DubLi--A Fundraising Haven

The current severe economic downturn has hit most fundraising organizations very hard, motivating them to search for new, innovative ways to recoup their lost revenue.

As a result, many of them have discovered DubLi's highly attractive new Partner Program, which offers an amazingly effective way to generate major revenue through a simple process of embedded giving.

Here's how it works: By enrolling in this program for only $199 per year, the fundraising organization gets its own branded version of DubLi's unique new global online shopping portal, including its exciting and popular "reverse auction" platform. It then invites its members to do their online shopping through this portal.

Members who do so get rock bottom prices on everything they buy, along with major discounts and rebates. On the auctions, they can get hundreds of the most sought-after products literally for pennies on the dollar.

At the same time, without incurring any personal cost whatever, they help to generate major revenue for their organization. Specifically, the fundraising organization gets 30% of all of the revenue that is generated through the purchases of its members.

Here are a few examples of fundraising organizations that are currently taking refuge in this recession- proof program:

Joe Morgan Charity Foundation

Joe Morgan resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and is an inspiration to all who know him. His community interest, patience and love for children, family example, and general concerns make him an exceptional individual.He contributes personally and financially to the Young America Baseball Program, the Oakland Unified School District Sports Program and is Founder and President of the Joe Morgan Youth Foundation, which provides college scholarships as well as financial support to programs that are instrumental in the development of youth.

The Online Shopping Revolution--A Way to Save Big Bucks While Supporting Your Favorite Charities and Helping to Save the Environment

Online shopping is rapidly transforming and accelerating as a result of several recent synergistic driving forces. This revolution, which has already had a major impact on global marketing, is somewhat akin to a "perfect storm" that's likely to continue unabated for the forseeable future.

Driving Force #1--Soaring Fuel Costs


The rapid rise in fuel prices over the past few years seems to have been an
important initial factor in starting this revolution.

After reaching a low point of $16 per barrel in early 1999, oil prices steadily
climbed to a maximum of $147.27 per barrel on July 11, 2008. There is evidence that the rising costs of driving associated with this increase resulted in an initial influx of new online shoppers. A survey of 2,363 adults conducted by business software supplier, iCongo, in April, 2008 showed that one-third of them said that the high price of gasoline made it more likely that they would shop online, rather than at retail stores.

"It's fair to say that consumers may be looking to fire up their computer more often than their car or truck when it comes to retail shopping," said Irwin Kramer, iCongo CEO, in a statement.
The advantages of being able to shop from home at any time, free shipping, and lower prices were also cited by a majority of respondents as contributing to why they preferred to shop online.

Driving Force #2--The New Frugality

A second very major factor that has driven this shift in shopping behavior is the economic meltdown that suddenly occurred during the closing months of 2008. This has caused consumers to become markedly more frugal and bargain-conscious in spending their rapidly shrinking supply of dollars and has propelled them in ever-increasing numbers into shopping online where they can maximize their savings.

In the U.S., online retail sales topped $208 billion in 2008--a 40% increase from 2007. In spite of the current recession, these sales are projected to grow by an additional 35% in 2009. Another telling indicator is that, in spite of the sharp economic downturn, Amazon.com had it's most profitable holiday shopping season ever in 2008.

Independent research shows that 80% of U.S. customers have shopped online at least once and that 64% shop both at offline stores and their online counterparts before making purchases.
Given that about a million new users gain access to the internet daily, this migration from "bricks and mortar" to online "click and order" shopping is highly likely to continue progressively. Not surprisingly then, online merchants are becoming increasingly sophisticated and competitive in marketing to this new breed of online consumers.

Driving Force #3--Increasing Eco-Consciousness

Increasing eco-consciousness is a third major impetus to increased online shopping. Although it is still in an early stage of development, this factor is likely to become increasingly significant as environmental concerns continue to grow in importance.

Increasing numbers of people are realizing that not only do they save money on gas by shopping online but they also help the environment as well. The more that people shop online, the less traffic we have on our highways, which results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. Shopping online, then, can be a great way to go green and save money at the same time.

Here are some additional environmental advantages of shopping online:
  • It avoids the enormous energy costs of housing mostly identical merchandise in thousands (or tens of thousands) of stores across the country by having them stocked in a few central fulfillment centers.
  • Since merchandise does not have to be displayed for sale in centralized warehouses, it can be stored much more efficiently, resulting in further savings of energy.
  • A study by Carnegie Mellon's Green Design Institute showed that "shopping online via Buy.com's e-commerce model reduces environmental impact by 35% less energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions as compared to the traditional retail shopping model."
  • By shopping online, eco-conscious consumers can easily gain access to a much wider array of "green products" than is typically available to them in their local environments.

