Benefits
Become a Member of Uptown Liz...
Uptown Liz was created to bring awareness about philanthropy in the retail world by featuring and aggressively promoting the sale of charitable products. The company was designed to be an affordable way for companies and nonprofit organizations to promote their "good works," and to provide shoppers a trendy marketplace with a large variety of cause-related products to choose from.
In 2007, Uptown Liz exploded onto the scene in a big way, as not just any kind of Web site, but as a unique, shopping experience with a special mission and story behind it that has inspired companies and people all over the world to make a difference. The company is a new concept as a shopping and retail referral Web site that allows shoppers to browse our large selection for the purpose of buying products that "give back" to the community through company donations. To clarify, we don't sell the products; we simply feature them in our "cause-based" online center, with a detailed description and link to where they can be purchased online. To date, companies like Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, Philosophy, KitchenAid and The Gap have all joined our mission to raise awareness about "retail philanthropy." Uptown Liz has become the one-stop-shop for companies looking to tighten their budgets and maximize their marketing dollars.
Our Shoppers
Our shoppers are committed, socially responsible people who want to "shop for a cause" and make a difference with their purchasing power. Research shows that charitable shopping increases in a down economy, and online shopping increases every year.
Our Members
Our retailers are recognized as "socially responsible companies." Many have seen an increase in traffic and have been featured on television, magazines and blogs after having their product on our site.
Our Presence
We average 200,000 hits and 32,000 unique visitors a month, and have top listing on Google for the following phrases: #1 for "products that give back," "shopping gives back," "retail philanthropy," and #5 for "shop for a cause" and "charitable products."
Our Exposure
We have a huge presence on search engines, which is the number one way the media discovers our company and has led to multiple online, print and television press mentions, from outlets such as FOXNews, BusinessWeek and Lucky Magazine.
Our Efforts
We use social marketing, such as Facebook and Twitter, and conduct product reviews and giveaways on our blog to further promote our company and members. Many times after an organization has joined our site or been featured on our blog, we appear in the first few listings on Google when you search their name (for many, we are #1).
Our Impact
We have become an online directory of socially responsible companies and nonprofit organizations. Companies contact us looking for recommendations for nonprofits to work with, build an alliance with, and offer to make donations in Liz's name. Our mission has inspired companies to start a giving program, and individuals to start charities in loved ones' memories.
Your Benefit
Uptown Liz is an affordable, effective way to promote your company, your product and your cause.
