		<description>Very good point...and I&#039;m sure they still raise a good amount of money by doing what they&#039;re doing. However, I always wonder if they could make more doing it just a little bit differently? Hmmm...</description>

		<description>Thats an interesting point. I think they rely on &quot;social proof.&quot; When people see that other people already left money for the charity they expect people to want to donate. Perhaps if they said a few words they can get a better rate of donations.</description>

		<description>Very good example! I wish I had used that trick when I was a server back in college ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was trying to think of my examples, and I actually thought of a reverse example that relates to this. I notice a lot of the time, when people are raising money for a charity, they don&#039;t say anything. I think in general, people are more likely to give when there&#039;s some element of communication there. If someone is standing somewhere collecting money without saying a word to anyone, I think they&#039;re often easier for people to ignore. It seems like communication is step 1 and then step 2 is the strategy we talked about. Don&#039;t you think?</description>

		<description>I agree. I was at a restaurant, the waiter impressed our whole table and was very informative. At the end off the night he gave us the receipt and mentioned that the suggested tip was included on the receipt but he made it clear it was only a suggestion and we are welcome to cross it off. Our table was so impressed with his work and being so up front about the suggested tip that we gave him more than the receipt suggested. I thought about it throughout the night and totally knew it was all part of his strategy, it was simply brilliant. How about you? Do you have any other examples?</description>

		<description>I agree! It&#039;s funny to think about how our minds work and how certain wording makes us act a different way. It&#039;s all marketing I guess ;) Can you think of any other examples like this?</description>
