New iOS App Helps People Feel Good About their Shopping

Mobile shoppers looking for big savings at their favorite stores can turn to the Goodshop app, a new iOS app with the latest coupons and deals at more than 5,000 online stores. In addition to being a great way to save money, the Goodshop app adds some extra meaning, as a percentage of virtually every purchase is donated to the shopper’s favorite cause.

The Goodshop app provides shoppers with more than 200,000 coupons, deals, and promo codes at thousands of retailers like Amazon, Macy’s, Target, and Staples – and they can select their favorite stores for a one-touch access to shopping and saving. Virtually every time they shop, the app directs an average of 3% of their purchases to their chosen cause, and it’s all at no extra cost to the user.

App users can choose which cause to support from a list of over 110,000 schools and nonprofits in the US – everything from the biggest, national organizations, like the ASPCA and Stand Up For Cancer, to smaller environmental agencies and local food banks or schools. In other words, the next shirt you buy from Gap can also help feed a rescued dog; the next computer you nab a deal at from Best Buy can help clean our oceans; the next bag of pet food you pick up from Petco can also help buy books for your kids’ school.

While the app is new, Goodshop.com launched in 2007, and along with its sister sites, has to date has raised more than $11 million for a range of causes. That money has been used to feed the homeless, fund cancer research, build school playgrounds, and much more.

“The Goodshop app is a wonderful way for people to incorporate “doing good” into their everyday lives, while shopping,” says Colin Morris, VP of Product at Goodshop. “We see it as perfect win-win, where shoppers can purchase everything they need, save money with great deals, and make the world better too!”

Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, Goodsearch empowers anyone to change the world through their simple, everyday actions. Launched in 2006, the service currently includes Goodsearch, a Yahoo!-powered search engine; Goodshop, an online shopping and coupon portal which works with more than 5,000 top merchants including Amazon, Staples, Macy’s, and Expedia; and the Goodshop app, available for iPhone, iPad & iPod. The Goodsearch family of sites has raised more than $11 million for its participating causes.
