eCommerce
Unlock the full potential of ecommerce to grow unrestricted income, reach new supporters, and future-proof your fundraising.
The UK is shopping online. Is your organisation ready?
In 2024, over 27% of all UK retail purchases were made online (ONS). But while ethical shoppers are looking for ways to support good causes, too many non-profit and social enterprises are missing out — held back by outdated systems, limited resources, or fear of the unknown.
High streets are struggling. Retail parks and supermarkets dominate footfall. Meanwhile, charity shops — once a mainstay of fundraising — are losing ground.
But there’s good news: online-retail doesn’t have to be overwhelming, expensive or risky. And it doesn’t always have to mean running your own online store.
We help purpose-led organisations create smart, sustainable online retail strategies that generate income, grow brand visibility, and support your mission — without burning out your team.
There are countless eCommerce options & opportunities for organisations of all sizes, ranging from simple, low-risk online retail to full-scale integrated multi-channel sales operations.
Whether you’re just getting started or trying to optimise and grow your existing offer, we’ll help you find the right eCommerce model for your organisation, based on your goals, capacity, & audience, and we’ll tailor a strategy to match.
If you don't want to run your own full-blown eCommerce website, there are many alternative ways to leverage the web to raise revenue, including:
- Sell donated goods on sites like eBay or Vinted
- Use print-on-demand to sell branded merchandise without holding stock
- Partner with suppliers to offer products and share revenue
- Drop-ship or integrate with third-party fulfilment providers
- Affiliate links to ethical retailers (or run inbound affiliate schemes)
