Raising Money for Non-Profits is Simple 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 700 top retailers - from Macy’s to Land’s End, REI to Gap, Circuit City to Best Buy and Wal-Mart, to provide the ‘shopping experience’ for the non-profit supporters.
In addition, the company employs a proprietary program that scours the internet for coupon codes, special sales and the like, from their base of retailers. These promotions are continuously updated, insuring an incentive for repeat visitors. Customers access DSCOUPONS.COM through the non-profit organization's website, saving the non-profit thousands of dollars in setup fees. For every purchase made through the virtual mall, the non-profit receives a percentage and a percentage 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 could be a great alternative fundraising 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 obligation to 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 sophistication.
Once an organization 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 all the details, again simplifying the technological maintenance of the site. Another important feature, unlike similar sites, is that consumers do NOT need to 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 charities by simply buying what they were going to buy anyway. With the economy hitting everyone so hard, Non-Profits are looking for new sources of money.
