saved within the app's wallet.  Create community by verbally announcing the sponsors and asking your audience to support them when in need of the goods/services they provide.
4
Raise Money for School
Manage all the billing and payments from your sponsors online through the web portal.  As your events happen, BoomerangCast will distribute the revenue from your sponsors to your school.

How it works

When you sign up with BoomerangCast, we'll send you a username/pwd to access the online portal where you manage your voting events, sponsors, and view results.   Your audience votes through the free BoomerangCast mobile app and, if enabled, posts to social media and views live results.  

​The entire solution is free to use.  If advertising is sold and used within your event, BoomerangCast shares a small percentage of the revenue.  The sooner you sign up your school as a BoomerangCast partner, the higher the percentage of advertising revenue your school keeps.
