About us
charityCLICKS brings the benefits of affiliate marketing to charitable organisations of any size.
Developed by Infinity Software, charityCLICKS is a black-box affiliate marketing and content management toolkit that enables charities to earn money online without in-house expertise or significant financial outlay.
Take a look at the statistics in the box below. If everyone used our technology for their online shopping, we could raise over £100 million for UK charities.
How it works
Hundreds of online merchants, from well-known high-street names to up-and-coming innovative retailers, pay commissions for traffic driven to their sites that yield leads or sales.
Visitors to a website featuring charityCLICKS technology choose from a catalogue of retailer links and, if they subsequently make any purchases, commissions are paid to us which we forward to the charity the visitor is supporting. This adds nothing to the cost of purchase.
Statistics
- Estimates for online spending in the UK for 2008 exceed £13bn
- On 8th December, 2008, we spent £320m online in one day!
- More than half of the UK population now regularly shop online
The most effective implementation of our technology is in the form of a website that we personalise for your organisation, which you promote directly as your own to your existing networks of staff, contacts, supporters and partners. This website will benefit from a central repository of retailer links that we have selected and verified. Your visitors choose from these links and are transferred to the retailer website where they will hopefully make a purchase.
The website will also benefit from voucher codes, special offers, user reviews and other content to enrich the shopping experience. While our philosophy is not to change anybody's shopping habits, visitors do have the option of sharing their experiences so the site provides a platform for discovering new retailers and special offers. So people who shop through your site may find they actually save money!
All you need to do is encourage your supporters to keep visiting your website regularly regularly for the latest offers, and spread the word.
