Ever wish you could give or do more for Trent University Alumni Association? GoodDeedShopping.com is one solution. Trent University Alumni Association has joined up with www.GoodDeedShopping.com to raise funds through Internet shopping. Shop at over 30 Canadian online stores, like La Senza, Chapters, The Shopping Channel, Hickory Farms, or Sportmart. A percentage of your purchase price, ranging from 0.5% to 10% will be contributed to Trent University Alumni Association as a result of your shopping. There are no extra costs; the donation is made by the retailer - a sales commission of sorts. Can you fit that into your schedule? Here's how it works: Step 1: Connect to www.GoodDeedShopping.com; Step 2: Register as a shopper and select Trent University Alumni Association; Step 3: Then GO Shopping! Starting your shopping at GoodDeedShopping.com is essential so that your purchase is tracked, and therefore a percentage goes, back to Trent University Alumni Association. Shopping directly at an e-tailer's site, provides no opportunity to donate any monies! Shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year at your leisure. GoodDeedShopping.com's shoppers pay the same price as purchasing the products directly through the e-tailer. All 30 plus stores are Canadian, therefore sales are in Canadian dollars with no duty or exchange rates. This fundraiser is truly convenient and effortless. Many of the e-tailers on GoodDeedShopping.com are established "brick & mortar" retailers that have branched out to include the Internet. Other stores may be newer, web only companies that provide a valuable product or service. In order for Trent University Alumni Association to benefit, purchases must be made online and through www.GoodDeedShopping.com. The most stringent security measures are followed to ensure that your credit card information is always safe. All e-tailers offer Security Guarantees and individual payment methods such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Check the e-tailer's web sites for details and alternative payment options. There are a few tips for those concerned about security when purchasing online. When at the payment page, you will notice that the space on the top of your browser screen, will say: https://secure.companyname.com. As you know, this space contains the Internet address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator) which often begins as "http." Notice that it now says "https," which means the page is secure. Additionally, on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, a lock icon will confirm the security of the page. All e-tailers have their own security such as Web Trust, VeriSign, TRUSTe, and Secure Socket Layer. GoodDeedShopping.com only enters into partnership agreements with sites that take initiative in offering safe and secure shopping. Furthermore, each e-tailer has their own guarantees for their products and services. Their policies are clearly spelled out within their individual shops. One of the huge benefits of online shopping is the purchaser can pay for items and have the product shipped directly to the recipient. A few of the e-tailers actually provide gift-wrapping or the option to include a personalized note. Consider this option if you have relatives in different cities, provinces or even countries. If you need flowers, sports equipment, books, seafood, a mattress, remote car starter, contact lenses, consumer electronics, CDs, a unique talking gift or one of a thousand other gifts available try GoodDeedShopping .com and help Trent University Alumni Association achieve their goals this year.  |
