By now you’ve survived the holiday hullabaloo, but other shopping opps loom ahead: birthdays, Valentine’s Day, congratulations on your ___ (fill in the blank).
And then there’s always the urge to gift yourself.
For whatever occasion, if you like the convenience and ease of online shopping you can support animal shelters and rescue groups at the same time. An innovative program called Buy & Give from Sharingpet allows you to make a donation to the humane organization of your choice when you make purchases from selected retailers. There’s even a Buy & Give app for your mobile phone.
You can use the service when buying just about anything, from perfume to pet food. Jeans from Nordstrom’s? Yup. DVDs from Amazon? Sure. Gourmet dog food from Petsmart? Absolutely! You can even make your travel plans through Sharingpet. Buy your airline tickets and book your hotels, with price comparisons just like you’d find on Travelocity or Expedia.
It’s easy to participate in this win-win program. Simply go to Sharingpet.org, choose the organization you’d like to help, search for whatever you need, and then make your purchase. This is where the magic happens. When you’re redirected to the online retailer you’ve chosen, Sharingpet receives affiliate marketing money in exchange for sending them online traffic – but instead of putting it into their own pockets, the folks at Sharingpet pass it on to animal shelters and rescues.
Just like that, you’ve helped animals in need without spending a single dollar more. And you get the satisfaction of knowing exactly where the money is going, because you chose the lucky organization yourself.
2013 likely will bring plenty of shopping your way. Why not give a gift to dogs and other animals in the process?
