YipDeals.com announces the extension of its service to the Charlottesville, Virginia community.YipDeals.com is a unique local deal service that offers deep discounts on local goods and services while supporting local schools and charities.
YipDeals.com donates 12% of each deal purchased to the organization of the buyer's choice. With its home base in Northern Virginia, YipDeals.com has helped local schools and charities raise thousands of dollars easily by tapping into the popular group discount buying market.
Schools, charities, sports teams, and other organizations complete a free sign-up process on YipDeals.com and fill-out a profile page with information about the organization and their fundraising goals. Buyers then can choose to support the organization with 12% of their total purchase by selecting the school or organization during checkout.
Schools have implemented YipDeals.com as an easy and year-round way to replace or supplement traditional fundraising programs. No door-to-door solicitations are necessary and the program runs continuously year-round.
Local merchants receive a higher percentage of sales than larger group deal buying sites and control the number of deals offered. Studies show many businesses have failed due to the high number of deals required by larger sites and the redemption costs are often too high for a small business. YipDeals.com allows the merchant to control the number of deals offered, how often a deal is run, and deals can run for seven days compared to just three on the larger sites. YipDeals.com merchants also create a loyal customer base because they are supportive of the local community.
