Raising Money for Non-Profits is Easy With DSCoupons
Through their vitual shopping mall (DSCoupons.com), DonationStreet is helping non-profits in their fundraising endeavors by allowing them to tap into the multi-billion dollar online sales market. Jupiter Research estimates that this market will reach $117 billion by this year. DonationStreet has registered over 800 top retailers – from Macy’s to Land’s End, REI to Gap, Moosejaw to Best Buy and Wal-Mart, to provide the ‘shopping experience’ for the non-profit supporters.
In addition, the website utilizes a proprietary program that scours the web for promo codes, special sales and the like, from their base of stores. These deals are always being updated, insuring an incentive for repeat visitors. Customers access DSCOUPONS.COM through the non-profit website, saving the non-profit thousands of dollars in web set-up expenses. For every purchase made through the virtual mall, the non-profit organization receives a portion of the sale and a portion goes to the company. This fee is paid by the online retailer.
With the online marketplace growing by leaps and bounds and the non-profit donation base declining, this is a great alternative revenue generating opportunity for non-for-profit organizations. DonationStreet provides the perfect incentive for people to shop online and at the same time support the charity or non-profit of their choice. The only requirement of the non-profit is to promote the service to their constituency and supporters. DonationStreet has made it simple to make the portal accessible to all charities, regardless of their technical knowledge.
Once a charity has become a member, they can simply link through DonationStreet Links or the more technically sophisticated Town Banners, Today’s Coupons, et al. DonationStreet supplies the link code, again simplifying the technological maintenance of the site. Another important feature, unlike similar sites, is that consumers do NOT need to sign-up to access the virtual mall.
No one likes to ask for money – even for a good cause so this is the perfect way for patrons to support their favorite causes by simply buying what they were going to buy anyway. With the economy hitting everyone so hard, Non-Profits are always looking for new sources of donations.
Non-profit organizations can sign-up by using an online form available at DSCoupons.com.
