A Penny Saved is 7% Donated!

No Sweat has partnerships with a variety of community organizations.  One of the ways that we maintain mutually beneficial relationships with these institutions that make our world a better place is our "Penny Saved is 7% Donated" program.

The way this works is simple.  We establish a coupon code for a community organization which they distribute to their membership or in their promotional materials generally.  When these special coupon codes are redeemed during a purchase at No Sweat, it will deduct 1 penny ($.01) from the customer's order total and flag the order within our shopping system.  All of the orders which have used this coupon code are tallied periodically and a 7% commission is calculated from the resulting order tally (minus shipping costs).  The resulting 7% figure is then donated to the organization for whom we have established the coupon promotion.

The result?  You get to support sweatshop-free shopping alternatives by purchasing excellent fair trade apparel and foootwear while supporting a cause or institution that you have an affinity with!  Win-Win commerce?  No Sweat!
