Enter www.ShopForStudents.com, a modern twist on fundraising that - according to founder Laura Shifrin, pays schools and non-profit partners 3-4 times more in donations than most others.
Sure, there are already tens of dozens of online shopping malls that offer commissions or donations to member schools and non-profit organizations. "These programs, by their very own admission, deliver an average of just 2-3% of net sales. The reality is, only very few online retailers in such programs pay at the highest levels, as we do." says Laura Shifrin, founder since 2008 with just over 30 years experience in marketing, sales and fundraising. "When we first conducted our research we collaborated with South Florida schools, non-profits and community leaders. Our program is parent friendly. No more door to door sales and no more collecting cash or checks."
"Instead of basing our donations on net profits like most others, we base our donations on gross sales, a full 15%. ShopForStudents.com, has cut aggressive deals with several large manufacturers. Do the math, 15% of gross sales, is huge."
Unique Online Store:
Participating schools and non-profits pay zero (nothing) to participate in ShopForStudents.com. Each school or non-profit receives their own online store, but not just a link. We provide them their very own custom domain name to help with marketing. (For ex. ShopForABCSchool.com)