Driving Force #4--A New Wave in Online Shopping

Companies such as Amazon.com, eBay.com, Shop.com and Buy.com have clearly led the way in the first wave of the online shopping revolution. However, just as Sam Walton developed a "better mousetrap" in bricks and mortar marketing, entrepreneurial innovators are now similarly developing superior online marketing models that are contributing significantly to the current online shopping revolution.

An outstanding leader in this e-commerce "second wave" is DubLi, billed as the world's first Global Online Shopping Portal. Founded in Europe in 2003, it has become highly successful there, with over 2.5 million members, since it was launched in 2006.

As of October, 2008, it has expanded to the U.S. where it has been growing over
four times as fast as it did initially in Europe.

One of DubLi's many highly attractive and unique features is it's "reverse auction" platform where customers purchase "DubLi Credits" at 80 cents each and then use them to bid the prices DOWN, instead of up, on a wide range of the most highly sought-after brand name products. DubLi also offers quick comparison shopping to get the lowest possible prices on hundreds of thousands of products that are available on its vast online shopping mall.

In addition, it awards "DubLi Points" to customers for all of their online purchases. These points, worth $1 each, can be accumulated on a specialdebit card that be used to make purchases anywhere.

Driving Force #5--A Revolutionary New Form of Embedded Giving

DubLi's most outstanding new e-commerce innovation, however, consists in its unique Partner Program, which offers an unprecedented opportunity for fundraising groups of all kinds to get a very generously-sized slice of the online shopping pie.

Here's how it works: For only $199 per year, any organization can get its own branded DubLi website which provides its members/supporters full access to DubLi's reverse auctions and online shopping options. The Partner organization then earns 30% commissions on all of the DubLi credits purchased by its members, as well as 30% of DubLi's profits on their online purchases.

Through this painless and highly simplified form of "embedded giving," fundraising groups can potentially generate huge amounts of revenue while their members simultaneously get the best bargains on all of their online purchases. For people who are committed to supporting their favorite charitiy, this is clearly one of the most ingenious examples of a win-win solution that they're likely ever to find.

The Huge Potential of Embedded Giving for Environmental Charities

This remarkable solution can have special appeal for those who want to help save the environment while also saving dollars by shopping online. Along with reducing fuel consumption and gaining access to a much wider selection of "green" merchandise than is typically available on a local basis, eco-conscious customers can now simultaneously support their favorite environmental organization through DubLi's Partner Program.

The potential attractiveness of this general type of program to environmental organizations is illustrated by the decision of the World Wildlife Fund to sign on with clickgreener.com to access a new source of online donations and also to influence consumers to engage in more eco-conscious shopping. As Monica Da Ponte, the fund's manager of marketing alliances, stated, "Sometimes we're telling people to ride your bike to work. Here we're telling them to shop online via clickgreener.com."

Those customers who wish to spread their support over a range of environmentally-oriented charities can do so by participating in a broad-spectrum embedded giving program, such as one that has been developed by HealthyLife Foundation. Instead of providing embedded giving to a single environmental charity, this foundation divides and distributes approximately 70% of its profits equally to several such charities.

By helping to preserve the environment, this clever new embedded giving invention serves a function that is quite similar in effect to that of buying carbon credits to help pay for the hidden environmental costs entailed in the production of most consumer goods. For consumers, however, it offers the attractive advantage of allowing them some latitude in choosing specifically how their contributions are channeled.

A Great New Fundraising Method

DUBLI —An Ingenious New Way To Shop Online

DubLi, a unique and highly innovative new Global Shopping Portal, has successfully incorporated the best features of Google, eBay, and Amazon.com into a business model with many highly attractive features.

DubLi was founded by eleven visionary entrepreneurs in Europe in 2003. Since that time, it has become highly successful in Europe, where it is now the largest online shopping search engine.

It expanded into North America in October, 2008 where it has been growing between four and five times faster than it did initially in Europe. It will soon expand into Mexico and South America and then into the Pacific rim countries.

One of DubLi’s main aims is to enable its customers to get rock bottom prices on an extremely wide array of merchandise from hundreds of online stores. One important means to this end is by providing a search feature that allows customers to quickly find the lowest available price on any specific item they want to buy.

DubLi’s Unique Reverse Auctions

Moreover, DubLi gives its customers 10% rebates in the form of DubLi Credits on all of their online purchases. These credits can then be used to participate in DubLi’s exciting “reverse auctions.”

