Did you know that you can honor your mother and support a nonprofit organization of her choice – all while saving money in the process?
By using GoodShop and GoodSearch, you and your mom can satisfy your shop-aholic needs for a good cause – the one of your choice. The View, ABC News, The New York Times and CNN have featured these two Web sites.
GoodShop.com is an online marketplace partnered with more than 1,000 stores, from Amazon to Zales, that donates a percentage of each purchase to you or your mom’s favorite nonprofit organization. It also provides hundreds of coupons and deals and highlights great Mother’s Day gift-giving merchants.
Here’s how it works:
1. Go to www.goodshop.com
2. Designate your favorite cause (you only do this the first time)
3. Click through to your favorite store – shop on their site as you normally would and a percentage of your purchase will go to your cause!
Here are just a few sample coupons:
Organic Bouquet: 10% off Mother’s Day Bouquets
Ghirardelli Chocolate: Free shipping with any $50 purchase
Clinique: Free shipping on any Mother’s Day gift set
1-800-Flowers.com: Save 10% on your purchase
GoodSearch.com is a Yahoo-powered search engine that donates a penny per search to your favorite cause.
Here’s how it works:
1. Go to www.goodsearch.com
2. Designate your favorite cause (you only have to do this the first time)
3. Search just like you normally would – every time you search, a penny goes to your cause!
So, go ahead, shop ’til you drop! You and your mom will not only look good with all your latest fashion finds, but you’ll feel great, too, knowing that every click means helping out the nonprofit of your choice.
