Shop To Earth Shopping Webinar

Did you catch this week’s shopping webinar? If not, you are truly missing a fantastic shopping call from our experienced and fun, eco shoppers!

This week, the call highlighted shopping tips, saving tips, and very insightful information on how to use your new Shop To Earn and Shop To Earth site.

Lil Roberts and Rachel Weekly explained the benefits of why you should shop through your site with the main reason being: TO SAVE MONEY! There are numerous reasons to shop through your ecoCommerce site but saving money tends to be the favorite! Extra cash is extra cash, for everyone.

The shopping experts shared how to save $50 per person-per month. They also discussed product modifications, like buying a water filter instead of plastic water bottles and presented the monetary savings this reflects (ahhemm, in addition to the environmental savings!).

They gave tips on how to start thinking outside the box. For example, finding great clothing stores, discount stores, and gift stores. It’s all about planning ahead and using a calendar. Lil and Rachel suggest to look at upcoming holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and kids parties and think about what you're going to need for all of these.

Save time and money with your Shop To Earn/Shop To Earth site; get rewards from cash back, enjoy gas savings, time savings, and promote environmental awareness through eco shopping!

Other shopping tips included:

• Register with your favorite stores: sign up for their email list to receive coupons and discounts for online shoppers. Start with stores you know and then expand by looking at one new store a week.
• Keep coupon codes in a folder on your computer. Save paper, don’t print.
• Make sure you enable cookies. Cookies equal tracking – and you want to make sure ShopToEarn can track your shopping. If you walk away from the computer when shopping, make sure you close and reopen your Shop To Earn site when you come back, search the store you were previously shopping, then complete your purchase. Stores will save the items in your shopping cart if you are registered and logged in. This ensures your cash back.
• Shop To Earn keeps a list of coupons in the Virtual Office – take advantage of those extra discounts! There are currently 12 pages of Shop To Earn retailers offering zero percent sales tax.

The end of the shopping webinar discussed the new ShopToEarth web site including the updated media library with informational videos about global health, like what to do with light bulbs in your house. Lil Roberts also took a tour through the Shop To Earth site and talked about testimonials, featured products, and all the new places to shop on ShopToEarth.

We encourage you, if you have not been on these shopping calls to take a look next week and learn how to make the most out of your site. Check your email or Virtual Office for registration details. There is a shopping call every Wednesday at 9PM EST.

See you online!
