What is a charity shopping spree?
It’s a fundraiser where O Museum “gives back” to non-profit organizations. It’s easy! Your members shop in the O Museum on-line store during their designated 48 hour period and put in their special code at check-out and we will donate 10% - 20% (depending on the item) of their purchase to your charity. There is no cost to your organization.
Who is eligible?
Any registered non-profit organization or school. This includes church groups, charities and more.
When are they held?
A charity spree can be held during any 48 hour period of your choice.
How does a shopping spree work?
Save the date. Contact us via e-mail with the date you’d like to host your shopping spree and we’ll give you a code for your charity to use.
Spread the word. Create a graphic (or we’ll give you one) that includes your shopping code and a link to the museum store to promote your event. Be sure to distribute your shopping code and the link on your social channels, in e-mail blasts and on your website — to as many people as possible (we can help you with that too). Remember, the code is
required with each purchase to receive credit for the sale. The more sales you bring in, the bigger your donation!
Shop. During the designated time frame your members will shop and use your special code to raise money for you.
Curbside pick-up or shipping options are available.
