USave Makes the Stanley East Company’s “Good Egg” List

Community Groups Nominate USave in Flash Survey

5 NOVEMBER 2012, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND: USave.co.nz, a new Kiwi-owned shopping and auction site that helps charities, clubs and schools fundraise, has been recognized in a flash survey of community groups by The Stanley East Company to be one of New Zealand’s most attractive business partners. The Stanley East Company, which has released the Business and Community in New Zealand Report ©2012, evaluates corporate CSR strategies and assists businesses and community groups in forming charitable partnerships with impact.

USave, which since March of this year has been giving 50% of its sales commissions back to the shopper/seller’s chosen charity, was nominated alongside such prominent businesses as The Warehouse, Vodafone, Nivea and Bell Gully. USave’s goal is to give New Zealanders an alternative online shopping and auction site that benefits the New Zealand community and helps many worthy causes.

USave sells name brand new items in its “New Items” section and pre-loved goods by auction in its “Garage Sale” section. The site has already been tested by the public and is fully operational. It offers a unique point of difference -- a way for New Zealand charities large and small to generate donations each time a supporter sells or buys an item on the site. In addition to 50% of the sales commissions, charities can also earn a $5 donation when a supporter signs on to become a seller, as well as $1 on every purchase over $40 in the New Items section. To date, USave has the support of over 200 well known charities who have registered to receive donations. Schools, Churches and Clubs have also been invited to join USave and give their members a unique way to support their group.

USave also has the support of over 100 merchants listing close to 30,000 products at some unbeatable prices. USave’s sales commissions are fair and priced well below TradeMe. USave’s proprietary My Tracker™ system simplifies the transaction and assures that each sale is completed easily.

The company is looking for investment capital and is poised to capture a percentage of the New Zealand online retail market, currently valued at over $2.9 billion and growing at approximately 12% per year.