In these auctions, which offer the most sought-after, brand name products, customers actually bid the prices DOWN, instead of up as in most conventional auctions. Through skillful participation in these auctions, customers can obtain these products literally for pennies on the dollar.

For example, on what is called the Zero Auction, the lucky customer that places the final bid actually wins the auctioned item for zero dollars. This happened recently with a $5,000 WalMart gift certificate.


DubLi’s Partner Program Revolutionizes Fundraising

Another of DubLi’s ingeniously attractive features is its Partner Program, which is specifically designed to help fundraising organizations of all kinds generate revenue through an elegantly simple form of embedded giving.

Here’s how it works: A fundraising organization spends only $199 annually to have its own branded version of DubLi's online shopping website. This is identical to DubLi’s generic website, except for including the Partner organization’s logo and mission statement.

The Partner organization then actively and continuously invites its members/supporters to do all of their online shopping through this branded website. Not only does this allow them to get the absolute best bargains on everything they buy online, but in addition, their purchases generate very hefty commissions for the organization they want to support.

These commissions amount to 30% on all DubLi credits that are purchased on auctions, as well as 30% of the click-through and affiliate revenue that DubLi receives from participating online stores. Especially on high-ticket items, these commissions can be very substantial.

More specifically, each time a member/supporter buys an 80-cent DubLi credit to participate in an auction, the fundraising organization receives 24 cents. In Europe, where DubLi has been in operation for over two years now, it has been found that the average customer spends around $7.50 per month—or about $90 per year. The average annual revenue generated per participating member for a Partner organization, then, is approximately $27.

Please note that this revenue is strictly from the purchases of DubLi credits and does NOT include any of the commissions from the online purchases of the organization’s member/supporters.

A Huge Added Benefit for DubLi Partner Organizations


Along with providing a very simple and easy way to raise funds through this embedded giving approach, DubLi’s unique business model also enables participating Partners to expand their member/supporter base markedly.

In Europe, again, it has been found that the average DubLi customer brings in three additional customers every 60 days. The same is true for each of these additional customers. The participating Partner earns the same level of commissions on these customers who are brought in through this viral, word-of-mouth approach as from its original membership base.

Here’s an actual example of how this viral growth process worked for a particular participating sports club in Denmark that joined DubLi’s Partner Program a little over a year ago. At the time it joined the program, this club had a total membership of less than 3,000.

After one year, this number had grown to around 50,000! At that point, these customers were generating around $375,000 per month in gross revenue on the DubLi auctions alone. The sports club’s percentage on this was around $112,500!

In Summary

The low start-up cost of this remarkable new fundraising approach puts it within reach of even small organizations that aim to generate revenue to support a temporary project—such as a school band trip, purchasing equipment for a sports team, etc.

For example, an organization with as few as 500 total members and only half of them as active participants, the projected revenue would be 250 x $7.50 = $1875 per month or $22,500 per year, exclusively from the purchase of DubLi credits. Revenue from online purchases would be over and above this amount.

The key to success of this program, however, is that a significant proportion of an organization’s supporting members need to do at least some of their shopping online. Given that they can get rock bottom prices on everything they buy gives them a double incentive for doing so.

In case this remarkable program may seem too good to be true, it’s important to recognize that it’s also HIGHLY PROFITABLE for DubLi—especially during this relatively early stage of its development as it grows its customer base.

Embedded Giving--DubLi Offers An Ingenious New Fundraising Approach For Charities, Foundations, and Other Organizations



By George Shears

Summary

Due to the current major economic downturn, charities, foundations, and other organizations are facing major new challenges in their fundraising efforts. Partially as a result of this, the relatively new strategy of raising funds through "embedded giving" is rapidly gaining favor. DubLi, the unique new global online shopping portal, offers through its revolutionary Partner Program an ingenious application of embedded giving that has many intrinsic advantages over most other approaches. Moreover, it's completely free of the common problems they entail.

Introduction

Due to the current status of our economy, charities, foundations, and other other non-profit organizations are being increasingly challenged in their fundraising efforts. A further impediment is President Barack Obama's recently announced $3.6 trillion budget that calls for reducing significantly the maximal tax deduction for Americans who make charitable contributions.

Historically, for example, Americans have been entitled to deduct from their taxable income the donations they make to government-approved charitable organizations. This deduction has been applied at the highest marginal rate paid by the taxpayer. Taxpayers in the highest tax bracket, for example, have been able to write off 35% of their charitable contributions.

In the new legislation, the charitable deduction would be capped at a 25% rate, significantly reducing the total tax write-off. According to some projections, this new taxation plan will result in an annual reduction in overall donations of up to $5 billion.

