Press Release Summary: As of today the internet has become a better place; the launch of aGoodCause.com, enables you to make a difference in the world by supporting a good cause when shopping online - at no extra cost.
Press Release Body: The concept is straight forward; go to www.agoodcause.com and download the AidMaker freeware. When you have installed AidMaker, simply select a cause to support and shop at one of the 800 partner stores. You pay the normal store price for your product but the retailer donates a part of the total purchase to the cause you have decided to support - nothing is added to the price and you decide where the money goes. Up to 75 percent of the total purchase price will go to charity.
Co-founder, Mads Ellegaard says: "You can buy anything you need - electronics, fashion, travels, foods etc. - the list goes on and on. The thing is that instead of just buying the product you also support a worthy cause - free of charge." aGoodCause.com has teamed up with a range of well-known charities such as Plan, Action Aid and ASPCA. Joining retail partners include The Body Shop, Apple store, Amazon, iTunes and KLM.
One of the biggest reasons for the success of aGoodCause.com is that once you have installed the AidMaker software you do not have to remember to enable the program or re-choose your favorite cause every time you shop online. The software does it for you. You just go online and AidMaker does the rest - but you are always in charge. How to join the good cause? All it takes is two clicks
1. You visit www.agoodcause.com and install the free AidMaker software onto your computer. 2. Now you choose your favorite humanitarian cause to support and start to shop.
