I noticed that they featured a “real” woman,  Joan Borts, on their Web site in a campaign they call: “Heart of the Movement.”  Check it out below. It’s good modeling of what women look for – real people that they can connect with.

Gary Hirshberg, their CE-Yo, gets the need to be real with their customers.

This morning I reached into the refrigerator for my morning dose of organic Stonyfield yogurt. Lately, I’ve been addicted to their new “greek” yogurt product “Oikos” so I hadn’t noticed that Stonyfield had switched packaging on their other yogurts.

Brilliant, this is exactly what women want…the real deal.

Is your NGO using real photos with real people? Are you posting testimonials about your impact from third-parties? If not, you should be. It’s what women want.

P.S. If you haven’t yet, check-out Gary’s book Stirring it Up: How Make Money and Save the World. It’s a great inspiring read about how you can be a “good” business.
