Movember is an international charity organisation which raises funds for prostate cancer charities. The founder of the Movember foundation was a young man who discovered that he could grow his own fake beard for the month of October, in order to raise money for a good cause. Since its inception, the Movember foundation has been working hard to create exciting promotional opportunities, using cutting edge technology to engage the consumer, and ensure that they donate time and money in ways that will directly affect the charity. This year, they have developed a completely new way to engage with fans of the Movember charity. Movember's new application allows supporters to directly contribute to the charity using their smartphones and tablets, in the comfort of their own homes.
As part of the fundraising campaign, Movember offers exciting promotions to help you raise your moustache count. For instance, you can now register to grow a new 'mustache', which you can then submit to Movember headquarters for approval. After approval, you can then choose a number of different designs from their database, ranging from a simple stubble to an elaborate growth pattern. Each design will then be added to a virtual personalised gallery that you can browse through on your smartphone, so you can see what kind of 'moustache' you will look like. You can also choose to get a unique t-shirt printed bearing a special design, as well as being able to personalise a collection of high quality growlers.
Although, the Movember mobile application is only available for iPhone and iPad users at the moment, it is hoped that this will soon change. If you want to show off your growing moustaches without having to worry about whether or not your friends are going to find out, or if they even care, simply go browsing for 'noviemont'. This virtual community is a virtual representation of your real life Movember community, allowing you to join in the fun and show off your new look. So what are you waiting for, join Movember today!
