WHY REGISTER?
Hmmm... That's a good question. We're glad you asked it. Fortunately, we've got a good answer :)
There is, of course, the obvious 'why not?' (No, seriously... why not?)
We all want to help out and 'do more' for the greater good, but this is usually much easier said than done. The two inhibiting factors are usually (as always) time and money.
Well, with Pennies At A Time you CAN help out the greater good - and your favorite greater good in that - without taking even a penny out of your pocket and with virtually no additional time on your part. And you can do all this easily, while doing the same activities that you would normally be doing anyway.
Normally, you go to Google in order to do your Internet searches.
Normally, you go directly to the retailer's website to make your on-line purchases.
What we are asking is that you come here (www.penniesatatime.com) before you start doing those activities. This will enable us to give proceeds from your transaction to charity.
And before even doing that, we recommend registering for the site. By doing so, not only are you helping raise FREE money for charity, but YOU get to pick where the money goes to. Are you a fan of the American Cancer Society? Are you a supporter of American Red Cross? Are you a fan of a charity or organization that doesn't specifically start with the name 'American?' Well, by registering, you can select your favorite charity from the list and we will make sure that the commissions from all of your purchases & transactions go to benefit that organization.
You don't see your favorite organization there?
What? We don't have the most complete and comprehensive list of EVERY charity ever known to man? How is that possible, it is not as if there are more than six charities to support. We can't possibly know of every organization, so we make it easy on you. If you don't see the charity that you want listed, then you can select the 'Add your favorite charity to our distribution' option.
And after you do that... you can drop a note to that charity, and let them know about our services. We can then work with them directly, so that ALL of their supporters can use a Pennies At A Time site customized just for them. Makes it easier to them to tell people about it... and no registration required. You can tell them that some of our services include:
- Paid Search - powered by Google
- On-line Shopping
- Sponsored E-mails - powered by Exponent Direct
- Affinity Credit Cards
- Donation Shopping Carts
- Scrips (gift/shopping cards)
- ... and more
And this ALL comes at NO cost or RISK to the organization - or their supporters.
Okay, so the easy part is saying that you want to support your favorite organization. The tough part is actually doing it (and remembering to do it)... So we've got some suggestions in order to help you out.
