With the plethora of special offers, deals and points means prizes being offered in the current times, it is commonplace for the savvy shopper to expect that additional ‘something for nothing’ when purchasing their favourite items or planning holidays overseas; and online purchasing is no exception.
GOandDONATE.com has been in existence now for two years – and in that time has enabled over 500 people to give thousands of pounds to a Jersey charity or not-for-profit group of their choice, at not one penny in additional costs over and above their original purchases.
It works entirely through internet affiliate marketing. GOandDONATE.com receives a percentage from the retailers or travel operators on its website, and then donates a massive 80% of the commissions to the customer’s chosen charity or community group. This commission is paid out of the profit on the purchase made by the retailer as a “thank you” to GOandDONATE.com for delivering the shopper to their site. Not one penny more is charged than if the shopper goes direct to their site.
In turn, GOandDONATE.com will give back 80% of the referral fees received, and so individuals, companies, associations, charities, PTAs, or groups of any kind can raise funds whilst shopping online, and in the meantime, can donate to the charity or community group of their choice.
Too good to be true? - that's what we thought ... but it's entirely true – and it works.
Take a local trust company, they have led the way by agreeing that all of their corporate travel is booked via GOandDONATE.com and in so doing have raised over £1,100 for local charities all at no cost to their organisation!
All shoppers have to do is to remember to click onto the GOandDONATE.com website and use the links on their site in order to get to their chosen website to book online travel and making other purchases. It's as easy as that.
There are many different categories including Children & Baby, Computing, Electronics, Entertainment, Fashion, Food & Drink, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Sports & Fitness, Toys & Games, plus Travel, you name it, it’s there, and GOandDONATE.com are adding retailers all of the time - including local companies PLAY.com; FeelUnique.com as well as large national and international brands. Customers can also make requests for new online retailers to be added to the website.
In fact shoppers will even be able to access discount codes to use via GOandDONATE.com when making their purchase so they can actually save money whilst donating for free.
Why not try it once by making a purchase via GOandDONATE.com and then compare the price by going direct to the website you used to confirm you paid the same price. Then wait for your donation confirmation e-mail from GOandDONATE.com which normally arrives later the same day. The average donation is over £4 per booking or purchase so once you see it in action, you’ll be hooked!
It is one of the easiest ways of making a difference to your local community.
