Charitable Checkout Joins Independent Retailer Conference as Sponsor

Geneva, IL – February 19, 2014— Charitable Checkout, a cause marketing company that enables retailers and other businesses of any size to launch charitable giving programs, has joined the Independent Retailer Conference taking place April 14, 2014 in New York City as an official sponsor.

Consumers today are becoming more aware of how their purchases can have a purpose, which is why we are so thrilled to welcome Charitable Checkout to our flagship Independent Retailer Conference this Spring. The opportunity for our attending retailers and community leaders to connect with Charitable Checkout will be both exciting and informative. We can’t wait to help share this important component of modern consumer behavior with our attendees by introducing them to Charitable Checkout,” Retail Minded’s Founder and Independent Retailer Conference Co-Founder Nicole Leinbach Reyhle stated.

While supporting retailers in their efforts to support customers is always a goal of the Independent Retailer Conference, it’s an added bonus that Charitable Checkout also enables companies of any size to introduce a program into their business that also does good for the world.

Charitable Checkout empowers businesses to profitably connect with target audiences around lifestyle and values by providing social and redeemable rewards to consumers that ‘give’ via any channel,” Founder and CEO Jay Ziskrout of Charitable Checkout tells Retail Minded.

Additional features of Charitable Checkout include a “Plug N Play”, which quickly creates campaigns that support over 1.5 million validated non-profit organizations for retailers to choose from and incorporate into their cause marketing actions. Charitable Checkout automatically flows donation dollars to the designated charities with no red tape or tax implications for their registered users, saving retailers time from complexities that may include donor receipts and expensive regulatory filings. To reward the customer, Charitable Checkout also provides an automated distribution of rewards to qualified customers and / or donors ranging from digital media (ex. music, video, pictures, apps, etc.) to discount coupons, product samples, loyalty points and more. Among many other features, it also allows merchants to publicly applaud it’s customers, donors and even themselves for making a difference through charity by offering a “Social Thanks” feature that helps raise awareness and increase visibility among the donor’s entire social media network.
