Key Consumer/Donor Insights
1) Shoppers look for discounts during economic contractions and expansions.
- 50% off retail prices is perceived as a strong value proposition.
- They understand that “factory-direct” means no middle-man mark up & lower
prices.
2) Being able to benefit an important charity/cause in addition to obtaining a meaningful
discount justifies the purchase of a “luxury” item.
- “Donation” must be perceived as meaningful enough to genuinely help charity.
- 30% of GROSS SALES donation is significantly more meaningful than typical
10% of the proceeds to go to the charity (“proceeds” = net profit after taxes).
