Stacey Horowitz spent some time
with the editors of giftbizunwrapped.com (a site dedicated to promoting the
gift business through audio interviews with business owners and other
resources) to talk about the purpose and evolution of Shopping for a Change. A podcast
was recorded of the conversation between Sue Monhait of GBU and Stacey. It is
Episode 19, and we invite you to listen to the conversation.
As Sue states in her audio
introduction:
Stacey is the founder of Shopping for a Change. This online
marketplace consists of fair trade products made by artisans from economically
disadvantaged areas across the globe. The local artisans set their own price
points, time, where they work and how they’re paid. When you purchase from
Shopping for a Change, half the net proceeds go to fund improvement projects
abroad in the artisan communities … while the other half is directed by the
shopper to a U.S. based non-profit of your choice during the online checkout
process. Currently they are working with 60 artisan groups from 30 countries on
3 continents.
Among the fair trade summer gift items we’re promoting, please take a look at all our lovely,
eco friendly and very functional kitchenware items. There are many great deals
there too, and these make perfect gifts for any occasion.
Enjoy your shopping with us and be
sure to like us on Facebook and recommend us to your friends. Shopping for a
Change is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