The Rise of Embedded Giving

One result of these new challenges is that a relatively new approach to fundraising has been gaining favor. It's commonly known as "embedded giving," which can be generally defined as a form of charitable donation that is built into a larger, unrelated financial transaction.

Perhaps the most common form of embedded giving occurs in the context of grocery shopping, where customers are invited to add a small amount to what they have purchased to help some local cause--for example, a food bank.

Similarly, some phone companies invite their customers to round up the amount of their phone bill, with the excess being ear-marked for a particular charity.

A couple of other common examples are: Donating to a specific charity the small rebate that some grocery stores give customers for using their own grocery bags; or a search engine donating a small percentage of its advertising revenue to charity. This latter example in particular seems to be gaining in popularity.

A major criticism of these forms of embedded giving is that most of them provide no consistent and clearcut way of tracking the funds that are donated to ensure that they actually reach the charities for which they are earmarked.

Concern about this issue has already resulted in the introduction of legislation by Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) to regulate embedded giving. Called the "Protecting the Spirit of Giving Act," it would require that:
  • Retailers notify any charity whose name or logo they intend to use in in selling or marketing products or in donating proceeds from a product;
  • The involved charities provide formal consent for this practice;
  • Retailers provide specific information to customers as to the percentage of an item's price that will be passed on to a particular charity and whether there's a maximum amount of such contributions.

DubLi's Partner Program--A Unique and Superior Form of Embedded Giving

DubLi, a rapidly rising star in the online global shopping firmament, has recently introduced a simple, yet highly effective, form of embedded giving through it's unique "Partner Program."

Along with the global access that DubLi will soon provide to hundreds of thousands of brand name products through many hundreds of top online stores, it also offers a unique and intriguing "reverse auction" platform where customers actually bid the prices DOWN on a wide array of the most sought-after merchandise.

In order to participate in these exciting auctions, they must first purchase DubLi credits with a standard retail value of 80 cents each.

DubLi's Partner Program has been specifically designed for charities, foundations and other non-profit fundraising organizations. It provides a very attractive way for any such organization to generate significant revenue by earning commissions on all of the purchases made by its own members/supporters through its individually branded DubLi Partner website.

Here's a general summary of how this form of embedded giving works: A non-profit charity, foundation, or other organization first purchases a DubLi Partner Program package through a DubLi Business Associate to host its specific branded website as a sub-portal of the generic DubLi portal.

The non-profit organization then actively invites all of its members/supporters to utilize the DubLi auctions and also to do their online shopping through its particular branded website in order to help it raise funds. By accepting this invitations, its members/supporters are able to access all of the highly sought after products offered on the DubLi auctions, as well as all of the hundreds of thousands of products that are offered for sale online through DubLi's generic shopping portal.

The non-profit organization then earns commissions on all of the purchases that are made by its members/supporters, as well as on the purchases of all of the additional customers that they bring in.

It's members/supporters receive a major incentive for their online shopping by receiving significant rebates from DubLi in the form of DubLi credits on all of their purchases. They can then use these credits to participate in the DubLi auctions.

DubLi's Two Levels of Partner Programs

DubLi offers two levels of the Partner Program: 1) The Standard Program package ($249 for the first year and then $149 per annual renewal; and 2) The Premium Program package ($1595 for the first year and then $225 per annual renewal).

The Standard Partner Program package provides a single webpage and pays the non-profit organization commissions of 10% on all 80-cent DubLi credits that are purchased to use in the auctions, as well as 2-10% of all their purchases on the online shopping mall.

The Premium Program package provides 10 first class web page designs with unlimited web pages and pays 30% on all DubLi credits purchased, as well as 2-10% of all the gross sales on the online shopping mall.

The Major Advantages and Benefits of DubLi's Partner Program

Here are some of the clearcut benefits/advantages that DubLi's Partner Program offers over most other forms of embedded giving:
  • It provides an ultra-simple, low-overhead approach to fund-raising. This is especially true for those organizations with a large number of members/supporters.
  • It offers members/supporters a highly attractive way to get bargain rates on an extremely wide array of merchandise while simultaneously supporting a non-profit organization of their choice.
  • In addition, DubLi awards attractive rebates in the form of DubLi credits to these customers on all of the purchases they make on the online shopping mall. This major perk provides an additional incentive that markedly offsets the loss of incentive for standard giving due to decreased tax reductions.
  • It also provides absolute certainty to these members/supporters that the non-profit will receive a specific percentage of what they spend, thus eliminating all of the ambiguity that is common with other forms of embedded giving.
