From the Press Release
A new kind of Back-to-School deal not only saves shoppers money on their Back-to-School essentials, but could also help them save programs at their favorite schools or causes.
Onling shopping site Goodshop.com works with more than 6,000 top retailers, including Back-to-School favorites like Target, Staples, Land’s End, and more, and offers shoppers more than 100,000 coupons and deals at these stores. When users shop and save via Goodshop, a percentage of virtually every purchase is donated to a cause of the shopper’s choice.
According to the PFSWeb, online Back-to-School sales are expected to surpass $50 billion in 2014. “What if there were a way to automatically direct part of that money towards saving important school programs and supporting other great causes nationwide?” said Scott Garell, CEO of Goodshop and its parent company, Goodsearch. “With Goodshop, that's possible! Parents can save money with great deals and keep important programs in music, art, drama, sports, and others alive.”
Goodshop is constantly updating its site to provide shoppers with the latest deals and savings. For example, some of the hottest Back-to-School coupons currently on the site include:
- Macy’s - Kids’ Back-to-School favorites, plus free shipping at $50 (expires: 09-15-14, 1.5% donation)
- Sears - Up to 50% off Back-to-Campus essentials (expires: 09-01-2014, 2% donation)
- Office Depot - Get $10 off $50+ purchase (expires: 09-15-2014, 3% donation)
- Old Navy - Earn $10 for every $25 you spend (expires: 08-24-2014, 2.5% donation)
“Goodshoppers” can also grab the latest deals on the go, with the site’s Goodshop iOS appfor iPhone and iPad. The Goodshop app allows users to select their favorite stores for one-touch access to shopping and savings, and to receive alerts when new deals become available at their favorite stores - thereby personalizing their shopping experience. Just like the desktop version, a percentage of the shopper’s purchases is donated at no extra cost.
More than 110,000 schools and nonprofits in the US have partnered with Goodshop and have raised over $11 million, allowing shoppers to use their purchases to provide books in schools, fund important arts curriculums, feed the homeless, fund cancer research, clean our oceans, and much more.
“I’m already online, looking for the best Back-to-School deals to save on uniforms and school supplies for my kids,” said Mary Harkey of Los Angeles. “If using the great coupons on Goodshop helps me support the arts program at their school, as well as saving me money, there’s no reason why I wouldn’t use it to shop!”
