A good alternative to pinups is a coupon book. The book pictured comes from Massachusetts-based pizza chain Papa Gino's and benefits The Jimmy Fund, the fundraising arm of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Last year this coupon book raised $90,000 for The Jimmy Fund. This year's program began July 1st and runs through the end of the month. The book sells for a buck and offers $100 in savings.

While more expensive to produce than pinups, coupon books have an almost instant appeal with shoppers. Looking for a different kind of cause marketing program for at the register? Try coupon books!
