What happens when you combine a great deal with a great deed? You’ll end up with Washington, DC’s hippest new startup—Deals for Deeds. What’s not to love about this company? Great deals, eco friendly, and they support local charities.
Here is how it works. A local, eco friendly company agrees to offer an incredible 50% discount on a product or service. The deal gets posted to the Deals for Deeds website with the understanding that an agreed upon target number of consumers must purchase the highlighted product or service before the deal is finalized.
What results is a win-win situation in which the consumers are thrilled with their unique and fantastic deal and the local company has had the opportunity to introduce its product or service to new and potential clients who otherwise may never have heard of them.
Yes, there are similar companies out there. But this one is different in that 5% of their earnings go to a local charity. In fact, one of their taglines is The DC Area’s Daily Deal Site For The Common Good.
I was one of the fortunate ones who received an invitation recently to attend their Grand Opening party. Held at the Artfully Chocolate Kingsbury Confections (ACKC) in DC, this opening event was a huge success which attracted a steady and heavy flow of friendly well wishers and supporters.
The brains behind Deals for Deeds are Josh Hoffman and Harrison Miller—two talented twenty-ish fireballs of energy and ideas who have taken this great concept and perfected it to the good of local charities, consumers and businesses.
