Charitable Choice
Targeted Cause Marketing With Charitable Choice Products. It’s the kindest way to be cruel to your competition!
Charitable Choice Products is an “Cause Marketing private label” , created to “Make money, while making a difference!®”. Simply put, we ask our customers to “Make the Charitable Choice ! ®”
When we match a product and a cause, we utilize our marketing, and partnership with the cause, to “Be Kind, and make Charitable Choice®”. This is CAUSE MARKETING.
Rather than re-inventing the wheel , we have used 2 Primary Business Models, which are Newman’s Own ™ and President Choice(tm) (Both are registered Trademarks, owned by their Respective firms- we have no direct affiliation. )
In the case of Newman’s, a celebrity decided to use his fame, and make a difference. By utilizing a variety of private-label manufacturers, this brand was able to penetrate the foods market, and deliver quality products to both his fan base, and to those who would rather see a portion of the profits used to make the world a better place.
It is a HUGE success. Newman’s Own has raised over $100 MILLION dollars for Charitable Causes over the years they have been selling product.

In fact, Newman’s Own has been such a huge hit, and since continues to dominate it’s field, we have decided NOT to DIRECTLY compete with one of America’s beloved brands.
The Concept , however, seems to prove what we believe: That given a choice- people generally want to see their money help others. That Choice should, and will be :
CHARITABLE CHOICE PRODUCTS! ( Make the Charitable Choice ! ® )
Looking at President’s Choice(tm), this firm took our Nation’s Love for it’s President, and positioned its brand accordingly. In actuality, the only ” President ” which makes a choice, is the President of their company! You may be shocked to learn that this company isn’t even American- It’s based in Canada! Regardless, their success in foods has now spilled over to many other products- even Grass seed!

Why is this important? Because it demonstrates the NEED for our concept- VERY simply- When you buy a Charitable Choice product, you’re helping those in need, and getting GREAT value for your dollar.
Our brand is JUST getting off the ground- and here’s your chance to partner with us on the ground floor. The possibilities are endless! To this end we are looking for:
1. Retail Stores who wish to sell our products.
2. Manufacturers who wish to open new USA North American and South American markets for their existing products.
3. Distributors who would like to secure a territory with our brand.
4. Investor Partners who would wish to hold a equity position.
OR- Any company that wishes to refresh it’s brand, help the world, and make money with Specialized Cause marketing.
