Many consumers today prioritize social-minded businesses and food establishments when they decide where to spend their dollars. That's why the new app, Beam, has made social good the core of their business and mission.
Viveka Hulyalka is the co-founder and CEO of Beam. She joins Cheddar to explain how her app is driving consumer engagement and helping brands build their social engagement arm.
Currently, Beam is partnered with brands like Think Coffee, Dig Inn, and Pinkberry. When a consumer visits one of the partner locations they have the ability to choose one of their four charities and donate between five cents and 25 cents.
Hulyalka explains that Beam is a completely free way to help consumers give back every day.
