Joolwe.com online jewelry store has announced the launch of its "Shop For A Cause" program. The company is searching for charities and non-profit organizations of all sizes to partner with in an effort to raise money and awareness for various causes. Participating organizations will receive a percentage of jewelry sales as donation.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 9, 2009 -- The downturn of the national economy has had an adverse affect on charitable and non-profit organizations; businesses and people are donating less money. However, one Dallas-based company is bucking the trend and donating a portion of their proceeds to participating charities and non-profit organizations. Joolwe.com online jewelry store (http://www.joolwe.com) has announced the launch of its "Shop For A Cause Program" (http://www.joolwe.com/shop-for-a-cause-charity-donation-shopping). The company is searching for local and national non-profit organizations to partner with in an effort to raise money and awareness for various causes. They are willing to partner with any non-profit organization; from a local Boys & Girls club to the March of Dimes Foundation. Joolwe.com is asking organizations who would like to participate to sign up for the program and provide a donation coupon code to their supporters. When the a customer redeems that donation coupon code with their Joolwe.com purchase, the customer will save 10% off the order and Joolwe.com will donate 10% of the revenue from that transaction to the organization. Charities and non-profits organizations can learn more and enroll in the program at www.joolwe.com/shop-for-a-cause-charity-donation-shopping/. Supporters of those charities can also help out by posting the coupon codes on their own website as well and create a cycle of fundraising. When asked why the company is giving away a portion of its revenue to charities in the midst of a recession, Joolwe.com's founder Ryan Cheng says "it's about having compassion during an uncertain time, when things are just beginning to look up. We understand the money is tight for a lot of people, but statistics show that more people are shopping online." Online retailing in the United States has weathered the economic crises better than other sectors of the retail industry and was one of the few areas that experienced growth last year. In 2008, the Nielsen Online Global Survey found that more than 85% of the world's population of Internet users are also online shoppers. Joolwe.com offers customers a plethora of gorgeous options to accentuate a woman's unique style as well as save her money and time. Customers can now do their shopping and donate money to various causes. As a way of saying thank you to the community, Joolwe.com would like to give back to those who are less fortunate. "Joolwe.com would like to be more than just a source for fine jewelry," continued Cheng. "We want to give customers the opportunity to donate money while they shop. If more small businesses like ours gave back, even a little, we could really make an impact on the stagnant finances of some of these organizations. Each donation is a step in the right direction." Joolwe.com online jewelry store believes that success is measured by not only how much one can sell but also by how much one can give back, and they are striving to reach the pinnacle of success. The company is no stranger to community-based efforts, they are also launching their "Joolwe Selfless Woman Jewelry Award" (http://www.joolwe.com/selfless-woman-jewelry-award) just in time for the holiday season. Joolwe.com is asking for people to submit letters telling the story of the person they feel deserves to receive a special Christmas surprise. Five lucky winners will receive the opportunity to select a free piece of fine jewelry from the special reward catalog section of the store. All items are guaranteed to be delivered to their doorstep by Christmas Eve. Joolwe.com online jewelry store is celebrating its one year anniversary in November. The company's passion is jewelry and it scours the global marketplace for exquisitely designed pieces and offers them to customers at affordable prices. They have also just launched a Jewelry Loyalty Reward Program (http://www.joolwe.com/jewelry-loyalty-reward-program) that gives each member the opportunity to earn free jewelry while shopping. Customers who enroll are given one reward point for every dollar they spend. These points are then redeemable for exclusive discounts or for the purchase of free jewelry from the special reward catalog (http://www.joolwe.com/shop-by/redeemable-jewelry) in the store. One of the Joolwe.com's top priorities is relationship building. That's why the company prides itself on using only conflict free diamonds in its store. Cheng says Joolwe.com is a company that charities can be proud to be associated with. "We are asking any charity or non-profit organization that would like to participate to contact us," says Cheng. To partner with Joolwe.com, call 1 (888) 656 -6593 or email charity(at)joolwe(dot)com. Help "Shop For A Cause" and promote a better life for human kind. The "Shop For A Cause Program" is an initiative of Joolwe.com online jewelry store. Learn more about the program at www.joolwe.com.
