Retailers—Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to Donate Year-End Excess Inventory!

Congratulations, retailers! You’ve successfully made it through another season of holiday shopping—hyper-active consumers, a tireless workforce, and a variety of new product offerings to entice your market. As the Christmas decorations have been replaced with Valentine’s Day paraphernalia, apparel for the spring and summer seasons, and new product offerings to welcome the New Year, you can finally relax. It’s time to breathe, close your books, and start fresh—right?!

Not likely. Given the excess inventory and returns from the holidays, your stock may be larger than you like. Your Supply Chain and Asset Management teams are thinking of creative solutions—liquidation, disposal, or perhaps donation. Your sustainability team is wondering how to safely and responsibly manage the remaining merchandise. And your Corporate Responsibility team, all the while, is considering how to leverage their philanthropic impact for 2011 and for the New Year.

The timing is ideal, and Good360 has the ideal solution from both a business and social impact perspective. By donating products to Good360, your organization can responsibly pass on products to our network of more than 23,000 nonprofits that serve every cause imaginable. Have a special cause or geographic region that your company serves? No problem. Good360 can facilitate the donation process—from inbound and outbound logistics, to customer-service, to impact reporting and tax documentation.  It’s our goal to make product philanthropy both seamless for you and meaningful for the charities in our network.
