GLADLY GIVENFree for them.
Seen by everyone.
Gladly Given hands out free water bottles around Wilmington — a staple people reach for any time of year, with more products joining the lineup over time. Local businesses fund it by putting their name on the label. You cover a few cents of product cost; your logo ends up in people's hands all over town.
Three steps, one drop
Every campaign follows the same order — because the order is what makes it work.
We pick something people actually need
Water is always useful, so it's a constant on the roster — joined by other seasonally useful products as we grow. The lineup expands; the free part never does.
Your business goes on it
A handful of local sponsors split the cost of one run of product. Your logo rides on every single unit we hand out.
We hand it out where it matters
Sometimes that's a Gladly Given booth at a local event; just as often it's through local distributor partners — shops, counters, community spots — handing it out year-round. Either way, we make sure people know the water's free and why.
Be a founding sponsor before the first bottle ships
Founding sponsors fund the very first run — whether that lands at a single event or rolls out over time through local distributor partners. Either way, you're in before there's a track record, helping shape what that first drop looks like. And 10¢ of every bottle sponsored goes straight to charity, so every label does double duty.
Cheaper than a billboard. Warmer than an ad.
Low cost per impression
You're splitting one product run with a few other local businesses — not buying a whole campaign on your own.
Built-in goodwill
Nobody resents an ad that came with something free and useful. That's a different kind of attention than a banner ad.
Real local reach
Your label reaches real people across Wilmington and the coast — neighbors, families, commuters, visitors, and everyone in between — the community most likely to actually walk into your business.
A dime with a purpose
Ten cents of every bottle you sponsor goes straight to charity. Giving isn't just how the product reaches people — it's built into the sponsorship itself.
