How it works

Why it works

E-mail Print PDF
Why This Works:
  •     High quality products at reasonable market prices.
  •     We work with only Georgia based manufacturers (when possible).
  •     We promote repeat business for long term benefits.
  •     Your organization will receive 50% net profit on all sales.
  •     We have automatic billing, we direct deposit the contributions and we have an automated Donation process.
  •     We direct ship so there is a shorter gap between pledge and delivery times.


Group ordering –
You can save money on shipping costs by taking orders at your location and place your order all at one time.  You can schedule the pickup during specific set times or during your hours of operation.  This allows your contributors the flexibility to pick up their orders at their convenience.

Why This Works:

  •     No shipping costs.
  •     Order what you need when you need it.
  •     Easy process for your contributors who may not have access to the internet.
  •     No Delivery charges.


Product on hand –
You have the option of pre-ordering bulk orders to have the products on hand for any activities or group functions.  This is an excellent way to introduce people to the program and get them informed on how buying the products you sell will help your organization.  By telling them 50% of the net profits for the coffee or tea they drink will go to your cause may pursued them to buy from you on a regular basis.  The process is easy and the coffee is fantastic.

Why This Works:

  •     You can sell your coffee at functions and events whenever you see an opportunity
  •     This is a fantastic way to tell your prospects about your cause and how they can help.
  •     There is no cost for shipping the bulk orders.
  •     This will help to get your contributors to become a regular customer.


Door to Door –
We have created a way for your volunteers to visit their friends, neighbors and relatives and help them develop their skills in communications and retail sales.  With our program your volunteers can focus not on the products they are selling but on The Cause they are supporting.  The benefit of our “Pledge Program” is it removes all of the challenges experienced in a traditional door to door campaign.  We can customize the marketing materials to highlight the focus of your program.  We want to be able to inform your contributors of the hard work your organization is doing.  We will help create the messaging and we can advise you on the best and most effective ways of delivering your message.  We know it’s not easy to carry around all of the products.  The biggest complaint I hear from parents is they have to haul around all of the products and deliver them to the people who bought them.  With our registered certificate program, there is no need to collect money, carry around boxes or having to go back two or three times because they weren’t ready when you stopped by the first time.  All we need is some information from your contributor like a name, address, phone number or an email address.  Once you collect the information, you and your child or volunteer can learn how internet commerce works.  You can spend time together entering the information on your web site.  You will get a real time report on how well you or your whole group is doing.  This is perfect for a Rewards program.  The best team can win a predetermined prize.

Why This Works:

  •     The certificates we use have registered numbers and have no “monetary” value (safer process).
  •     No need to collect money.  All you need is a verbal commitment.
  •     They don’t have to commit to a dollar value.  We can monitor the contributions.
  •     We can customize the marketing material to deliver your message, represent your organization and support your cause.
  •     There is no inventory to deliver.
  •     There is no risk of left over inventory for you keep.
  •     This process is less imposing process and doesn’t make your neighbor feel obligated to buy.
  •     Real time individual or team reports to see who is selling to most.
  •     We can create a reward program based on your organizations preference.

Private Label Option

Private label options –

We can create a “private label” for you with your logo on the products. This is a great way for you to represent your cause. This does require some assistance from you to help set up the logo and information that will be presented on the products. There are some requirements that are not covered by the standard programs. This will requires that your organization to assign an administrator to the program. There is a minimum order requirement or a slight charge for the branded labels. The cost will be deducted from the profits made from selling the products. Your organization doesn’t have to pay any additional charges.
